Having played a couple of rounds over the last week with frosty conditions, I was wondering how other people deal with this.

When there has been a hard frost and the greens are frozen.  What I do is take it for granted that my approach shots are not going to be great, a bad bounce should always be expected.

The same thing for putting.  I don't take as much notice of my putting stats during the winter due to the conditions of most greens that I putt on.  As long as I start the ball off on a good line it doesn't bother me too much if the ball hits/skids off line.

I'm playing a friendly round (but I better beat them!!!!) today and the conditions are going to be the same as yesterday, hard frost.

So what do you do when it's frosty?

To be honest, Russ, I loathe playing in frosty conditions. For a start it doesn't do the greens any good to be walked on when they are frozen. And trying to play approach shots is just a lottery. So I tend to intentionally play short of the greens and then play a gentle pitch and run shot.

These bad conditions have gone on for longer than I can ever remember. It's been 8 weeks now since I have played a full round, and desperation to play is getting the better of me.
