Snap. We resorted to shouting "First fairway clear", "First green clear" etc to the group behind for 18 holes to avoid clouting anyone. Not fun.
Winter? No thanks, you can keep it.

only wearing a base layer and a light jumper
car said 17 degrees

Down here in Berks we've been fog-bound most of the day with the comp scuppered by a closure around 9 until 11
I was ou in the bike for a few hours this morning, and only at Remenham hill above. Henley did I get above the fog layer. Otherwise, as you say , it has not moved all day.
Went out afternoon with my daughter to a few garden centres and it was really eerie with fog still down

Warmest ever recorded November day today. Hardly winter conditions...
Fog was weird tho. I played this afternoon in the most fantastic conditions, but as we came up the last hole at 16.30 there was a bank of it following us. By the time we'd cleaned our boots the course was invisible.

Course sporadically closed for fog today. Opted for short game work. A bit of a lottery according to those that ventured out

Do you have any sort of rules in force with the fog ?
We are not allowed to tee off if you can't see the big oak from the first tee - it's about 200 yards away
We have a marker post behind the first green (229 yards) and the marker about 30 yards beyond that. Also one about 250 yards down the tenth. Both have to be visible to allow play

Thick fog here this morning....I was in shorts and t shirt teeing off at 6:50am. The legs don't get covered up until December.

We have a bunker about 150 yards off 1st and if not clear it's klaxon time and course closed until it becomes visible.

Our first is a 230yd par three. If you can't see the flag, then course is closed. Never seen so many people kicking their heels on the putting green hoping for the fog to lift. Which it did about half twelve, about half an hour after the last of us gave it up on the mornining swindle.

Utterly stunning day here, ambled 9 holes in short sleeve shirt this afternoon and wished I had shorts on and a cap not a woolly hat in the bag!!! Impossible to believe it was November. Understand those moaning about the fog, drove through a lot of it late last night, wasnt much fun!
As for playing in the fog when you cant see 100 yards, just crazy imo

Too right. The comp at Condover was delayed due to the fog.
"If you can't see the yellow disk, you can't play"....
I can't see the yellow disk (on the tree)... better get to specsavers.

Absolutely stunning day for golf today. Played a club match in the afternoon under a clear sky, the low afternoon and setting sun made it achingly beautiful out on the links with all the contours bathed in lovely yellowy-orange sunlight.
Doesn't get much better.

I was on a hole and could not see the green in any fashion with 68 yards to go on my gps. Klaxon spoiled all my fun after that...first time I've ever parred that par 5 as well.
