The only things that will stop me playing will be the course being closed (only ever happens for snow), or if the ground is frozen solid and temp greens are on.
 
I used to be a "course Open, Game on" kinda Guy but, in all honesty, every year it takes just a little bit less for me to not want to go out.
Rain isn't a deal breaker, I was out in it today and scored quite well and played West Hill until my elbow gave in. But it wouldn't have taken much more at the start of the Round to encourage me to not go. When the ground is frozen it becomes a laugh and actually a bit of fun.
So I'll play as much as I can but if the weather means I'm not going to enjoy it then I'll probably not play....next week's not looking too enticing..
 
My course is virtually never closed, don't think it has been closed for a whole day, except for a few snow days, since I joined in 2009. Winter greens also only ever on if there is a frost, not often as right on the sea.

I play every weekend, both days if I can.
 
I tend to spend more time on lessons and gym work during winter, however having said that I do go out at least once a month.
 
My aim this winter is to keep playing to handicap (11) and not reach 12 and improve my putting. If I can play well enough in crappy conditions then summer time hopefully you will see me on sky sports 4 on tour. :D
 
I try and play once a weekend although I won't bother if we're on temps. Simply don't see the point hitting to a flag perched on a wet, bumpy fairway. Try and spend one day of the weekend keeping the short game and putting up to speed.
 
Play whatever provided it is safe (so no to heavy fog) but rain, wind, love it(well kind of!!)
 
I must admit I don't mind the rain or the wind, but not at the same time!
I won't often start a round in the rain these days , but if it's coming straight down without the slightest hint of a blow, I may be tempted.
 
My resolve will be tested to the full later, it will be dry when I tee off at 08.30, although very wet underfoot, but then it's Armageddon at 11 onwards ☔️☔️☔️
 
Normally just play all way through in winter
But haven't got my goswick membership any more and with having the second little'n few weeks not sure if I can be bothered to go out in rain and wind and cold
 
If its raining I won't go out unless its something special like the H4H day. But once out there it has to be torrential before I come in - thank God for GG waterproofs. If its mega frosty its also a no for me. Temp greens are a no too - why hit great shots and then have a lottery??
 
I will go out in the winter just as much as the summer but will be more reluctant if it's peeing down on the 1st tee with no good weather forecast
 
I'm here wondering if I can be bothered playing in a couple of hours. It's currently dry but the winds been getting stronger since 6.00am and the forecast is for 35 mph winds and rain yet again.
