Golf weather

Here in Texas it is in the middle of what I consider my golf off season. It is so dang hot down here it is too much to be outside for 4+ hours.
I prefer mid to upper 60's and low 70's. A drizzle is fine too. I don't mind wind either.
What do you prefer?

IMO, mid 70s to low 80s is ideal. I don't mind playing in the cold as long as it's sunny and dry, and I don't mind playing in the rain as long as it's warm. Wind doesn't bother me unless it's steady gale-force type winds. I'm not a good enough golfer for wind to really affect my game.

Meh. I'll play in pretty much anything.
Although the one thing I guess I don't like to play in is dark. You know when you go out with that one or 2 guys and they are intent to squeeze every last ounce of golf out of the 17.50 twilight rate they paid.

Dude! It's 10:30. Let it go.

I like it hot.  I hate playing in cold weather, I have been watching the British Open thinking, why do they even bother going out in that weather.  |

Whatever the weather is when I reach the course, that's the weather I like to play in. I really don't care. I've been known to race out to the links-style course when it's especially windy, just for the "links" experience.
Except dark, of course, but I don't consider it "playing golf" when it's dark.

ORLY?  You're the only crazy bastage I've met who is goofy enough to hang with me in weather fit only for fish. Hardened the *fudge* way up for sure. Except dark, of course, but I don't consider it "playing golf" when it's dark.
Played the last two holes at Pacific Dunes in the very nearly fully dark. Played the last 3-4 holes at Lahinch in absolute, west coast of Ireland, million miles from a city, way out in the country, pitch *goshdarn* black. |
