What are they smiling at?



A wait at the Turn?

From 1990 to about 1995 I think, we actually played in the winter, in periods when the snow wasn't too deep, but then someone decided to shut the course till spring. Too bad.

i bought a few taylormade thermal hats last year and theyre great. after a while with the walking you really sweat! its the initial getting out of the car,trying to hit balls and so on that is the bitch in the really cld weather

How cold will it have to be before you give up the good fight and just stay in the car?

Perfœct!
 

thanks for that link! What's the currency?

I was only showing you examples of what to wear. You often see many of the world's best wearing such "caps" (Nike) (I don't know what you call them) when it's cool/windy at St. Andrews and such places.
One dollar = 6 kroner

over here its the rain that will finally beat you.....it can be below freezing but if the greens are playable then bring it on!

just the constant winter rainy days are the real killer

As Roald Amundsen said: Put on a cap if you freeze on your toes. It is not how much you put on your hands and arms that determines whether you'll have cold hands. It's how much you put on everywhere.

Here's my stock dressing for a very cold day at the course:

Long foot underwear
Some sort of thick gym trousers in the middle
Rain trousers on the top

Wool T shirt
Long sleeve polo
One thin "middle layer" wool sweater
Another sweater with an inbuilt wind breaker
Possibly a rain jacket on top.
A warm cap
A scarf

Key is to have plenty dressing on the large body parts. So that you get a little hot. This will keep the hands and arms plenty warm & smooth without using extra gloves etc. You can always remove a layer or two on the course if it gets too warm.

The rain jacket, the middle layer wool sweater, the cap and the scarf goes on and off as needed.

And ditch the cart. Walking keep you warm.

Below freezing!? Now you've got me inspired! :golf:
