I have about 50 something prov1x's, but i dont want to use them in the winter b/c i feel like i would be wasting them in 30 degree weather.  I am going to get some new golf balls and was wondering what were the best golf balls for the cold weather, any suggestions?

I bought a dozen of the orange Bridgestone E6's for winter use. My home course has had lots of shady, frosty grass and the orange helps. Also softer compression is probably helping out a touch with distance.

Orange e6's area great option for any season, especially winter play. Not too expensive either!!

So far this winter, I have used the Srixon soft feels and D2 Feels and like them both.  Today it was about 48 and I used a TM Burner 2 piece and it worked great.  Lots of good 2 piece low compression balls out there that work great in the winter.  I have used balls I have found throughout the season to get me through the winter.  Come spring/summer, it is back to Gamer v2 or TM Reds.

I was using the Srixon AD333 orange but they have this cheap plastic look to them so have just gone back to the normal ones.

I may look at the e6's people have mentioned

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

Try a Bridgestone TreoSoft ball. It's a 2 piece ball and is only about $20 a dozen. I got 2 dozen at Dick's for $30 on sale.

    • I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed. 
    • I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

    • I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.    
    • To follow up on this now that I've played it, hitting something short of the pot bunkers (so 3iron for me from those tees) is absolutely the right choice. The trees on the left are quite large and there are some mounds/uneven lies around both of the pot bunkers too.  I mishit my 3iron slightly but was still in the fairway with like a 9iron to the middle of the green.
