Sometime you need to come up to KS and we can play some chilly golf!!! If temp is about 40 and minimal wind its good to go. Smarter play would be for me to come south for a weekend though.
Teeing it Up in the Cold

Big Time doesn't mess with that noise...
It's a thing. You know it's cold when you try to fix a pitch mark and it's like sticking a fork in a frozen turkey.
Sounds miserable! I leave all the cold playing golf to Cookie down here. But I hear ya, it's the wind that can be brutal.

Sometimes the ground is so hard and dry even in the summer, especially during extended dry periods that it becomes difficult to get a tee in the ground. But as MPlefty previous stated, carry a hammer in your bag, or possibly a battery operated drill and bit

I like to play the forward tee through the winter. I allows me to keep good form without trying to push my clubs to go further than they should in the freezing cold with many layers of clothes on. If I can't tee it up I just play the 2i or 3 wood off the deck.
@JohnSinVA and I played forward tees and it was more fun, we didn't use a tee of most of the holes. You also want to be close enough to the greens on your approach to play full wedges in since, once the greens freeze, you'll need to come in with a lot of spin.

It’s easier to roll it up on the frozen ones but it’s way more fun to hit the high hopping spinner

Yeah, it was tough today... Was only able to play 9 holes because of work (damn) and it was a frigid 65 degrees out.... I thought I was going to have to put on a long sleeve.... but I didn't :bananadance:
It's a North East thing. Grass is dormant so you don't really hurt it too much. It's really the permafrost that gets the ball bouncing later in the winter.
I hold ball in palm of hand. Put wooden tee between middle and fore finger. Press tee against ball as if setting on tee. Close the fist and push tee into ground using the ball as a back stop.

Ahh ok. See I'd be afraid frozen ground would just wreck that piece of turf if you could even take a divot, and how much is that gonna hurt when you literally break the ground lol

The muni courses here close when it gets close to freezing. November 1 is the end of season unless it stays warm.
