Poll 1: Most enjoyable thing about winter golf?

[patricks148]

Bounce Games, and not having to worry about o.1 every time.

Having a laugh with a few of the boys and just enjoying the game. i usually only play competition golf during the season, so its a nice change.

Has to be winter league mathplay! Not often you get to play that format during summer! Agree that greens being receptive is also good!

Got to be the soft greens. Then when it stops instead of shooting straight through I look like I play off 7 not 27 haha.. Although ppl who ignorantly leave pitch marks really winds me up

Has to be the competitions. We have a lot more am/am's , scrambles and team comps. Great banter !

 

[JarraArra]

More friendly & social aspect. Also good to stop the ball stone dead on the green. Keeping your game & swing in decent shape for the summer

For Me its the lack of fair weather golfers, The course is less busy and you can often get round without getting in other peoples way thus can build up a rhythm.

Softer more receptive greens are also welcome.........just got to hit the buggers now

I wanted to say that the most enjoyable thing about winter golf is when it ends but I couldn't so I went for softer greens.

Not keen on softer greens, but I do like foursomes and fourball winter comps, especially when you win one.

I also wanted the option of "less people on the course".

Another option is the uncertainty of whether you will get to play. In the summer, its a foregone conclusion that you will be out.

in the winter the prospect of not getting out means that when the course is open, you are delighted. At least until about the 3rd hole when your cold freezing and havin a mare.

Not sure about less people on the course. Our 1st is rammed at first light on a Saturday. I think we have all the usual roll ups playing without significant drops in numbers but all vying to get out with enough time to get round.

Winter golf is for the purists! Cold, wet weather, poor lies, poor greens and a desperate scrap to get an early enough tee time to get round! But I absolutely love it!!!

A nice hot shower when you get off the course followed by a couple of pints and a huge fry up.

Re: Poll 1: Most enjoyable thing about winter golf

None of them really. Its those bright crisp mornings with a hint of mist in the air and no one but me on the course.

Winter league - more relaxed and social than the big summer comps.

Picking any time you want and getting it
