Thanks everyone, I feel welcome already

About the weather in Finland. I live in southern part of Finland and temperature has been around minus 5 to +8 Celcius (23-45F) for the past mont now. It's been rather warm this year and hasn't really been snowing yet either but we've got so much rain it's not even funny

This means the real season is basically over until up to mid april or so. At my club you can still play but to green are closed so you have to play in winter greens (which means hole in fairway basically) Some folks plays even in the snow and I've been thinking of trying that at some point during this winter.

cheers
