never----as long as the is a minimum of snow on course any temp will do. I've played on frozen ground. Great roll out on fairways but the lofted irons to a rock solid frozen green can be a bit challenging. Wisconsin Golf!!!!!!

If there's no snow on the ground then it's not too cold. I played in the rain today. It was great. Wish I had some rain gloves though.

60 degrees

Wow, then I would already be done for the year. It was high 50's today most of the day and I was still in shirt sleeves. I guess the blood thins out the further south you go

I agree with never too cold as long as your are prepaired for it. Now living in the NW cold and wet is the norm. If I was from So cal I would have to say 60's!! LOL

We play year round here. On occasion we have a cold front come through and it gets too cold to play. I would have to say around freezing is when I draw the line. If I have to put on so many clothes that I can't swing anymore, then maybe I take the day off.

I'll play as long as it stays above 50 and not too windy. On windy days even 50 makes my hands numb.

When I can't play in shorts! Thankfully this doesn't happen very often in the Palm Springs area.

Ask him if he can play in July or August

LOL...I actually play more in the summer because the greens fees are so inexepensive. However, I do try to start no later than 7am in July and August. 110F-120F makes for a tough round even though we have that nice DRY heat!

I play year round. With the bitter cold winter in AZ we are lucky to wear shorts all winter. And I do play in the warm AZ summer. Best time to get the killer deals on the really expensive courses of the winter months.

I think once it got down into the 30s I would stop. I have however, played in the spring when there was still snow left on the course...I hit a shot out of a bunker filled with snow! It was a little softer then the sand...

Also watched my brother snap the head off of his PW during that same round. The fairway was like hitting off of concrete!

    • Day 35 (15 Dec 25) - Short session today focused on exaggerated weight shift using left heel trigger.  Hit a few pitches using the process to help capture the feel. 
    • Day 125 12-15 Half swings with flow drill. Focused on rhythm, loading trail side then getting to lead side correctly. Hit a few foam balls but mostly drilling without ball. 
    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.
