Bloody rain!!!!!

[Smiffy]

It's absolutely throwing it down here this morning. Usually, it's the seagulls that wake me up early but it's the sound of the rain cascading out of the gutters that's doing it today....
It's also as black as your hat, and looks like it's proper set in.
Volvo 4BB knockout this afternoon. Was originally booked for yesterday (it was lovely and sunny too) but the boss asked me to change the day a week or so ago as he had a meeting to attend.
Bugger. Don't fancy it one bit.
Can't change the date as it has to be played by 4th July and my partner is on holiday from Saturday onwards...

The forecast for the next 5 days looks bad! It's supposed to be the regional qualifying on Monday too! Let's hope it s only light with sunny intervals! Stupid weather!

Had to cancel a few rounds recently cause of the rain. It's really getting on my nerves now.

Managed to get a round in yesterday though in the sun.

Well pee'd off!! Travelled all the way down to Wiltshire this morning for my FedEx challenge game at Castle Coomb.......(top 4 qualify for the UK/Ireland final at Birkdale, then winner at Birkdale goes on to play in the Global final at Pebble Beach...)....hoping there's fewer bandits than in the trilby Tour, Volvo & HDID competitions but somehow doubt it.....even tried to get my handicap down yesterday but only succeeded in a 0.1 increase thanks to a double, treble & quadruple to finish just outside the buffer..........

This going to be my 15th round today out of my record breaking 18 and a half rounds in 16 day tour!!......Wildwood tomorrow in the Virgineers Charity day....looking forward to that as on my itinery it says......."10:00 am meet the Virgin girls by the putting green"!!!.... :thup:...... gotta love Richard Branson....he really knows how to look after his guests......:whoo:

I would rather be playing golf in the rain than working in it!!!!

Have to admit its looking absolutely pants for the next few days, sort of glad I am injured and no golf planned.

This afternoon looks ok, so might get a sneaky thirteen in.

Its our Ping 4 BB qualifier today, I am playing at 10, I am currently looking hopefully out of the window and hoping the rain stays off as I know some of my partners this morning will cry off if it starts chucking it down.
So far so good.

It's not raining here at the moment but it's already planning on moving in ready for our match tonight so conditions are similar to those we played in last Thursday evening just with a little less wind!

 

[Imurg]

Well, seems most of my clients are taking one look at the weather and throwing a sickie...
If it stops raining I may go out for a paddle..

Doesn't East Sussex get pretty good weather, occasional downpour can't be bad, try living in tropical Scotland where it can rain even on a dry forecast day

Normally.
But this isn't a normal June

:angry:

I'm going to be working in it!

 

[DannyOT]

It's not too bad here, a bit damp but nothing more. I'm chickening out though and heading down to the driving range instead of playing a round.

 

[pbrown7582]

chucking it down again here and course closed again arrrgh!!

 

[DavePhoenix]

Not looking forward to playing the links tomorrow if the rain keeps coming in sideways!

We got away with it yesterday afternoon. Got to the course about 3.00pm, the rain threatened but held off until about 10 minutes before we were due on the tee. Waterproofs on, played the first tee shot in steady drizzle but by the time we went to putt out it had stopped. Sun then came out and it was bloody boiling!
Wind dropped completely and it was off with the waterproofs and sweaters, shirt sleeve order. Stayed like this up until the 14th or 15th hole and then the wind got up again.
Shook hands on the 18th, clubs in the car, wandered into the bar for a drink and it proceeded to hose it down.
We struck lucky

But what was the score
