Go 200 miles east on I 40. You'll find plenty. Any Floridians want to rub it in too?:\I'm not sure I understand anything in this thread. What is S-N-O-W?

I have already posted once stating that I will play 365, but my mood is so greatly determined by the quality of the tee pads. I have enough clothes and gear to ensure that I will at least survive no matter what the temperature. I can handle extremely cold temperatures as long as the wind is relatively calm, but nothing makes or breaks my mood than the state of the tee pad. I can achieve 400 foot power, but it is a complete body effort. If I am arm only, I am done into the 280-320 range. If you are used to a certain flight, your game and your mentality is built on that, and suddenly and often you fail to achieve normalcy, it throws off your whole game. Nothing pisses me off more than icy tee pads.
Griplocks and late releases are bad enough, but I have no desire to break anything by slipping. What I hate most about winter are those short-lived days of above average temperatures that lull you into a false sense that winter is not that bad. Snow thaws, puddles and mini-lakes form, and it is an annoyance but still playable if you have enough towels with. But then it freezes, forms ice, and stays bitterly cold for the remainder of the season. Now we have ice for several months. If it was just cold when it snows and stays that way, allowing you to shovel and maintain clean tee pads, that would at least be acceptable. We are designing our local 9, and moving the tees is a necessity. Aside for safety, flow of play, and keeping it a relatively difficult shot, we are taking into consideration of keeping the tee from being flooded.
I hate winter.
No wonder you really don't see any of the pro players coming from the likes of the cold states. I HATE WINTER!!
Granted, they don't necessarily live there still, but from there...

I think a winter of standstill drives and poor footing helps some parts of my game.
Well, don't throw Nukes or other high speed drivers in the snow.
Stick to putters, mids and maybe fairways.
That and get some good wool socks and waterproof boots.
I swear by waterproof socks. I like toe warmers inside of them!
Some people can't stand the waterproof socks because their feet sweat, but I think they are great. Seal Skinz or Randy Sun, I've owned both, lasts for years.
All of you in the upper Midwest be safe these next few days.
timg doesn't have an Achievement for the coldest round played.
Isn't there a course in Antarctica? Surely that would be a solid contender too.
I was up Nort' in Michigan this weekend at a Winter Pro Rally.
