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.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
