Ear muffs? Mittens? Heaters? You people have gone soft. The high today in TV is 71 with a LOW of 51. Here in the K.C. area we are looking forward to a HIGH of 52 on Monday!!!! I will be there late next week and will be getting tee times around 7:30 with no fear of the icy conditions. My advice to all of you is - stay indoors and crank up the heat - don't get tee times, leave them for the old coach. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Once you live here you will start to think that temps in the 40's and 50's are cold. The day referenced in the original post was extremely windy and cold. As a Massachusetts transplant, I once thought like you did - I would be wearing shorts all the time....we live on a golf course and laugh when we see people wearing shorts on colder days. It is easy for us to identify the visitors and snowflakes.

Played Friday when the wind was blowing, just as cold but the sun was shining. A little more comfortable.

I was more comfortable on the day I was wearing long pants and of course layers. I had so many layers on I could hardly address the ball. I could hardly see the ball...

I got rid of all my knit hats when we moved here, pretty dumb of me.

We went to Panera afterward and all ordered hot chicken soup at ten thirty in the morning.

Sweetie found a pair of warm golf gloves for me.

Thank goodness for zip down sides on the golf cart.

Ah the pleasures and difficulties of golf addiction. ;)

Any suggestions for being warmer on the course accepted gladly.

We don't need space heaters Gracie is our ray of sunshine!

there are far too many nice days to play to choose from....and freezing while playing is not a priority nor desire or remotely fun for me.

Ditto for playing in the rain!

For those who like it or need to do it or not be seen as chickening out.....have a good time between shuddres!!

We played Oakleigh on the coldest day imaginable Tues 22 at the crack of dawn. We rode all the way from Buttonwood and were pop-sickles upon arrival at the course. One gal's driver went airborne as her cold fingers lost their grip on the club, and the club went head over handle, right past my noggin. As you know, I have limited vision, and stood admiring the view, unaware of the missile, as it breezed by my ear. Fellow golfers were rooted to the spot, unable to say a word as my guardian angels earned yet another award :) I will add, I was waaaaay back from the tee.

If you are not "dressed", golfing in cold weather is not fun. Absolutely, the coldest I've ever been was in Myrtle Beach S.C. Playing golf. It was first week of March in the early 90's when the "elite eight" had 4 days of nice golfing weather and on our last day a cold front came in. None of us were really prepared. Wind, cold and on the back nine it begin to snow. I think it was the 15th hole when my foursome teed off and nobody saw where Anybody's ball went----we headed to the 19th hole as fast as the carts would take us.
