If it looks like that tomorrow, the courses will be closed all day and saved from the carnage. Perhaps they will offer free golf on New Years day as a make up date, NOT, that's the day winter rates start

I guess this is like polar bear club up north that break the ice on a lake to take a swim. Not my idea of fun. But if you do this wear a mask.

Such a humbug. Those of us who play on Christmas day, do so because it has become a fun tradition. There is no carnage or destroying of the courses.

Sorry to contribute to the "humbug", but that is absolutely, positively, unequivocally WRONG. I've sat on my lanai and witnessed it year after year. If you are playing, all you see is your group and the group ahead, I can watch a dozen or more go by. Here's a taste of what happens, from my previous post.

I live on a champ course, and carnage is far too gentle a word to describe what happens. Carts driven on greens and through bunkers, 4 or 5 deep divots, unfilled, just from "practice" swings, deep ruts from driving right through the wet areas that are clearly marked, clubs thrown further than the ball was hit, 17 zillion F bombs, 8 year old children driving a cart, and the list goes on. I would suggest you use the word "apocalyptic" instead

I hope it's not too cold for you and you get a chance to play, and it sounds like your group does the right thing and take care of the course, but that is not the general rule.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

That happens all the time. It’s wrong and if an “ambassador” sees it, he or she should say something, but won’t. Doesn’t just happen on free golf day
