Fish - how is your course likely to cope with forecasted weather leading up to jan 4th?

I'm not sure anyone could answer that question for any course in the country. I played on Friday after a torrent of rain the day and night before and we were still fully open with no temp greens :thup:

I'm playing tomorrow morning so I'll have a bit better indication after the constant deluge of rain we've had all day here so.....I'll keep you all informed.

The work we've done over the last 2yrs with drainage ditches across and to the sides of fairways and new drainage systems to our greens is really showing its worth.

I shall monitor the course daily this week in relation to this meet on Saturday 4th due to the impending rainy conditions. I played both Saturday & Sunday on a full course with no temps so we are still in very good shape but the weather forecast does declare a continual daily amount of rain of varying amounts all week and with the water tables so high, an accumulation could build up but at present we have no standing water on any of the course other than the odd bunker.

I will update daily.

Cheers looking forward to it. Let's hope it's doesn't blast it down with to much of the wet stuff this week.

How are we looking for Saturday then Fish? It's actually a glorious sunny day today down our way today (was always going to be, wasn't it, for the return to work day :angry but pretty soggy underfoot and tomorrow looks wet as well. Your course website says all is well though.

And assuming that the game goes ahead, what time are we playing?

Played 10 holes this morning, as you say, in glorious sunshine.

No temporary greens, fairways running very well, no standing water seen on any of them, greens were understandably soft but received the ball well and ran true, again no puddles anywhere. A little soggy further away from the 1st cuts and some small puddles amongst the tree's but if your that far wide, tough tittie :smirk:

Looking down the 1st


2nd shot approach on the 1st


3rd Green


5th 2nd shot approach


5th Looking back at the tee after drive


6th Green


8th 3rd approach shot


9th 2nd shot approach


Considering all the rain we have had, I was amazing and very pleased how firm it felt under foot, they were moving us around on the tee blocks today as they were all being cored.

In an earlier thread I said 10am for Saturday, the bar is open from 9am so I will be there from then for a breakie & coffee.

Conflicting reports and forecasts for Saturday but personally it all looks good to go :thup:

Can everyone please confirm.

 

[Oxfordcomma]

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Looking good, cheers Fish. See you Saturday!

 

[Liqdaddymac]

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

Yup, will be there - probably 9:30ish.

Re: Central, West Midlands & Warwickshire Regional - King Of Kings 2014".

I've decided it's unfair for you and Lincoln Quaker to have to wait on my progress in the club's Winter League so I'm committing to Kenilworth as I can play on the Saturday whatever.

So please put me down as confirmed for Saturday 1st March and I'll let you know as soon as I've got my £10 entry fee paid.

Thanks.
