We have a competition at our golf club. You pick 5 players and the points they score are their world ranking divided by their finishing position. So there is no point in picking Scottie Scheffler, as his score can be a maximum of 1 (1/1) if he wins. I'm not sure that everyone has grasped it, as...
Other questions rather than simply if it gets wet in the winter are...
Do you use artificial teeing surfaces in the winter? How much shorter is the course in the winter months? Are there temporary greens? If so, under what circumstances are they used? Do you enforce winter mats off fairways...
Course open with no restrictions, full length and ropes removed around all greens. Basically, winter is over. The clocks go forward on Sunday for twilight golf too. What a wonderful time of the year!
Still being on winter wheels when the course is firming up and it's 16℃. Can't moan too much though, when it's playing off grass, full tees and greens all winter. Should be back to regular trolley wheels very soon.

There shouldn't be any reasons to not have the course open from 7am at the latest in summer.
