Fall Golf Just Amazing

[platgof]

Today could not be beat for the perfect weather. It was 69* today, and the wind was clam, just the right amount of breeze. We played after work and got 12 holes in. Fall golf has always been my favorite some years, but others have been all wet. It is so nice when it is not raining every day. Plus less mowing means more golf.

Playing tomorrow and Saturday. Should be about 58* each day. Very comfortable with a jacket. I too love fall golf. 

[kozubs]

this is without a doubt my favorite time of year.  Colours in the trees, golden hue on everything, long shadows, warm but not hot days and cool evenings.  

 

The last 2 years we didn't get any fall golf where I live.  We went straight from summer to winter.  It was really weird and a huge bummer.

I have mixed feeling about fall golf. On the one hand, the weather is great and it's very colorful, on the other hand it portends the coming of winter.

Love the little bite in the breeze, wearing a sweater, taking hot chocolate in my thermos instead of iced tea, but honesty I'd rather play 18-27 after work almost every day vs. the few evenings nice enough to get in what daylight allows.  My attention turns to my dog and warmer clothing and stalking pheasants, which we love and golf just sort of fades out.  Crappy weather this weekend, a respite next week - so guessing I'll play my last rounds within the next 10 days or so.  

 

Now I'm kind of depressed about fall golf (didn't stop me from ordering a new hybrid and planning to drop one more iron, lol).

I like the cooler weather. I don't like looking for my ball in the leaves, or that the ball doesn't go as far when it cools off.

I'm in PA, but play year-round if I can.  Anything above freezing (without wind) is ok by me.  I do enjoy fall golf the most for pure atmosphere, but all of the leaves on the ground and the lower sun sure do take a toll on my ball supply.

I'm with you. Great to golf because its so pretty and the course traffic is significantly lower. The sad part is that the dread of winter is right around the corner

Yes, it's fall (autumn for our non-North American members) and the temperatures have plummeted in Arizona. The next five days will be standard AZ weather - Sunny and 102F. Sigh.

 

I miss a cool morning, crisp air, dew on the practice range and colorful leaves.

Love fall golf.  Heading to Gatlinburg Monday for a week of golf with some friends. Supposed to be mid 70's and no rain every day!

Beautiful area!

I will be close, Knoxville, but for the grand daughter's birthday.

I love the weather. The course isn't crowded, people are hunting and attending ball games.

Sadly, the leaves hide a lot of balls.

Agree. When I woke up it was 42 degrees, but I wore shorts (and a long sleeve windshirt) for my 8:30 tee time. By the time we were on the 5th hole, the windshirt was gone and it was around 60 degrees. Having the sun shining makes all the difference. And the leaves changing makes for some nice views, but also more lost golf balls when they fall from those views!

I am looking forward to winter.

Yeah man, it's dropping below 100 in a few days.

 

I may need a sweater.

Colorado has had record high temperatures all summer, leaving things pretty dry. The past few weeks of cooler weather has most courses here greener and better than they’ve been all year. 

[elwhippy]

Errrr no. Sun beating into my apartment and course closed due to heavy rainfall. I would venture to the range but they shut on Sundays....a walk into town and a beer seems like a good idea.

[QuigleyDU]

Love October golf!! 

[cardoustie]

Perfect golf weather

 

shorts or pants 

 

golf shirt or vest or sweater

 

70-78 with no humidity

 

Sept and Oct are my favorite months to play weather wise 

[dukeman]

Perfect golf day in western North Carolina....,high of 68, blue skies, dew point in the 40s. 
 

Had to put the boat in winter storage today, but the golf will be fantastic for the next 6-8 weeks.

I completely agree.  I have lost so many balls due to leaves.  I love the season, but rue the search.  A perfectly great drive down the center of the fairway can be lost because of leaves.  No greenskeeper can prevent that.  

 

Such is life, such is golf.

 

C'est la vie

I love it when the temperatures drop.  I'm a traditionalist golfer, so the coat and tie gets a little hot in the Texas summers.

Wait all year for post Labor Day golf

From the 19th hole

The greens are so smooth and fast! I love fall golf.

Our grounds crew has a giant leaf blower behind the Kubotu tractor and voila, no more leaves. They are out there every day performing leaf control.

Going tomorrow, and 82*F! Cost $16 with cart, for lots of golf. Got 12 holes in last time! Hope to shoot another 42!!

[RxGolf1]

Great until the leaves fall
