Blue and icey? or grey and wet?

[mikeyh]

As the weather seems to have turned, just wondered what people thought.

Whats peoples preference? Would you rather go out on the course on a grey and rainy day or a sunny yet frosty day?

 

[Twire]

I'm quite lucky here as we don't often have frost's although we did have the cold snap that the rest of the country had.

I don't mind what the weather, as long as I can get out and play.........it's the only thing that keeps me sane.

Either, so long as it isn't WINDY!!

 

[Parmo]

I prefer sunny option but within reason, I don't mind a frost that doesnt turn the greens to concrete, but I don't like playing in dull rain & windy condictions, I find nothing more depressing.

Ideally I like bright Spring mornings with a chill in the air and tee off at 0700 and be the first of many to attempt to beat the course that day.

Spot on Parmo.

Blue and icy for me but that can get too extreme at times.

More or less the same as that, but not so cheesed off maybe if it starts raining half way around. I hate teeing off in the piddle though.
I really can't abide playing in strong winds. I played at Dunbar once, you could hardly stand up and a full blooded driver into the wind was travelling about 80 yards if you were lucky. Don't mind a nice gentle breeze though...I would rather that than flat calm to be honest.
Fussy git or what?

 

[Herbie]

I dont like it too windy on cold days but other than that, I would play in either conditions.

 

[Parmo]

Remember last summer? either rain or wind on most days

I`m trying to forget it.

I don`t mind the wind or the cold as long as it`s dry.

Blue and icy in the winter although hitting 9 irons around 160-170 yards and trying to get the ball anywhere near the hole is a struggle but as far as I am concerned thats not what winter golf is about - just getting out and swinging is the main thing.

 

[mikeyh]

i prefer the blue sky, crisp mornings as well, but do not enjoy playing temps!! Grrrrrrrr! I actually wouldn't mind getting out on full greens, on a wet day at the mo. As long as it wasn't raining too hard when i started!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nothing more depressing starting a competition in the puring rain, especially if you are drawn late and the start of the field have had dry conditions at least part of hte way round.

I prefer dry and cold but with no forst in the greens so you can still play full shots into them and get the stop a well struck shot deserves rather than see it take a huge bounce into the cabbage at the back

At the end of the day I'm happy to play wherever, whenever so I'll take the conditions as they come and do my best to beat them and the course (although I don't succeed very often)

Ok Tiger, when you back

 

[Albanach]

Just my hogmanay experience on a links course + plus a very heavy frost and outrageous bounces - but as long as your out swinging, better than sitting at home and the mushroom and stilton soup afterwards was worth the round

 

[DelB]

.... and the mushroom and stilton soup afterwards was worth the round

Guy-ropes on the duvet that night then, eh??

Any weather. It's all part of the challenge.
I have bottled out twice in lightning storms though.

Back in the days wwhen I was a whipper snapper, I had a fantastic game in the lightning. But back then I was indestructable

Is that why you can put a lightbulb in your mouth and it light up?

But you could only play on Tuesdays as that was the day you were let out
