Playing in the cold: what’s you limit temp wise?

I’ll play when it’s freezing as long as the sun is out and there is no wind. If it’s windy, I’d prefer 60+.

had this conversation yesterday.

I'm a born and raised southern Louisiana guy in the swamps. heat and humidity are my comfort....and now i take blood thinners, so cold weather to me sucks.....but its the damp Louisiana cold that is the worst.

dry/no wind, i could maybe do 45-50.

wet/damp, gotta be 55+

I used to say that my limit was 45, but that was when I only rode a cart in the winter. Since I started walking, the range has dropped to freezing. I played in cloudy 35 last January, and I felt fine after the first hole. My blood was constantly flowing. I bought some of those big golf mittens that I wear between shots.

I also only get to play about every other week. So, I understand the guys that play multiple times a week that will just skip cold days.

It used to be, if the course is open, I’m playing.

Now, 45-50 and windy, I’m out.

Windy - 40
Calm and sunny - 30

^you are the man!

I am not tough enough anymore.

With just signing up for a membership with the intention of playing a lot more, I'll be playing as much as I can. Played 9 yesterday in 50ish degree temps and wet and was completely comfortable. But know just a bit colder and I'll need better clothing for warmth that is still comfortable to swing in. Need to invest in a good jacket, layers, mittens/hand-warmers, etc.

All depends on the wind. I can play in mid 30’s if it’s not windy. Played last weekend at mossy oak in the low 40’s and there was a little wind. Wasn’t horrible but with some wind that was right on the edge for me.

If the high isn’t above 50, I don’t play.

If the low is below 40, I don’t play.

42 degrees and 4 layers of clothes. You will definitely have the course to yourself
