The coldest temp I teed up in was 23f, which didn't feel all that bad with a few fleece layers on. Fortunately the sun was out and there was virtually no wind, which is the major factor as far as being comfortable in the cold goes. 20f with no wind feels like a spring day compared to 45f with 20mph gusts.
Since the grass is a nice dormant brown in color, and I like buying shiny new golf balls, I got a couple dozen Srixon Q Stars in a relaxing tour yellow shade. I made sure to hit plenty of shots into the rough in order to test the contrast and visibility of the ball. I can honestly say that the yellow ball has become a must for me during the fall/winter seasons, primarily due to how easy they are to spot against the dull colors. The winter conditions obviously decreased the playability of the ball significantly enough to where a fair review cannot be made at this time.
All things considered, it was an excellent month of golf. Stay tuned here for more musings, reviews, and ramblings as we roll along through 2012!
