Our place on Saturday, looking positively green compared to some, it will have changed a little since though Id guess.

I shot a 67 [-2] in a mid week medal in those conditions in 1976.
Clubs in my wee carry bag were [no woods] 2,4,6,8,9,w,si and putter.
I just clung on to the fringe of the uphill 500 yard par 5 with 2 iron x 6 iron.
Half an ounce less and it would have ran back to my feet

I'd say the scoring will likely be low as the wind just isn't there at all. I'm not sure what the rough in like around the glashedy. I haven't been around it in a while.

greens are looking super lush at my course, they hand water them daily.
Fairways are dry as they come

Had sprinklers on greens and tee's the last week
They are bronze, a gift to the club from the artist i think

Unfortunately my place has Bermuda fairways, so even in the hot dry weather you still do not see the ball running for miles....

Played Celtic Manor 2010 yesterday, and Montgomery today. Very fiery. Hard to hold the fairways, and the deep stuff is punishing.
On the Montgomery, I went through the back of a 340 yard par 4 by about 30 yards. Rock hard fairways, and downhill. Nice bogey.

A barren wasteland tee to green at my place with deep penal rough starting to make it very tight in places. Greens still very green and watered daily and putting like a dream. Some very fiery bounces and I've regressed to my junior days at Wimbledon Common and back to playing pitch and runs from 70-100 yards with some aplomb. Getting a few weird looks from PP's pulling mid irons out but once they see the results funny how a few a then trying the same thing later in the round.
Dear oh dear. Noone likes overtime at that course!😁

Some great photos. we can look at them again when the courses are back under water and a mucky swamp.
We spiked and sanded our greens last week. With no rain to wash them they have been rubbish to putt on. No idea why they did it. haven't played our course in a little while so hope its improved since the last day.

I’ve not been down littlestone for a few weeks but can only imagine it’s burnt to a crisp and will be like driving down a runway.
Played a course Sunday in an open which is a hill top course, soaked in the winter, but their irrigation system is broke so it’s currently playing like a hilly links. Chap who I played with, who won by 10shots, putted from 140 yards away from the flag on some holes!!!

Greens and fairways are okay as they have sprinklers. Our clay course is still greenish. Our sand based course is dead. Almost white.

Played Windlesham today - really warm/hot with a wind into the bargain - fairways scorched dry as a bone and yellow. I found it really hard - club sole bouncing off rock hard fairways. Ball rocketing all over the place if off line but running absolutely miles as there is nothing on the fairways to stop it.. Nothing the club can do. But greens were fine - still enjoyed my day. Seems a nice club. But boy. Hope the fairways can recover at least fairly quickly.

I likened it to playing on ice today. I was clubbing down by about 3 clubs with some shots. Crazy
