Cold weather in Doha

[Dodger]

Just been watching the Qatar Masters and the commentators and indeed players are complaining about the cold weather....one player even complained about having to put a sweater on!!!!
Blowing a hooly here and bloody freezing to boot how I would love to have to play with just a sweater on!
Monty, would you like to swap with me today please?

they've got it tough those boys!

Although I saw Steven O'Hara in the gym yesterday with his brother Paul (promising young golfer!) and wondered what on earth he was doing here!!!

 

[Dodger]

no tour card for O'hara.

Its blowing an absolute gale here also, which is great for helping to dry the courses up a little, perhaps our course might even be open tomorrow!

Yeah, kinda my own thinking Brendy. Not holding out much hope though I have to say.

If I played in a sweater at Shotts I would be in Wishae General with Hypoth.... Hipoth .... Newmoan.... pnumo.... the flu !!!!!!!!

I just got back from the driving range, would have been in my polo and chinos but im testing a jacket for GM. I love playing in the cold weather, makes me feel alive and fresh.

i prefere to play in the cold because if i get to hot a get affected really easily. although i played the other day and it took me ages to warm up. And a 4 ball in front were so slow i had to keep warmin up on each tee waiting.

I don't mind the cold at all, only time I don't like playing is when it's windy with pouring rain.

those lucky `b`s ` out in that sun ..they don`t know there livin eh ..ma heart bleeds for them .. was down the range the other night and ma driver head was freezing up with the moisture off the balls !!

 

[happyhacker]

Hehe, yeah had that last week too. Clubs were actually icing over until I swapped to a different one.

At teh risk of making you all feel green. just got back from 2 nights (3 rounds) in Cornwall. Took a chance on the weather and had sunshine all the way, blue skies and sea, glorious sunsets etcetc. course in good nick (Carlyon Bay, not exceptional course but nice views, well drained - just one or two temps after a frosty start today which was irritating). Played in the afternoons in polo shirt and one sweater - v. little wind.
what country were we in? Bet Majorca wouldn't have been nicer!
