Hi Don,
I smiled when I dead your ‘tips’ on cold weather ,as a Scot who plays at least twice a week all year round , only 2 ” of snow on the groung closes the course ; can’t putt !

Remember, there is no such thing as ‘bad weather- only bad clothing ! ‘

p.s. Try playing in a Kilt ! ( think what might be underneath ?????? )

It just started getting cold here in Virginia. I went out to play yesturday and it was sunny but cool. I played with a senior gentleman that educated me about cold weather golf. How the ball won’t go as far because of the heavy air. It made a lot of sense, because my drives were not going as far as they were in the summer. It was fustrating at first but when my fellow golfer told me about the cooler weather but it makes sense. I think that maybe alot of golfers don’t play in the cold weather because of this, what do you think?
You made a good point about keeping the golf balls warm and using several during play, I will plan to use that tip the next time I play. I have a tendency to only use one ball for a round. Thanks for all the great tips and education.

Cold weather ?? You guys don’t know what cold is. We play all year round (which TRUE golfer doesn’t). 3 or 4 degrees celsius is fine. We even have a Seniors competition on New Years Day at my club on the East coast of Scotland. As Don says, dress for the weather, be prepared and enjoy your golf.

Yeah… it’s been 100 plus all summer here… and so anything below 65 feels miserable for a couple of weeks. You’ll see a bunch of silly Texans wearin’ jackets when the weather gets below 70. Golf aside, I hope we get below freezing a time or two to kill some of the darned fire ants and other assorted nasties.

Good luck, D.J., and best wishes, Don.
