    23 Degrees at Asheville Muni with maybe 3 other players on the course. Very quiet. I love these kind of rounds. Anybody else in Team Titleist feel the same way or am I the only lunatic?

    I love going out when it's cold and having the course almost all to myself. Unfortunately not going to happen for awhile with 12-14 inches of snow on the ground. Also not supposed to get above freezing in the next 14 days here.

    Way too cold for me. Once the ground is frozen, my outdoor swings are over for the year!

    Looks perfect to us northerners who are stuck on the simulators!

    If it ain't snowing, and it ain't blowing, I'm in for at least 9 holes. I walk to keep loose and warm, and I bring a knife to cut a slot into the frozen tee box so I can get the tee into the ground. It's a much more relaxed pace of play, as there are not that many others out there. Mostly just for fun rounds, as the ground is either frozen for a lot of bounce and roll, or thawed enough to plug the ball. Got to take special care on the greens. The surface is soft enough that the ball will tear the turf a bit at contact, but frozen underneath to prevent use of the divot tool. Just lay the strip back over the ball mark and press it down.

    I'm a transplanted Michigander in Georgia. There was a time even 5 years ago, if they opened the course I would be there. Maybe I'm just old now, but if it's much below 45, I stay home. The grass is dormant, the lies are terrible, the weather is awful. I go to the golf course not to be miserable. Feels too much like work at that point.

    I've only played once this month because the weather's been so bad. I would love to go, but this weekend is another loser with a high of 29 Saturday and 35 Sunday. Another week of waiting...

    Love quiet courses, but our courses start closing 10/31 until Thanksgiving. Right now the local muni’s are open for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.
    Checked in on your course after Thanksgiving Back nine looks good. So sad there was that much damage on the front nine.
