Cold Weather Golf

photo credit: Claus Rebler Here are some tips for playing in adverse conditions: 1) Dress Properly > wear layers; perhaps a light pair of long underwear, turtleneck sweater, windbreaker/rain gear. Dress for freedom of movement. 2) Change Balls > use a ball with a much softer cover and lower compression (90), preferably a two piece ball. Warm your golf balls in your pocket between holes. 3) Alter Your Swing > hard ground will create topped shots. Try incorporating a flatter swing and play the ball more forward at address.
Harder ground means more roll, you may want to hit higher shots (play the ball forward). Putting can be a problem since courses usually don't cut the grass as close in colder weather. Maintain warm hands for better feel.
