Is winter golf, golf?

So for us north easterners, golfers tend to fall into 2 general groups. The off season golfers who might practice, rest up from a long season or just plain ole do something else unrelated to golf. Then there are the winter golfers who don layers of clothing, set a meet up tee time that is a little later than would normally occur during the other 3 seasons of the year and tee off towards temporary tees.

Recently I was told I was crazy which I don't necessarily deny when it comes to golf, but I was also told that "winter golf is not golf".

Well to say the least I was a little put off, especially given this person can't play a round of golf without breaking at least 1 rule per 9 holes.

Real golf and golfers don't care what the temperature is, how hard the ground is or whether for 3 months the green might just be low cut fairway. What real golf is, is going out enjoying the sport play in outdoors with good friends.
