Playing Cold Weather Golf

The leaves have been falling and so has the temperatures. Most golfers have long put their clubs away for the season. But now is a great time to tee it up. The Sand Trap.com has a great story on what is to like about playing golf in cold weather.


I personally like teeing it up and challenging myself as the weather turns colder. Usually, the course is a lot less crowded, the prices are cheaper, course conditions are a little tougher. True, there may be a little less grass in the fairway, the greens may be a little bumpy and leaves might make that stray tee shot a little more difficult to find. But, as long as you prepare yourself by dressing in layers and realizing that you are going to get some bad bounces, you can still shoot a reasonable score.


One equipment change you might want to consider if you do tee it up during the months is to switch to a low compression or softer golf ball, which won't feel like a rock when you hit it.


So get those clubs out of the garage or closet and look for me on the first tee. I always welcome the company.
