In my earlier years, I definitely would hit the links while the temperatures hovered around 0° C or 32°F.

The Last Quarter of the 2016 Golf Season
The seasons change very quickly once September arrives. It feels like just last week we were suffering through a heat wave. Now, it is below 10 degrees Celsius in the morning. Although refreshing, it is an eye opener for many golfers.
