Do cold temperatures affect your golf clubs?
Dec 16, 2021 · Pure temperature? There’s almost no lower limit. I’d say about 30 degrees. But that’s on a mild day. If there’s wind or rain that number creeps higher very fast. we’ve entered sicko season at the...
Is 40 degrees too cold to play golf in Connecticut?
It's hard to find a white golf ball in the snow Some golfers make a distinction between when it’s too cold to play golf and when it’s too cold to play well. Resolute players can be found on the green even if it’s below 45 degrees and raining, but the weather conditions can take a toll on your performance. First and foremost, consider your safety.
Should I warm up my clubs to 37 degrees?
Jan 16, 2018 · It is definitely recommended to store balls away from freezing or excessive high temperatures. Unless you play in sub-freezing weather, why not keep the clubs inside? The grips won't be as hard while warming to 37 degrees and the clubs will flex better. Not that you'd hit the mat fat, but more flex won't transmit as much shock to your arm joints.
What is the right temperature to wear for golf?
Apr 15, 2021 · The funny thing about cold weather is that 7 degrees on separate days could result in me golfing on one day and staying home drinking coffee another. There are no set rules, but for me I have some guidelines I follow when it is cold. First, it appears that most people do not put their clubs away at all.
Pick Your Battles
There is such a thing as Too Cold To Play, but sometimes you need to experience that before you actually understand what that means.
A Little Story
The night before the round the temperatures dropped into the teens and we had an early morning tee time because it was a GolfNow Hot Deal. A few things were pretty obvious to me preparing for that round.
Wet and Cold Conditions
If you decide to go play golf on a day that you know is going to be raining and the temperature is around 35 – 45 degrees, you might be the type of person that would enjoy the frozen course.
Just Wet Condition
Wet conditions can be okay sometimes, I say okay because if you were playing in Hawaii and it started pouring down rain, you probably wouldn’t care that much. It’s definitely relative to the location you are playing.
Just Wind
This can be as frustrating as really cold temps or be pouring down rain. I say this because you may think you figured out how the wind will affect your ball after hitting it. But you come to find out when the ball ends up 30 yards off target, you underestimated the wind.
Snow
I have never played golf in the snow, mostly because when it snows here we like to go out and enjoy it by doing other activities. Sledding, snowmen, walking around, things like that. I don’t think I have even thought about playing in the snow but I know some people have.
Just Remember
Dress for the occasion, don’t assume that the weatherman knows everything. If you don’t dress for the occasion than at least prepare for the occasion by stuffing your golf bag with the essentials.

For me, probably somewhere around 40F. If the course is Augusta, the temp is not a factor. The only factor would be am I breathing.

I live near Boston and I'm trying to play all winter here. I've not been out in a few weeks since there's so much snow on the ground. A ball might lose some pop but I don't believe even a nice forged club with lose it's shape or pop in the cold... As for how cold can you play in.. Well as long as your still having fun it don't matter.

I've played with the clubs in my sig in 25 degree weather.....it was only that cold for about an hour....sun came out and the cold front moved out, was a nice 50 degrees by the afternoon.....clubs played fine....standard loss in distance and anything hit off center could be felt immediately.....buddy invited me to a nice private course, wasn't going to pass up the opportunity.....
The Recreational Golfer
I was at the range this morning at 28 degrees. Every ten minutes or so I went in to the pro shop to warm up, and finally parked my bag in there, too. The grips were getting too cold.

I love golf and i love my clubs but im nervous about playing in 30 degree and below weather. Is there any way i could lose pop off my club or the shaft becomes too brittle and snaps off? Also when is it too cold to play and you just seem ridiculous.
