i was in Hawaii in November two years ago....drove up to the observatory on Mauna Loa at night and were the only ones up there...25 degrees with big wind. I can't imagine their winter storms have much pack build up though.
I've never played real golf, only pitch and putt. I'm scared to try real golf for fear of looking like a dweeb. I even own a set of clubs I haven't used. Is it hard?
