Default Golf carts in winter

If it's 40-45 degrees on winter mornings, how do you get around comfortably on a golf cart?

Looking forward to moving to TV!

You dress warm and close up the cart (sunbrella package down and snapped; doors and windows shut). If you're like me and can't stand the cart all closed up, you dress in LOTS of layers and be prepared to be a little cold. But, then, I'm known for driving with the top down in a convertible when I'm going skiing.

Also for about $50 you can get a nice little propane heater that fits in the cup holder. Our neighbor has one and it works good. We just wear a jacket. The sun is usually shinning so the cart heats up on its own during the day with the enclosure down. Cold nights are the toughest for us to get through. If it gets under 50 at night we drive the car.

I don't understand where all this talk comes from about cold. My wife and I have lived here for a number of years and really have not felt a "cold" day yet.
It might get into the 20s-30s but that's not to bad. You just throw on a long sleeve shirt or sweater. I wouldn't even worry about "cold" until it got to -20 or -30.
Then you will need a coat and maybe some gloves. If you're outside doing chores then maybe a hat.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"

Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
