The winter weather in Indiana is much milder than when I lived in Michigan; the courses in the central to southern part of the state don't even shut down completely for the winter. If I'm ever lucky enough to get a 40 degree day on a weekend during winter months, I'm golfing for sure! Our greens have the opposite problem, though; they leave them shaggy and bumpy through the winter. No matter how good you are tee to green, it can easily take you 3 or 4 putts to close the deal. The last time I played, I had an easy little 5 foot, right-to-left putt for birdie. The green was so bumpy, I don't think it was possible to make the putt! I tried the putt probably 20+ times - different lines, speeds, etc... and the ball just bounced away from the hole every time.
But come on...golf...in February...without having to fly somewhere warm? What northerner can complain about that!
The temperature did not get to me that bad as long as the sun was out. When the clouds would come in and block out the sun, it got very cold. Wind plus cold plus clouds was a bit miserable, but I am a wimp when it comes to cold weather golf!
