Five to six years ago when I bought my irons I was having a hard time adjusting to the new wedges. I ended up using my old PW and SW for a year but in year two because the faces of my PW and SW from my old set o MP-14s were worn off I switched to using the new ones. I never have been able to adjust and it's killed my short game. So now I've ordered a new SW. I'm reverting back to my youth when I was a Hogan guy. Hogan has been down since then but I think they've made a small comeback. I ordered one of the new Equalizer SWs with 56* loft. I can't wait to get it. I also sent them a message asking if I could order just the PW that comes with the set of ICON irons. Back in the day that was the original Equalizer. When I was young I could do a lot with my Equalizer. It was a great utility club. I never needed a third wedge. That just seemed silly to me. I tried the three wedge thing and just ended up with three wedges I couldn't use. Hopefully I can get the PW from the ICONs and it will be like the old Equalizer. Then maybe I can get my short game back. I loved those old Hogan Apex irons from back in the day. The persimmon headed woods were awesome too. And beautiful!

Does anyone have any tips for golfing in 35-55 degree temps? Currently I just don't do it, but I've becoming somewhat of a golf nut again and I'd like to get out. I saw some carts out at the National Golf Club in Parkville when I drove by this weekend and I was thinking about how nuts they must be to golf in 35 degrees.
But it got me to thinking. If one was able to have a cart with an enclosed heated interior, not have to play cart path only, have a jacket and winter golf glovers perhaps it would be doable. What things are must haves for cold golf? I've heard of "winter golf gloves" but never used them myself. |

I never was much of a cold weather player but I know they make a portable heater which works in an enclosed golf cart.

$35 an hour for a pay not really worth it but I hear the bays are kind of heated so I might have to try that. I've been go Top Golf once and it was summer. I have a golf simulator in my house so not much value for me. I'd like to get on an actual course.

Winter golf is a lot of fun because of light crowds and you can speed golf. Also ignore your score low rounds are rare.

That's a crazy variable you're asking.
I can golf in shorts when it's 55 and sunny. I need a winter parka and gloves when it's 35 and cloudy. If it's 35 when you start and warms to 55, stop making tee times so early. Under a certain temperature, golf is a waste.

When I lived up north I could play with temps in the 42 to 46 degree range if there was no wind. The wind is the big killer, my eyes would water and I couldn't see the ball clearly enough to make good contact. It's a calm day and 45 degrees, get a pair of Weather Soft gloves by Footjoy for about $20 and they really help. I didn't think I could golf with gloves on both hands, but I found it was no problem and I even use an interlocking grip. Now I'm spoiled, I golfed last Saturday and it was 70 degrees and I wore a long sleeve Under Armor top under my golf shirt. I shot really a good round, 2 birdies, 3 pars and 4 bogies for a 38. Couldn't play a back nine, it got too dark.

I've been considering gearing up for playing in "less than ideal" conditions. I would have never considered playing when it's too cold to wear shorts, but I was asked to play in Minor Park's Fall Fun scramble and the temps were in the 30's. I had a lot of fun and got me to thinking that if I had the right gear, I could easily golf when the temps are in the mid to upper 40's. I put a few things on my Christmas list.
