Golf balls roll much further when the ground is frozen. Also, it's
possible
to put balls out of saturated sand traps that are frozen. And, hitting a
frozen green can be just like hitting a paved cart path.

Lastly, when there's little wind, golf is very playable when the temp is
in
the low 30's.

Probably not losing many balls in the ponds?


The tee starter actually made that demonstration on the first hole. He
rolled a ball across the little pond!
