GM Midlands Meet.

[HotDogAssassin]

I've not played since 27th Dec, a few range sessions since then but certainly out of practice.

 

[Midnight]

JCW- Mate do you still need picking up from Parkway ? If so let me know a time.

Practice going crap for me , went out yesterday and played 9 on my own , scored a massive 3 points (This was on a very wide course with hardly any trouble.)

 

[fundy]

Anyone know how Tadmarton fares if there is frost about and whether they go to temp greens as fcast sadly not looking the best

When we were all closed and suffering the wet conditions, Tadmarton was still fully open and NOT on temps. They are described as an inland links style course due to being fully on sand and as such they drain superbly.

Frost in the early morning may be an issue but I'll ask the question on how they have been fairing with that with the last frosts experienced.

Just spoke to the secretary, they have a policy of NO temps Being 600ft in the air and on sand they experience minimal closures or even delays throughout the year, even if there was to be a serious frost.

No restrictions and even buggies will be available.

:thup:

 

[fundy]

Thanks for that Robin, I knew it as a very good draining course lets hope the frost stays out of the ground overnight Thursday

It'll be what ever it is when I open my curtains but the course has an excellent record of not being closed or ever on temps.

Just wrap up and put yer long-johns on

OK, you have first refusal, PM sent with my number.

 

[Bigfoot]

Played today and it was warm enough for no gloves at the start. For once it got a bit colder once the wind got up. A big bag with plenty of clothing options I think.

Roll on Friday.

 

[Oxfordcomma]

Playing in the cold doesn't bother me at all but that's great news on the "no temps" rule Fish, I'd started to get a bit concerned looking at the forecasts. I can guarantee that my home course (mud-based rather than sand-based) will spend the entire weekend now using temporary greens.

This allows me to shift my concern to tonight's range session, like many others it's a few weeks since my last proper round so I thought I ought to at least go and hit a bucket tonight. Outcome was: Short clubs - good. Very pleased. Ball striking with the longer clubs - fine. I'll take that. Directional control with the longer clubs- oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.

See you all Friday

 

[Fish]

I have now arranged for a Nearest the Pin to be included :thup:

Not sure on the prize yet :mmm:

I may also have to tweak a couple of the groups dependent on whether Gibbo comes or the handicap of someone else who joins us.

More to follow on that later

 

[Fish]
