Opened on Friday for the first time since mid December, but only on winter greens. Snow forecast for later this week so we might be back to square one. ?
It's been relatively nice here the last couple of weeks, but forcaste is for it to be -8 tonight. If that's the case we will too next weekOpened on Friday for the first time since mid December, but only on winter greens. Snow forecast for later this week so we might be back to square one. ?
Lol. I take it the green keeper didn't take to kindly to the queries....hopefully it opens soon for ya.Ours has been closed all week. It has put some rain down but I've never known it to be closed for more than a day or two consecutively before and judging by the comments from the guys who've been there years, either do they!
The greenkeeper quite bluntly put it when we called him out on WhatsApp and he said we need to get used to it as summers are getting longer and the winters more mild and wet.
Its a strange one our course, it tends to get surface water but stays quite firm and doesn't chew up and get muddy. Normally it takes a day to drain away and you're good to go but we haven't had that recently - Just relentless rain.
Wow... That's grim... I feel blessed now.. Closed for a month..Opened on Friday for the first time since mid December, but only on winter greens. Snow forecast for later this week so we might be back to square one. ?

This was the scene at Whipsnade that made the 3 of us leave....even if it's a P&P the damage being done will take ages to recover.

At a Member's club it's destroying their prime asset.
I'm glad my current club doesn't let trolleys on if conditions are such that damage would occur.
Another previous club let members on in similar conditions..the ruts took a couple of years to get back to anywhere near normal.
