How cold do you go?

[jonanthans]

Generally 50* is my limit, without rain. On the rare occassion I have found myself on the course in implorable conditions, where the course is pretty much empty, I dont keep score, instead taking the opportunity to hit several shots from the same spots and practice on ball flight, shaping shots, etc. I love having the time to play like that for the entire 18 holes, some of the best practice you can get.

I've gone to the driving range at -15C, but that's because no courses are open in the winter in Canada.

The guy is usually play with, and myself, ventured out one morning it was 25, and the high was going to be around 30.

I parred the first 3 holes, but he didn't dress warm enough and thought he was getting frostbite (probably would have).

So we left....

Man after reading some of these post I feel like a big sissy. I usually dont play if its below 50. And I really dont like to play when its below 55 and windy but that still allows me to play 3 or 4 times a week all winter long. If it gets cold here it will get into the 30s for a day or two then warm back up. I guess I would change my tune if it stayed colder throughout the winter but I truly cant imagine playing in the 30s......yall are tough as nails.

Dude I'm from just across the lake from you and if it would either stop raining or snowing long enough to get out, I would! I'm not a professed cold weather nut but however I've played in temps you just described and I am a golf freak as my mothe in law calls me and I would have played in those temps too, sh@t! why not?

I grew up in Florida. I used to have a 60*/90* rule. I wouldn't play above or below those numbers. Now for hot weather, I have no limit. For cold it depends on the sun. I'd say 40* is minimum if the sun is shining.

Hah, welcome to it then! 40 ya say not likley to see it for another 4 weeks or so I bet this winter is just killen ya idden it, what ya doin up her any way what are ya crazy.

I will venture out in 40 degree weather in the morning if it's supposed to warm up quickly into the 50's. If the day's high is only supposed to be 50, count me out. I don't play golf if the elements won't allow me to enjoy it.

Was going to start a new thread, but then found this one...

I played in 3 Celcius (37 F) on Sunday morning. Was 1 over through 5. Then the blizzard came. By the 9th green, I was putting through an inch of snow, causing my ball to careen all over the place...

Still shot 41 after I bogeyed out during the blizzard!

During college days we played till Mid November .. I remember many 20 - 30 degree days playing.

Played in a tournament in college once at Saginaw Valley State, it was late october I think, when we got to the course it was about 40, windy, and cloudy. It started to rain sideways on the first tee. I then saw an umbrella race across the fairway unattended.

By the 5th hole the rain turned to sleet.

By the 9th hole I was putting through a light layer of snow.

By the 18th hole it was sunny, no wind, and about 45 degrees.

Shot 81 that day, low for the day was 78 by anybody on the course.

Next day, 65 degrees and sunny. Shot 75. LOL.

If its a sunny day and the wind is low, ill play into the low 30's. Mid 40's is as low as i will go on an overcast or windy day.
