For the first time in years with the weather and ground conditions as they are, not being able to play golf due to restrictions isn't bothering me.
How about you?

I'm gutted, and I hate all these people from North of the Border who keep banging on about their latest round. Just wait until the Welsh start, life will be unbearable.
Other than that everything is fine.

As far as I'm concerned, and fully acknowledging differing opinions, that is a daft question

On reflection what's to miss? I'm putting on the carpet while watching the Euro tour between being on here and GolfWRX.

To cheer you up - it's battering down rain here and has most of the week
I genuinely don't think my course would have been open for a single day in January, nor so far in Feb. The weather has been so bad that it hasn't really been out there to miss.

Nope, we've had over 6 inches of rain in Jan, course is very wet and would not be open.

Exactly the same for me Lord Tyron. We would not have been able to play on one single day in January, and no prospect of any play in February as far as I can see even without the lockdown.
Frustrating as sit is, I am not missing winter golf.

With the weather I don't think the course would've been open many days, but I would've liked to go to the range on the weekends and hit a few balls before going into the clubhouse for a drink or two.

What is there to miss?
Aside from a game at Christmas I don't play from 30 November until mid February at the earliest.

Been a couple of lovely warmish February days this week, that golf would have fitted real nice into, dream golf for Feb.
Oh well another month or so to go.

Totally agree.
I used to play in all weathers but we have been in lockdown for almost 7 weeks now and I haven't missed it. Maybe I'm getting old but the course was like a bog when we last played in the middle of December and it has rained on most days since then so I dread to think of what it is like now. However, if I was able to go and play a links course tomorrow I would probably jump at the chance.

Not at all, the guys who live near the course are saying its like a swamp.

Jan/Feb a gang of us travel around Santon/RND/Bude/St Enadoc/Trevose do I miss it, you bet.

I’m missing the choice
It’s been very wet but course has done well
More rain coming but hopefully should be ok in a month
I don’t think I will be able to play in the Easter comps in Devon which is a shame

For me it is not just about the golf it's about the banter.
There are only three reasons I do not play in winter under normal circumstances.
The course is closed (fairly rare where I play)
There is a buggy ban (but I normally at least get in the 8 holes that I can walk)
It's raining.

Im missing the range A LOT - I go 5 days a week when its open!
My course would have been closed due to snow twice and flooding for a day or two, but I still would have played every weekend it was open - so yes, whatever the weather or time of year, I miss golf!

Today is the first sign of a real thaw since before Christmas. Pity that we have an amber warning for heavy snow over the weekend.
