ZWExton - Weather forecasting has been abysmal the past couple of weeks and 60's were projected both days. We committed and made it work but I'm with you, mid 40's and little wind is now as low as I will play, if I must. Shoot, when we drove in the entrance on the really cold day for our noon tee time, we observed a guy in SHORTS on #16 so he would have teed off before 9 a.m. in sub 40 temps!
Winter is here...
Sun is a big factor this time of year. 40's and sun is ok... 40's and clouds is cold.
Right now, in the QC, it is 29 with wind of 13 mph. Low of 17 tonight with high of 30 tomorrow.
Ok class, can someone tell me why I put the clubs away 2 weeks ago???

We played...we were the only foursome all day. Friggin cold and wind. I think I had on too many layers. T shirt, under armour heat gear turtle neck, heat gear long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt pullover and a wind breaker.
It's funny when it's so bad out and u really have to focus. Shot -3 for 9 and really just improvised it around.
Here is one of our guys wearing a head sock and winter gloves...
Winter? The damn trees still have leaves on them! And the grass is green.
Know what's weird Rex?..because of the weather this year, the trees still have most if their leaves.

I thought your course didn't have grass?
I used to play year round if there wasn't snow on the ground. Played as low as 34. Walking's not bad but had a cart cover and heater too I sometimes used. I played last weekend and it was 48 and gray and I think I'm done for the year. I'm not as golf crazy as I was. If you're playing in a tournament or even with a group of guys with some cash on the line it's still fun cause everybody's in the same boat, but just to go out and knock it around, I think I've had my fill.
Rex, there was still a lot of leaves out there. The crew is putting in the irrigation system so any other type of upkeep is out the window. Usually they are good with the leaves. I lost an approach shot dead at the green but lost sight in the sun. Windy as feck and had 3 of us looking for it...nothing.
I'm hoping to play Friday. The predicted high is 59 but a 70% chance of rain. We could use the rain.

Same here. Until last night's cold. Seems like all the leaves everywhere just dropped overnight. Sidewalks around downtown RI were completely covered.
Same here. It is going to be in the 40's today but I am going to have to mow/mulch the yard before it rains tomorrow. Brrrr. My grass usually starts turning brown in August but it is still green and growing. The Aristocrat pear in my backyard just started dropping leaves two days ago. Usually the pear tree has millions of pears that ripen and make a mess but this year the birds and squirrels picked the tree clean about a month ago. I hope that isn't an indication for bad winter.
I heard a mild winter here in the Northeast. Hopefully the last 2 days are not a prequel....
South MS late fall in hold pattern . 70s daytime 45 at night.
No frost yet. Turnip greens and mustard greens still growing well. Not much color in foliage this year . Leaf drops mhave been working our yard vacuum hard for last two weeks. Compost pile growing.
Nice midday , evening duffing weather, enjoying relief from long hot summer & very thankful for no more hurricanes or fall tornadoes . Going through my stock of found balls rather fast lost into brumuda triangle rough / leaves.
I'm still waiting on Indian summer! We had the heat, then the gradual drop in temps, but no upturn of temps in the 70's, as is the norm toward end of Oct.. (prolly Al Gore's fault)
That's fine. I'll take it at Christmas instead.
Cold here today. High was in the 40s. Very windy. Not good for playing golf. I generally don't play if the temp is below 50. Played once when it was 38 degrees. Never again if I can help it.
Good weather coming back again this coming week, though, with forecast highs in the low 60s. That's actually really nice for a round of golf. I walk in the fall when it's cooler.
