Temp greens are the only thing that will stop me playing. I really don't care for the pointlessness of them.

I have voted for the cold option. It is cold and wet or cold and windy or all three together. It is the hands: once cold useless. I wear lined mitts and light up a carbon stick hand warmer but these don't do what they should.

Only time I remember us being on temporary greens was when there was 2 inches of snow over the course!
Quite lucky at our place with temps.

As Daymond says, it's the cold. Once that gets hold of you it's a bleak round!

Has to be temps for me. I can usually play in the coldest of conditions and with the array of modern clothing (base layers, roll neck jumpers, hats and windproof tops) it is pretty easy to layer up and not feel like the Michelin man. I can't see the point in trying to get a ball to react properly hitting in to a tiny prepared bit of ground knowing it won't pitch and hold and that putting will be a lottery even with a larger hole

I'm with Oddsocks, not being able to play in the evenings is the worst thing.

Re: Poll 2: Least enjoyable thing about winter gol

I would say wet weather.

I don't mind the cold (there is enough of me to keep that at bay ), but cannot stand playing golf in the rain.

Early morning delays due to frost.

Re: Poll 2: Least enjoyable thing about winter gol

I voted for soggy lies. Since doing my back in I just don't have the strength to dig the ball out like I used to do.

Winter greens and also the fact I'm to 1round a week

Re: Poll 2: Least enjoyable thing about winter gol

Temps for me aswell, although we rarely have them. Not too fussed about the cold as the clothing you can get can combat that these days without you having to wear 3 jumpers.

Re: Poll 2: Least enjoyable thing about winter gol

Threat of course closing & no golf!

 

[richart]

Temps for me , but we only ever have them when its frosty. Also we only have 15 temps as 3 of the pars 3's have no room for a temp. Makes winter league matches a lottery.

• Cold weather
  Under Armour is a great invention.
• Soggy/muddy lies
  This is the one i voted for as its what I hate about golf. Our course is usually dry and rarely soggy but play anywhere else and this raises its ugly head.
  
• Filthy trousers and shoes
  I've got enough shoes/trousers to cope
• Temporary greens
  Don't have them at our course.
• Bucket holes
  See above.
• Tee mats
  No matts either
• Lack of run
  I usually play a fade, so lack of run is normal
• Bleak views/landscape
  We sit on a hill,great views.

 

[Slicer30]

lack of comps/qualifiers for me.

Voted for temp greens, its is a pet hate of mine! I dispise the thought of hitting into a fairway green, then getting there and putting accross it
