Poll: Do you pack up your sticks in the Winter months ?

A lot of talk on frozen golf courses, do you still play or give up as a bad job at this time of year ?

I answered 3 but may have to re-evaluate after rounds at Abbey and a few other courses of late.Not getting much pleasure from trapesing around muddy fields or hitting balls into frozen greens,and then when on the greens putting becomes a lottery.

I'll play as much as I can but will not Putt when the greens are iced up (Comps excepted). Even been know to get some Tennis Balls out in the snow. Anything to keep going.

We have a pairs KO that runs during the Winter and Ladies, Men's and Junior Stablefords.  Any course closures have usually been short in the past, but we lost 3 weeks in February this year, and the course has been closed for the last week.  Having seen the likely temperatures for the coming 5 days, I expect we'll be playing again before the New Year.  We only hold 1 qualifying Stableford per month for December, January and February, and a rather popular Christmas Texas Scramble which had to be cancelled on Sunday, and will now replace the Men's Stableford on Sunday 4th Jan.

Generally speaking, I tend to get out on the course less when it's cold, but only course closures stop me playing altogether.  Next due out Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th if the course is open.

If the course is open then I play, if it's not I find one that is. He who dares wins!

Gotta agree with Mr Flood, if the course is open, I'll play.

Just wish my course had better drainage, its like a mud bath at the moment.  Roll on the Summer months.

Carry on regardless, me.  Don't particularly like playing in mud, but frost is fine.  So if a course is open I'll go and play (except last weekend when I did Christmas shopping - and couldn't make the Ramsdale game, dammit).
