The Good and Bad of Winter

Usually, a few of my hardcore golfer friends and I make it out three or four times during the winter months, but this isn't enough. And, when we do play, the conditions are less than ideal (i.e. rock-hard bunkers and furry greens with concrete-like subsurfaces). But, I have mixed emotions about golf in the winter.

On the one hand, not being able to play because of bad weather is a huge negative. On the other hand, not being able to play really gets me fired up to play as often as possible when everything thaws out. Would I rather have warm weather year round and take it for granted? Or would I miss the anticipation of spring? I honestly don't know, and it doesn't really matter. Moving to Florida or Arizona isn't in the plans. I'll just have to sit here and wait until April.
