When we teed off, it was about 37* with a windchill of 25*. I layered up with underarmor, some Thermotec, ski socks, a beanie, and my wind/rain jacket. To top it off, I kept one of my ski gloves handy to wear in between shots. After 9 holes, I gave up. Maybe I need to invest in some better cold weather gear for days like Monday, but by the time I putted out on 9, I could no longer feel my hands, which made having any feel impossible. By the end of the day, we had freezing rain coating my car.
Weird weather didn't stop with the cold temperatures, though. After the freezing rain thawed, fog set in. I felt like I was living in San Francisco as the fog didn't lift for two straight days. I still managed to get in a round yesterday (sadly finished with two triple bogeys to shoot an 89). It was kind of eerie playing when wedge shots slowly disappeared into the clouds only to fall out a few seconds later. When the fog finally lifted (and temperatures rose into the 70s) today I made it out to shoot an 85 (finished double-double...maybe I need to work on closing out my rounds?).
Does anybody have any good stories about playing inclement weather?
