When I spoke to the pro he said the temps were on because of the severe frosts they've been having (the course has a moorland feel and is quite exposed) but there is no snow, he also said they can revert to full greens during the day.
Ill phone again tomorrow to see how they're doing.
Chorley appears to be no go. Theres patches of snow on the fairways and they've been on temps, I was hoping to get a decent game in there today but I ended up going to Whitefield. It might come good by Monday but I'd say there's more chance of us Getting a game at Manchester.

I was Really Dissapointed with Whitefield today. I used to play there quite a lot 5/6 years ago as I used to live quite Close.
It just doesn't feel like the same Club/ course, It felt as if I was playing a Muni today. The condition seemed poor, Fairways peppered with Divots. Couple this with Members cutting in (several times) Whilst your on the green/hole before.
Also Numpties taking 10 practice swings before hitting the ball and holding everyone up Knarked me off.
That said Though( And I mentioned this to my mate on the 17th) I think I've Spoiled myself the last few weeks with the courses we've been playing and maybe I'm being overly critical.
It certainly felt like it was back down to earth with a bang Today though,and I won't be rushing back to Whitefield any time soon. But then again I could be turning into a course Snob, Thats not a bad thing though is it?

It felt like a muni when i played it last July too. It used to be a cracking course when it was in good nick. Its got a good layout and interesting holes but it had just been let go the last time i played.
Your not the only one with the snob thing going on either
. When i played duxbury the other week with my mate he said the same to me. He said i picked about everything :rofl: to be fair it was in horrendous condition in my defence

Sounds about right Scott. I think the tone was set today When I found myself paying the Green Fee in a portakabin..... It's a bit of a come down when I've recently become accustomed to Oak Panelled lockers and fluffy Eygyption Cotton towels.

I have to admit played with mates yesterday (yes I have some) they wanted to play a muni 10 mins away I made us all drive 40 mins away...
What does that make me?

Qwerty, did you also change the "r" to an "a", to read Foamby - nar just me then.
For those of a sensitive nature, or in the police, I'm just joking, Qwerty may be a big robber though.

Right kidders, I've postponed the putter fitting for two reasons.
One I'm going on the ale today, and knowing Liverpool they'll go and upset all the odds and win, ensuing more beers. It's probably not best to have a putter fitting after 12+ pints the day before, also with the possibility that we may not play at that course also.
So we have more freedom to pick where to play, I would prefer after 2, ideally, but will leave it up to you, but definitely after 12.30.
Qwerty/Scouser , if you can text me in the morning to advise tee off time,pick up time and where. Scouser pick me up at ours, so we can get to the course for about 45 mins before tee off, unless your eating, in which case an hour.
See you tomorrow.

Very jealous guys. Just got back last night and working tonight. Have a great time tomorrow. Just to cheer me up, I've booked a slot at the Cobra demo day at Clarkes golf. They're bringing the Amp Cell Pro irons for me to murder.
Qwerty, I'll be free Friday daytime and early evening if you fancy a quick 9 or 18. I'm also probably going to be free on Sat aft if you fancy it.
