Winter golf....absolutely pointless...tell me otherwise.

[jim8flog]

Winter greens really sharpen up you short game, particularly if the grass is long around the greens. Mind you GPS becomes a bit redundant and a laser comes in to it's own.
Just do not get serious about putting.

Winter golf is not pointless - there, I've told you!

If you think golf in the winter is pointless, you are missing the whole point of golf.

If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never play.

Yep!

Ultimately golf is a challenge and you take on the course and conditions that get presented.

On the other hand Richart summed it all up pretty well earlier!

Getting out in the fresh air, and out of the house. Playing with mates, plenty of chat, not taking golf too seriously, food and drink afterwards. Yes totally pointless.

This, just this :thup:

Yeah winter greens are meh as are many courses generally in the winter

Winter golf can be fun though, poses an interesting challenge

Personally some of the most enjoyable games have been on a crisp still winter's morning... nice feeling once you've walked a couple of holes and the body's warmed up

Rather that than autumnul wind/rain and a course covered in leaves

It's what you make of it really... and the company of course

Am I really, uncut miles forward tees, a flag stuck in the middle.....somewhere and freezing cold, seems I'm not alone then cause our course was very quiet today compared to say....err...last week.

Today just reminded me that winter golf is not for me, if it's for you and everyone else on here, woopdee doo for you, I'd rather walk the dog, and I don't have a dog.

Correction- winter golf on parkland temp greens is pointless.


Links is still bone dry and rolling beautifully

Nicely put 👍👍

and what he/she said above .....attitude adjustment required

No winter greens, still measured course, we had a load of rain in the night & morning but course holds up well.

Where do you play to be on winter greens already?

Winter golf where you play does sound pointless tbf, thankfully at my course it's pretty much like normal golf unless frozen :thup:

Even then it's about getting out for a laugh with mates

Dundee, it was zero degrees at 7am, 3 at 9am and our course is parkland where quite a number of greens don't get much sun at this time of year due to low sun, tall trees.

Live, or on tv?

Fair play 😂🤣

you could go to support one of the local football teams but then again playing to winter greens might be a better option.

First time on winter greens for us today, utter waste of time IMO, better sitting in the house, what's your argument to the contrary :mmm:

Where do you play that’s so poor?

I'd rather shove a hot welding rod up my nether regions than go see any of that lot.

A place clearly a lot colder than rural Lincolnshire at 9am this morning.
