Here's Tino Ramos of our station WBNS in Ohio.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're ready to play. We have got our broom. We are ready.</s>TINO RAMOS, WBNS REPORTER (voice-over): It's standard equipment on a day like this. Spikes are out. Boots are in. For some reason, these diehards never miss an opportunity to play golf.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I missed it.</s>RAMOS: Even if it's in the snow. Welcome to the Arctic Open. Thanks to Mother Nature, it is the toughest course these guys will play all year. Where the balls don't roll, and golf carts are four-wheel drives.

The biggest problem, where the heck is the ball? (voice-over): For those who managed to find not only their ball, but hole too, the cold weather may already altered their ability to keep score.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What is that six? three? is that a three? that was a birdie.</s>WATERS: Birdie.</s>ALLEN: Definitely diehards. Lots of birdy talk there.</s>WATERS: I love golf, but I don't know about that one.</s>ALLEN: Draw the line.
