Where do you draw the line? WINTER IS COMING

[Yukari]

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.

[chilepepper]

It was 44 deg on the range today and sunny. I actually had on long pants and a pull over. That's dedication for you  it was 60 when I left

40 with wind chill is about my limit.

We're straddling my lower limit right now. Gray, 40-degrees and a wee breeze. More of the same tomorrow. I may or may not go. We'll see.

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.

Highs in the low 60s late next week. Probably going to be below my range.

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.

[Yukari]

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.
