Bloomin' windy today...

[Imurg]

Jeez H Christ is was blowy today. Had the usual round today with Fragger and for the front 9 the wind was strong but steady. An imperious Imurg strode to 19 points (+3) with some scintillating shots. Fragger stumbled to 12 but wasn't doing too badly in the breeze.

Got to the 10th and it seems the cyclone that didn't really hit Cairns arrived in Aylesbury. All of a sudden the wind speed seemed to double. And it was gusting, made life really tricky. It became a case of survival for the back 9. Only scored 13 back and Fragger staggered to 8. But to be honest both scores were respectable in that hurricane. 82 shots and 32 points felt like 72 and 42 in those conditions.

Anyone else play in a hurricane today?

better man than me imurg, decided on the gym rather than the golf course with the wind howling, 32 points a hell of a score in todays weather round here

I played at whittlebury hall (northants) on Wednesday and it was blowing a gale. Staggered in with 29 points but like you say could have easily knocked off 7-10 shots due to the ball trying to come back at u off the tee!! Good shooting for u tho imurg, well played.

 

[fundy]

whats whittlebury like Bluenose? (its only 15-20 mins or so from me)

 

[Imurg]

I played there yonks ago before the huge buildings went up - clubhouse was a portakabin! Seemed ok form what I remember.

it was blowing a hooley here in St' evenage

got my 1st ever proper round tomorrow with viscount, hope the wind dies down a lot and thankfully the forecast is little to no rain (thank god)

cant wait haha

Whittlebury is really good, so much so I am thinking of joining there when my current membership is up. The clubhouse is huge and really plush to be fair, has two tier range. I have to point out the greens are immense, so soft (literally like carpet) and the sand in the bunkers are top quality. There are 3 loops of 9 and all the holes are decent but what stcks out are the 2 par 3's on the red course over water and awesome. Monday - Wednesday you can play all day for £15 ... Can't recommend it enough fundy defo worth a go if ur 15-20mins away. I'm 30mins away and prepared to become a member and my course is a decent enogh track but this place hammered it for me IMO

Gets a bit noisy when there's a meeting on at Silverstone.

 

[fundy]

you fancy a knock round there sometime soon bluenose?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Got a stableford tomorrow. The swing feels rubbish and I'm not looking forward to it. Still the worse that can happen is I come last and get 0.1 back. Plenty of worse things to worry about

 

[Region3]

Not today but playing in a yellowball comp tomorrow and the forecast is for lots of wind and rain. Can't wait.

 

[bluenose10]

Fundy - yeah can do buddy we can sort something out, i'd defo be interested in playing there again.

Imurg - that's true and they were testing some cars at the race track and when you play one set of 9 (called the Grand prix course funnily enough) it's really only noticeable. I'm not too fussed cos my track is next to a man road running thru Northampton and that's worse lol

 

[Whereditgo]

Gusting at 65mph here at the moment, the wind is forecast to drop for our 10:04 tee time in the Monthly Medal

Unfortunately the rain is set to be biblical from about 11:00

 

[viscount17]

Gusting 64 round here too.

Fortunately it looks to be moderating a little for our round, though the forecast wind is different on each weather site.

Got to the 10th and all of a sudden the wind speed seemed to double.

Hope you didn't use your iphone to determine that.....
