The definition of most European golfers could quite easily be "mad". As I said in my post above, I love golf in the conditions mentioned but why anyone would want to play golf in any other conditions than a nice warm (although not too hot) summer day is beyond me.
When you are as good at Golf as I am, then it's basically all about getting frustrated and annoyed while doing a long walk carrying a big heavy bag. In the sunshine that can be tolerated. But anyone (primarily Scandis and Brits) who would do that in pouring rain and cold damp conditions must be off their trolley.
Don't forget that a lot of golfers are willing to start their golf game at 8 am in the morning (while on holiday) just to make sure they are the first people off and no one is in front of them, play in the rain, some even play at night or in the snow (

I think golfers are a mad enough breed to play in the heat of Brazil. But we'll have to see if there are enough of them living/staying in the area to make the courses financially independent.
