So Today I played a quick 9 and i actually saw a few flurries.  My hands were cold and my face was frozen!

Went home and washed the clubs, season over and Im depressed.

Time to hit the gym starting tomorrow for a few months.

[MtlJeff]

yup me too, but it was over last weekend. We had good weather this week but nothing around me was open. Time to hit the range and work on the ol swing. It snowed here today....bah!

[Sean2]

I played today. Low 40s, winds 25 to 35 mph. As long as the snow stays away all is good.

Sorry to hear the snow fell on you guys.

[cardoustie]

I am just north ofToronto

Was fourteen and sunny 48 hrs ago .... It snowed quite a bit today ... Likely all done ... Except for trips south

[kvnhlstd]

Hit the range today and actually got a good sweat going... 83 degrees.  Oops sorry, our season is just getting going. Thank goodness the heat is over.

[Fade]

My bag is ready on standby, but I may have played my last round of 2012 as well. I am still hoping to get lucky with the weather one of these weekends though.

[33 Handicap]

It was cold (43*) and the wind was up a little as I practiced short game today. My season is never over! I keep the clubs by the front door just in case the weather breaks!

Jeff any good out door heated ranges in montreal?  I have to drive 1.5 hours from me to get a decent one - Start going in Feb - Our indoor golf facility closed as well this year !!!

I actually live about 3 minutes from a golf dome. Pretty convenient for me, though my wife knows that as soon as we buy a house i'm putting a full blown simulator in the basement. I'm not sure i would be super into a heated range, seems like a weird concept to me. How cold is it outside under the heat?

[driverwedge3putt]

its pretty good under the heat in the headed range

My ceilings arent high enough for a simulator although my garage is heated - Might set up a net - but im thinking a nice putting matt would suite my game better.

Man, that's ugly (if you're a golfer).

[MtlJeff]

i don't know of any in Montreal, but i'm OK with the dome. It's maybe 120yds long and a fairly high ceiling, so you can gauge trajectory pretty well. We have a pretty good high def virtual golf place not too far away aswell.

Played 36 holes today in Southern Cal started at 6 AM and out by 3 PM had some fog earlier but otherwise it cleared up...

I talked to my dad today who still lives in Michigan. He was talking about how it was 34° and how he was depressed his golf season was over. Then he asks what the weather was down here. I kinda hesitated, I hesitated and didn't want to say. It was kinda like kicking someone when their down. But he was interested, so I told him it was 75 and partly cloudy. He's retired and single, so he can come down and stay any time he wants. So I don't feel that bad.

[ladahl]

High of 37 tomorrow, but sunny and litte wind, I'm gonna fire up the heater , throw on the cover and play 18.... Gotta until snow sticks here in SE MN

[Agent Jim]

You guys make me feel like such a wuss

[Big Ben]

We had a bad day in Northern Ohio but the weather looks Like it might hold out into the early part of Dec!!!!! Thats crazy talk around these parts but it's not over until the snow and ice shut things down and we have plenty of hardy courses willing to the let the crazys ball...BB

Played today in 47* and no wind. It's been raining a lot lately and things weren't too bad. Baring too much rain or frozen ground, I can usually play most months of the year.

[mdgboxx]

My home course closed for the season on Nov 11. I played one more time on the last day of 70°F that we had 1½ weeks ago. Since then, nothing!

I'm not depressed but, I can't bring myself to thoroughly clean my 9 pairs of shoes and change the spikes on them.

I'll be going to the dome, at least twice a week, strating in Jan.

As I'm reading this, maybe, just maybe, I might be a little depressed after all.

Used to go to a heated outdoor range when I lived in Vancouver (yes not Quebec, but for around 5 degrees they are fine.I doubt heaters help when its -20 though) and as long as its not windy they are properly toasty. Think of hitting balls under those outdoor heaters they use on the terrasses at bars and restos. That seemed about the level of heat you'd get.

Up played 18 yesterday fog in the morning at 80° by the afternoon.

I'm right in the middle of Toronto and Montreal. I've accepted my season is over. Time to hit the gym and get on the ice again. Though its hard to get motivated to play hockey with no NHL on the tv.

It has since been sold to a housing promoter but, until 3 yrs ago, I went 3-4 times a week at a heated range (stalls) and at -20°C (± 0°F) you would still take your winter jacket off. A sweatshirt was enough to keep you comfortable.....Even in moderate windy conditions (15-20 mph)

It was in Varennes, on the South Shore of Montreal. It would close one month in the year, btw Dec 15 and Jan 15.

^Wow! I knew we were just West Coast softies and this is only more info to confirm it

[italianstallion]

Flew up to NY to visit family. Found out my old home course was open the day after thanksgiving, so I actually brought my clubs from Florida to play golf in NY. Completely backwards. Anyway got out for one more round at the old stomping ground, kindof sad knowing it would be closed until at least March

[Greenie]

I'll be going out today. High of 46 10mph winds. I try to keep playing all year. Yesterday was 45 with 25 mph winds. I walked my dogs 6 miles and I had planned on playing when I got back but decided a good walk was enough because of the wind. As long as it isn't windy I'll play 40 and above. Looking forward to playing today. It's been a month since I played because of a dislocated a finger.

Edit:  Now it looks like a high of 33...  Man, I'll need my flask along

[xabia]

I am actually happy the snows and cold came.. if the weather is good I can't keep myself off the course / range, but I have a few nagging injuries that need nothing more than time to get better so hopefully this helps. Also my brain is on overload with swing thoughts and things to work on and I could just use a month off
