Well, we’re into my favorite part of the year – autumn.\u00a0 You can have the spring and summer.\u00a0 Being a native New Englander, I live for the cooler temperatures, crisp night air, the changing of the leaves, breaking out the jackets and sweaters.\u00a0 This is the weather I wait all summer for.\u00a0 So not surprisingly, it’s also my favorite season for golf.\u00a0 Besides the cooler temperatures and no humidity, making your round of golf much more comfortable, it’s the changing of the leaves that can help make your favorite course even prettier, or bring an ordinarily dull course much more to life.\u00a0 But what about you?\u00a0 What’s your favorite golf season?<\/p>\n

Is it spring?\u00a0 I can understand why may golfers are fans of the spring time.\u00a0 The spring usually means the beginning of the golf season.\u00a0 A fresh, new start.\u00a0 The winter chill is gone, temps are rising.\u00a0\u00a0Trees and flowers are blooming and the courses are drying out.\u00a0 It’s a chance to get a good bunch of golf in until the real\u00a0summer heat and humidity kick in.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s the summer?\u00a0 The summer is probably the time of year when you have the most consistent\u00a0good weather.\u00a0 Some of us can’t think of a better way to beat the summer heat than to head out for a ride in the old golf cart, grab a couple of beers from the\u00a0Mofobete<\/a>,\u00a0and hope to whack your ball into a shady spot.\u00a0 Just, no one writing this post.\u00a0 But others…sure.\u00a0 But mid-summer golf, for me,\u00a0can be summed up in five simple words once uttered\u00a0by Stinky Golfer Pete after a missed putt – “It’s too hot to miss.”<\/p>\n

For me it’s the fall.\u00a0\u00a0For all of the reasons mentioned above, and then some, the fall is\u00a0far and away my favorite time of year for golf.\u00a0 Really, who wants to sweat in places where you can’t\u00a0quite get\u00a0your towel to\u00a0while in a public place?\u00a0 Who wants to play golf when you feel like you just stepped out of a hot shower\u00a0each time you walk to your ball?\u00a0 I’d rather wait out the heat\u00a0in order to play a little more golf in weather like this!\u00a0 Hey, it’s fall\u00a0in New England.\u00a0 There’s a reason people travel here at this time of year.<\/p>\n

Maybe you enjoy the winter for golf.\u00a0 Wait…what?\u00a0 OK, so no one (or very few anyway) are out playing golf in the snow.\u00a0 But for many golfers who live in the northern portion of the country, maybe the winter means traveling south to play golf.\u00a0 Maybe you have a\u00a0second home or a timeshare.\u00a0 Maybe the winter is simply time for your yearly big golf trip.\u00a0 If you live in the south, then maybe you’re waiting for the cooler winter temperatures to play more often.\u00a0 Whatever the reason, maybe the winter’s your time.<\/p>\n

No matter your choice or your favorite season, to each their own.\u00a0 Whatever gets you out on the course is\u00a0good reason enough.\u00a0 Whether you prefer the heat or the cooler weather.\u00a0 Be it the lush green of mid-summer or the vibrant colors of the fall.\u00a0 Hell, maybe your out there in the\u00a0freezing\u00a0mid-winter temperatures.\u00a0 Whatever it is that gets you out there, enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Swing ’til you’re happy! And take the poll below!<\/p>\n
