This is a beautiful aerial view of the golf course in Niagara along the Niagara River located at the Whirlpool Rapids. What a beautiful view. No worries there about the water engulfing the golfers. What caught my attention is their advertisement that they have an all-year plan. Does the course have snow golf? Seems like the advertisement vs reality differ - it is open April 1 to October 30th on its website, rather than "golf in all the seasons".
Winter golf is an official sport. The tips for winter golf include spending more time warming up. Winter golf rules include allowing you to lift, clean and place your ball. There can be so much mud on a golf ball that it would be difficult to play. When it is cold or raining, the ball just isn't going to go as far. The air is heavier when it is cold, so the advice is to take the club that's needed.
Southwestern British Columbia claims to be the only region in Canada that offers year-round golf. But it isn't winter golf there - not Victoria or Vancouver. I find that Hamilton Ontario offers winter golf at Cherokee on the Martin Course. There can't be any large accumulations of snow or rain and no freezing rain or icy conditions. It wouldn't be snow golf today, but I wonder if people will be out there golfing.
Their tips - winter mitts or pocket warmers, carry your bag, keep a ball in your pocket, winter golf gloves, waterproofs, don't layer too much, wear spikes, and so on. What about changing your expectations? That's an obvious one.
