Another weekend, another rain-off

[ChrisB0210]

Following the wet weather this week and the horrendous forecast for the weekend, my club has taken the decision to postpone tomorrow's comp, anticipating a number of no shows and late withdrawals.

I can't say I blame the club, certainly the last comp we played must have lost almost a third of the entry due to the weather, but it's so frustrating at present, seems that we play a week and then lose 3 to the weather at present :angry:

Is anyone else similarly affected or are you all doing better with the weather?

We're doing ok weather wise apart from the winds. Shame I've been tied up last weekend and this. Not seen the course for nearly a month. Not seen the range for three weeks. Back to it on Monday.

I know. Thing is I've not missed it as much as I thought. Been full on at work, evenings out, Misplaced and weekend in London last week and seeing relatives this. Might get to the club Sunday PM at a push.

I've made it to the range in between, but work and other commitments have meant it's been weekends only, rather than a midweek one too. Hoping that changes after next week, I could do with the extra practice especially if we continue to lose comps at the rate we have over the last six weeks or so.

Luckily I am away tonight and tomorrow so will not be getting wet on the course again. We have a WInter lague away match on Sunday though and that has already been postponed once due to the weather so that must be in doubt again.

It's rude to gloat but tomorrow looks ok in East Lothian



:whoo:

Same good outlook here. It'll be the first time in 4 weeks that it's been playable at the weekend.

Gloat away, I'd do the same if it was the other way around!

Looks like the whole of the south of England going to be covered in rain tomorrow

Is your course still open tomorrow? If it is get the waterproofs on and get playing. It's only water.

and up here, mind you i would not think we would be playing if i was a member at a parkland course.

Fair comment. I would normally do exactly that. I like the challenge of the wet apart from when it gets on my glasses. That's not so good!

Looking good here so will be playing Saturday & Sunday.

I've tried to do the 'right thing' for my last 2 winter league matches and played on when everyone else has been walking off in deference to partner / other pair. Have ended up wet, miserable and ill for most of the next week after being drowned. So wet and cold impossible to hold clubs, with decent weather protection!!

So this weekend, have ditched being honourable but miserable for practical and dry. Took a lot of soul-searching as my partner still keen despite the ridiculous radar pictures.

I try to be pretty old school with regards to competition day commitments but enough is enough.

Don't recall the same 'esprit de corps' on the Sunday in Aberdovey???

It's the mud I'm more worried about! Seems to get everywhere and hitting good clean shots from wet muddy grass is not easy!

Quite right, beat birchy 5&4 and no point continuing as he had lost the will to live

It happens every year, it's better than not playing at all, man up

Weather for East Renfrewshire is looking good for tomorrow.
Hopefully should be good for the Turkey Trot and my first game for 7 weeks.
