#snowgolf is real, but here are warmer places to dream about
Covered in snow? Worried about firewood running low or the pipes bursting? You’re not alone. Much of the country is in the grasp of the most recent snowmegaddon, and our hearts go out to those severely impacted.
But just like throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many are looking to golf as an escape from their current snowy, miserable conditions. A brisk walk and a few photos of golf courses blanketed in snow – or even a few swings, with orange balls preferably – might be in order. Check out some of the photos making the rounds on Twitter and beyond, then take a peek at the bottom of this story for some dreamy photos of warmer days in tropical locales.
First, the snow. These first two are from Arizona. Really, Arizona.

Twitter also offered up a world of cold. From Texas to the United Kingdom, it seems to be cold everywhere.

Things are equally bad in much of the United Kingdom, especially Scotland, as judged by these next two:

If all this fresh snow has you dreaming of somewhere warm, check out Golfweek’s Best list of top courses in Mexico, the Caribbean, the Atlantic islands and Central America for 2021. To get those golf juices flowing, here are a few photos from that list:
