It wasn’t too bad this morning. No standing water but the greens were a bit spongey.We walked off after 5 holes last night. The 1st, 3rd and 5th green all had standing water on them by that point. Wind was probably 15-20mph and the rain was coming sideways so low that it got under my brolly and soaked through my trousers. Had to stick my waterproofs on in the middle of the 5th fairway. Was really surprised to see the message this morning that the course is open, it's going to be very wet. I suppose they are probably feeling they need to open it since it's been closed for 3 days in the last 2 weeks so far.
More showers forecast today, tomorrow and heavy rain Saturday. I'm not convinced the Club Championship will go ahead on Sunday, I'm not sure they can get the greens cut with how wet they were last night and all the rain forecast before Sunday again. Was rained off 2 weeks ago as well.
Maybe if it actually stopped raining at some point. It's rained every day for 3 weeks now and it looks like we are getting it till next Thursday as well.
A few wet patches in the usual places (5th, 13th and 14th), but have seen it a lot worse in the past.
That said, there is no way they can give the greens a cut, and the forecast for Saturday is grim, so you are probably right about Sunday.
