As long as the courses are open and the wind isn't too bad, I will play.

In fact, I have tee time for tomorrow even though it is suppose to be high of 40 *F.

If the temperature would represent either an exceptionally good nine, or an exceptionally bad eighteen, I usually find something else to do.

Down here in Jacksonville, I draw the line when it's over 95 degrees.   That's usually in July or August.   Down here, in the middle of winter, there are many days when it's over 60 degrees, so my off

40 with wind chill is about my limit.

Did you play last weekend?  I was visiting my folks in MD and the wind on the course we played got to about that point.

I did.  Last Friday we were out on Chesapeake Bay, so I played River Marsh GC.  Then on Sunday we were back home, and I played Needwood GC, one of my regular courses.  It was actually pretty nice out, around 50, no wind and the sun was out.

The weather in the winter time can be kind of variable, so I can usually make it out a couple times per month on average.  Last year I played most of the winter, until we got hammered with snow towards the end of February.

'50's with a light wind, mid 40's if there's no wind.

Under armor, fleece and wind shirt is my max clothing wise.

I won't play once it gets too wet this time of year either. Pulling balls out of muddy plugs gets old.

 If I'm battling the elements too much, I'm not really playing golf anyway, just kind of bunting it around.

The golf courses and ranges here in Ottawa, Canada closed between Halloween and Remembrance Day (Nov 11) since the grounds are starting to freeze over. My personal deadline is at Halloween. I'm in hibernation until April or early May. :cry:

Suicide doors... Sweet. You'll bake with a propane heater in it.

I'm with the crowd that lets the course determine when I can and can't play. Last year there were 3 times when I was the only one to play on that course for the given day--too many sissies around here.  It tends to get soggy around here during the winter months so I move over to the only course around here that drains well.  I find that winter golf presents some unique challenges that keep that game enjoyable.  I dress in layers and walk to keep warm.  And these keep my hands toasty warm--which is the most important thing when it comes to playing golf through the winter.

Played yesterday in the mid 40s with some wind. It wasn't bad once you got going.

Went out and played 18 this morning. It was 25*F at tee off. Didn't get much higher as the cloud cover came in around 6th hole. 

Still great to be out. Beats sitting at home doing nothing.

not enough snow to go snowboarding.

Well, at least when it's below freezing, the water hazards in front of the par 3's are frozen over. But, this was back when I was much younger.

Now days, 45 degrees is my limit. And I would (have to) really, really want to play to go out when it's that cold.

Looks like I'm done for 2016, weather doesn't appear to be warming up any time soon and most of my playing partners have already headed south.  I was hoping for a 2015 December but that doesn't appear to be happening.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
