Good and informative video! I'll be borrowing a few of these tips as I try to extend my golf season into the cold months here in the northeast USA.

Big mug of tea with you, and biggest hack is manage your expectations, you breaking records in 3 degrees wind and rain, but you can still enjoy it!!

In the western US, we get what we call "winter roll". The dormant grass makes balls roll forever. Courses play like links and you have to account for the roll. ;)

I bring an awl with me. It’s like a screwdriver but with a point. I use it set tees into the frozen tundra.

The best balls I have found for showing up in fall grass/leaves are the Titleist Velocity matte green balls. They almost glow it seems, and I can spot long before other colors. Just personal experience, but worth a try!

Bro...I'm taking my cart bag and push cart. The umbrella holder is essential, as is the big cart bag to pack extra layers, a thermos of hot coffee,

Nice tips. I live in Colorado and it’s possible to play year round. A lot of cold rounds but still fun.

A few more tips.
A turtle neck is great for keeping warm.
Wear a therma care heat wrap on you lower back, it warms your core.
Winter golf gloves with hand warmers worn across the back of your hand where it won’t impede your swing.
Polar fleece socks.
Flannel lined pants.

With thees tips I have played every year until it gets down to close to 0° Celsius.
It helps to find a course that is protected from the wind.

Useful video, It gets cold in Western North Carolina and I'll be sure to use these tips. One I would add is that under my waterproof pants, I will wear a pair of running pants because they are tighter fitting and warmer.

Good pair of waterproof golf shoes without any holes in the soles!

[slicerjohn]

I use seamless thermals for under the trousers when it gets below 10c they work brilliantly.

[KasualGolf]

get a yellow ball when yellow and orange leaves fall from trees. noted.

[puttputt]

I’m from California. I can get frostbite from a drop of rain.

[gregormckinney]

Those hand warmers are a game changer lol

[perryaudnat]

A warm toque is a must. Worn over baseball cap

[billmalec]

Southern USA is a bit different. Our Bermuda greens go dormant and tend to be faster. Softer balls feel so much better off irons than harder balls especially with our humidity and colder air together. More club into greens, yes.
Knit cap but I still use a ball cap or visor over it to cut sun glare especially with the sun lower in the sky all day..
Two gloves isn't a bad idea to keep hands warm.

[Powder]

If your ego is t too big a push caddy is essential in the winter. I don’t have three hands so the push caddy holds my umbrella to keep at least something dry. Here in the PNW playing in rain in the winter is a given, I’d throw in there waterproof shoes too. Nothing worst than wet feet playing in the rain.

[jonnygriffiths]

My best winter hack is, I don’t play during the winter 😂

And I thought I loved Ping. I was waiting on him to show his Ping undies

How are these "hacks?" A "hack" is bringing a pair of rubber gardening gloves in case it gets really wet. Swinging with your grip wrapped in a towel when everything is soaked. Or telling your playing partners to stand behind you because that's the only place the club won't hit them if it flies out of your hands. Or keeping an extra gloves and towel inside plastic bags. Or carrying a giant trash bag to cover your clubs or yourself if you don't have rain gear. Or covering your scorecard with a something so it doesn't get wet. Or covering your hat with a plastic bag in light rain. Or carrying a stiff bristled brush in your car so you can clean your shoes ...
