We played an early round this winter one weekend. At the first tee it was 39* and windy. Frozen fingers made for a very difficult first few holes.
Let me know next time you're in soCal and I'll steer you to some very nice local courses. I think this has got to be public golf heaven here. Lots of nice courses competing with each other.
Played a Payne Stewart design yesterday for $35! All 18 and GPS to boot.
