But, if the sight of snow and sleet buries your golfing spirit, don't brood. Go with the flow. Fly south, or try winter golf . Not with a little determination, creativity and spirit. Winter golf has actually been around for a while, and is played in Alaska and Scandinavia.
Courses are usually frozen lake surfaces or open areas of compacted snow.
In fact, the harder the surface, the better your roll. Soft snow isn't ideal because balls tend to plug and are harder to find as a result. Once you have the locale, all you need is some red paint to mark tees and holes, some rudimentary flags and coloured balls. A mid iron and pair of snowshoes are essential. You can map as many holes as you like.
