I know it's cold out...

[HawkeyeMS]

...but I've just been to the range and had to keep removing a thin layer of ice from my clubs where the moisture was freezing on the clubface :mmm:

I've played in some cold conditions but have never experienced that before.

Which range? If its Lavender you aren't filling me with comforting thoughts about heading out to hit some balls tomorrow. I was going to hit 50 at Blue Mountain but maybe not.

I'm sorely tempted to pull out of the stableford on Saturday as it will be on temps given the hard frosts forecast and I can't see any mileage in that. Rather work on the drills from my lesson on Thursday

Was going to the range tonight but it's too parky!

 

[One Planer]

I plan on a range session tomorrow. Good job it's a covered range.

Still, I expect it'll be chilli.

When that first shot bounces 40ft in the air off the green you'll know it's cold

Try not to pull a muscle in the cold :thup:

Frost didnt actually get into the ground here last night, optimistically hoping the same tonight lol. As for the muscle im starting with a strained calf lol

Played today and although it was a bit taters when we went out it was quite pleasant later.

The biggest pain we had on Sunday morning was the frost from the fairways and greens clinging to our cleats! We all had to clear the ice off our shoes before each hole to avoid losing footing!

I find the biggest pain is when it just starts to thaw again - frost then sticks on the ball. If you have a long putt, by the time the ball's got near the hole, it's too big to drop in! I exaggerate of course - but not much. Doesn't seem to happen when the frost is at its coldest

Same for us on Sunday, could have done with anti-balling plate on my shoes!

Worst I had at the range was last November, had to chip ice off the ball before every swing!

I agree its cold as my phone keeps notifying me when it drops even lower. The only thing is i miss it every night i dont play/practise. I had a night off from the range today as i was cooking for friends and inbetween conversation i drifted off to all those things i did wrong sunday and how im going to put these right next outing. Dont get me wrong sun on my back is better than bitter cold but any excuse will have me out there... If it werent for having to see the ball i would be out there now.

A belated Welcome to the forum

 

[Smiffy]

I'll be popping up to Crowborough tomorrow with my membership application form and cheque. I was planning on playing afterwards but the forecast will see me jumping in the car and heading off back home. With the wind chill factor it's going to be minus something. Minus me.

 

[Captainron]

It's no fun playing in Baltic conditions. I might make a resolution not to play unless the temparature is above 10*

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Be like hitting round rocks up the range today
Think some indoor putting drills may be the order of the day

My beard froze up a bit on Saturday morning, which is a new one on me.
