Playing in the snow?

[redmike]

With the weather the way it has been recently, was wondering if anyone had any experiences (good bad or funny) of ever playing golf in the snow?

Generally I wont bother playing if there is a decent amount of snow on the ground. I'll quite happily play if there is no snow but the course is frozen.

Lol we had just over 6 inches on monday so I tried playing bunker style shots in my garden to see what it is like but to no avail- I would think in this sort of depth people would do well to get round a course in under 180 shots. I would never contemplate playing on the course with a covering of snow- I don't even like playing with frozen ground.

I was making snowballs and spanking them with my 7I in the yard yesterday, was fun.

I recently played in the snow only about an inch and it was terrible I shot a 101

Played in snow (about an inch) and lost two balls on the fairway so gave up after 4 holes.

Could be the start of another thread.......... Things I've hit with a golf club!

Went out today thinking snow had gone. Fairways were okayish with patchy snow. Greens were pure white - varied between frosty or melting snow - putting either great or complete disaster. But hey - we were out there. Only lost one ball (in a ditch!)

Whats the point, ask yourself?

You hit a drive down the middle and bang, it's lost in the snow.

No thanks I'd rather work and earn money.

Many years ago I played a round in slushy snow(just a thin layer mind), horrible orange practice ball came in handy, it was fun to a point but putting was ridiculous to say the least. Would I do it again? No!

And on the back 9?

Never played in the snow, no intention of either.
Possibility of causing course damage not to mention chance of falling a*se over t*t a distinct possibility!

 

[Sneds]

Personally, I don't play without snow. It's not half as fun.

Will draw the line at playing golf in the snow; just a bit too desparate, IMO.

if it's a choice between staying in a heated office, coffee almost on tap, access to the net, and working on this bl**dy project
or
wrapped up like an orang on steroids, freezing bits off, losing balls all over the course while doing a sub for Titus Oates . . .

hmm, where are my clubs!

 

[Herbie]

I knew you'd say that.
So did I!

Just had another 4 inches of snow overnight to top up what was already here.

Guess the plans to play on Saturday and try out my spanking new GoKart are going on hold

 

[haplesshacker]

Went down the driving range today. Now, after all the snow two days ago, it's pretty much all gone - except - on the pratice putting area and the chipping green!! How come?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

All the ranges here are still under snow following last night. Not sure what I'll do at the weekend

 

[viscount17]

got a lesson booked Saturday, pretty sure that will be cancelled,

and can't even test drive any sticks -

- getting bored with this weather now.
