Wow you guys, 50??? For me it depends on the wind. If the wind is minimal then low 30's is still very comfortable.
Played 18 in 39 degrees and it was great, just needed 2 layers.

I've played scrambles in silly conditions (course holds them until the snow's too deep. Not until there's snow, until it's too deep) but that's not really a round of golf. Today was pretty close to as much as I can take anymore, no matter how long the winter is going to be. 5*C, and gusting winds - wind chill was supposedly 1*. Stiff, not frozen but uncomfortable, and my hands don't work all that well when it's that cold.
I'd need to check, I know I was "playing" mid-december last year and it was COLD. T-shirt, sweater, bigger sweater, and a shell over that. Long underwear a must. There is occasionally alcohol consumed during these events.

It all depends. My wife and I played Wildhorse in Gothenburg NE the other day. We teed off at 38 deg, sun and no wind. The forecast was for sunny and 55 with a light breeze. On the first hole, the sun went away and the winds picked up. We played all day in clouds (no sun), 20 mph winds, and the high temp was 40 deg. Boy were we fooled on the forcast.
My wife was not happy but we did have fun.
That is definitely still doable. Just have to keep the hands warm between shots.
Tapatalking on my iPhone!
If I can play (i.e. don't have to bundle up so much I can't swing), I'm playing. I've played a lot at or slightly below freezing. I just wear a regular glove on my left hand and a rain glove on my right. Because I walk I rarely have to worry about being cold. If really cold I'll wear a hoodie and walk with my hands in my pocket, wear ear muffs, and have a hot coffee in my awesome Contigo mug from Costco that keeps it hot until I'm done.
If you don't play golf in the winter then you don't play in Scotland mind you summer is my favourite day of the year in Scotland haha:act-up:
Its not really the cold that gets me its the cold plus the wind. When its windy and cold is when I stay home.
