the weather didn't faze these fans either

50 degrees in Wisconsin?
"Yeah right, some smart announcer said it best, it was 25F in the morning and 25F in the afternoon.....so it was 50F all day. Well, the weather never made it above 24F.....and that was after I had left the course, and it was very very windy....it was expected to have an over nite low of 12F," photographer Victah Sailer.
