What's the coldest day you'll play?

[KDDEBOER]

I'll play any day of the year. Just have to find a babysitter first... >.<

Playing today....... low 30s with wind chill near 0

Running a tournament this Saturday too.

Forcast says a high of 30.

Played Maple Hill Last Day Dubs yesterday from sunrise to sunset. Had 42 teams I believe. Temp topped out at 23, with 30mph sustained winds and 45mph gusts. "Feels like" temp reported at 3 degrees F.

i've played just below 32deg before, but will not do that again (accept for ice bowl, since it's for charity). Being cold sucks, not being able to move sucks...one of those is sacrificed in cold weather.

I use coffee and Hand Warmers to try to stay warm. I wear mittens (with hand warmers inside). And I complain about the cold the whole time. I learn bad form from shortened run-ups and less flexibility, which translates to a bad start to the tourney season in the spring as well. That is the main reason I will not be doing that this winter.

Pretty stoked about this coming thanksgiving weekend though. Should be about 40deg, which is my self imposed limit this year. Going to try to get a few rounds in before winterizing my bag. (putting it in the closet with all my boxed discs as well)

I've played down to 5 degrees. If it's not horribly windy and blizzard conditions I will play at least down to this temp. Not much choice up here in Minneapolis area. You play in it or pack it in until Spring. Which could be mid to late May as it was last year.

During my junior year of college my buds and I went to Highbridge for Spring Break... in early March... We drove through a blizzard just to get to the complex! Needless to say, our week was very snowy and cold. But it was still amazing! We had the whole place to ourselves all week.

I doubt that I'd choose to play in those conditions on a normal basis, but we had the entire trip planned and I didn't want to bail and ruin it for the other guys in our group. I'm glad I didn't!

 

[Thumber]

I've played in snow shoes, with 3+ feet of snow on the ground, and -40 windchill.

Its not fun and I don't tend to go out to play in those conditions anymore.

 

[jtreadwell]

As long as the weather isn't so cold that the number of layers I have to wear stops me from moving, I'll play. I won't play if I can't throw or if it's snowing fast enough to cover my disc before I can get to it.

 

[breynnmike]

So I did end up going out today in 25 degree weather. Tons of layers and a few shots of blackberry brandy I felt great. My only problem was footing with the snow on the ground. I'd bet cleats or decent hiking shoes would take care of that. All in all it was tons of fun.

 

[InnocentCrook]

Played yesterday morning with a couple buds. 30 was the high for the day and we were out there before 10am so I'd venture a guess that it was in the 20's. A little bit of wind and flurries, nothing crazy.

After we hit hole 12 we see a dude coming up 11's fairway in shorts and a tshirt, using his hoodie to dab his sweat! We figured he was probably jogging the course while playing or just crazy because after he holed out 11 he just kept walking to his car.

 

[Stardoggy]

Breaking my own rule today. 12º (wind chill -5)...going for a couple morning solo rounds. I have to try out these MVP's that got here last Friday!

wind was hurting yesterday but its calm this AM. Don't be scared to THROW the amp. It wont "flip" like you expect ill be 100%

 

[VictorB]

I've played plenty of rounds in the past with the wind chill below zero, but those were all winter league rounds. I don't think I'd do a casual round if it was even close to that cold. Lately, if I had time to get out and play before dark, I'd go in just about any temperature. It hasn't been that cold here yet.

The Amp was nice...good turnover disc. Just need to get used to it. The Ion..meh. I think the Judge covers that spot in my bag, but we'll see. Didn't get to throw the Valk...too windy.

The Wedge, on the other hand, rocks. I've been searching for a disc to fill that short turnover slot, and this thing is money. I've been throwing short FH's on those shots, but might not be any more!

 

[Kenny53691]

The coldest I played was 19 degrees. It was fun, but I'm not in a hurry to do that again.

 

[McJesus]

everyday between 10-35 degrees for these next few months. They routine doesn't change just the amount of clothing

 

[Clonan]

For me, it really all depends on the wind. Ill play below zero no problem, ill just be prepared with extra layers. But the Wind can really make it miserable. So, if the wind is +15mph and below 20 degrees… ill pass.

 

[BirdieMachine]

It's 19 and 4 mph wind. Leaving in a few minutes. Can't be picky this time of the year.

 

[cacriswell2]

As long as I'm not losing discs in the snow I'll be out there

 

[simpletwist]

The Turkey Bowl is tomorrow at 8:45. Highs in the low 20s with 10-15 mph winds. And there's at least 6" of snow on the ground.

Sounds ideal.
