I can relate to cold weather...the first 25 years of my life, I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee, WI and played college golf for the Univ of Wisconsin-Whitewater WarHawks! In our Wisconsin conferece schedule, we had tourney each spring in Stevens Point, WI which was about 3 hours north of MIlwaukee. As we were hitting balls on the slightly rainy day, the rain turned to snow and the fun started!
As we were called to the first tee, the host coach/pro gave us some great advice, "Please treat casual snow like casual water." At first, I thought it was a joke...on the fifth hole, a guy in our group rifles an iron over a par=-three. As I go back to help him find the ball, we see a patch of snow about the size of a area rug. In the middle, a nice round hole....he looks and me and says, "I can blast it out like a bunker, but hell if I know the ball is even in the white sh_t."
I told him, "Maybe you can hack it out like a hazard...if its the wrong ball, no penalty."
Our other playing partner finally comes over and says, "Guys, just stick your hand in there pull the ball out and see if its yours! Its 34 degrees with snow flurries....even if its not your ball, just hit it. I'm cold and want to finish this round as fast as possible!"
