GM North East Meet: 1st Dec 2012. Venue TBC

go up stocksfield much better than garesfield although dont know about the drainage at stocksfield cant imagen it been good but probs better than garesfield

Go up Stocksfield for what???

If your on about comparing golf courses ive played Stocksfield plenty times,and its been a mess,like garesfield in bad weather.
If your suggesting leave Garesfield.....no chance..I am not a car driver and its nearest course to me...and am HAPPY there.
 
Winters ONLY ever used if Frost, this is Common sense to protect the Greens, I presume this would be the Same for any Inland course

As I havent got a crystal ball, I cant tell anybody if Winters will be on................would only be decided by greenstaff on Sat morning.......................BUT..........this will be December, WINTER GOLF, so without going up the Coast and playing a true Links...............then u just take what u get from a city centre course

Wayman has a point about Slaley in March too........could be very 'hitty-missy' if we get a Wet Spell............maybe better off with another Links track in March, and keeping Slaley as a Summer venue.......??



Yeah ... FROST situation for GREENS protection.....would think EVERYONE who plays golf would KNOW THAT.....But we were told by the pro at Wearside when in the shop that the NORMAL greens were ON....and they wernt.So IF I had KNOWN that we wouldnt have played.
 
Outside in my back garden, rain is bouncing about 2ft off ground..........belting it down, must be 24Hrs Non-Stop now surely.......:(

Were some MAD scenes on local News tonight too
 
You can always do Sharpley again fellas

Mind my horse in the car park though :D
 
Tonight is meant to be the last of the rain, chance of a couple of showers tomorrow but nothing bad.

Think the other problem is that it's meant to get cold from the rest of the week so some greens may be frozen
 
I know Longhirst is open, good course and pretty cheap.

Other than that I think it's only going to be the links courses that are open.
