Did you know, Wet Wet Wet were going to be called just Wet Wet, but decided to add an extra Wet at the last minute.
No? You do now

Yes it’s all connected.
It’s not rocket science.

Course is now closed and is likely to remain so over the weekend. April medal now delayed to 27th April.

More rain overnight and course closed again today. I wasn’t planning on playing anyway due to going back up to Scotland for the weekend.
Feels like monsoon season just now but the new pond on the football field has shrunk a touch since Wednesday so it must be easing off.

We have many streams draining the course into the adjacent river. But the river level is now so high it is causing the sluice gates to close. All the lakes and streams are now overflowing.
So the course is closed for the 3rd consecutive day and if the rain doesn't stop up in the Pennines we'll be closed for more days.
Fortunately the river hasn't yet come over the flood protection banks. If it did we would be under at least 2 or 3 metres.

Third day on the trot for us again.

Finally (no hurry guys) our leaders have introduced a 'traffic light' system, starting from today. Hence we are open today but with buggies banned when I suspect we would otherwise have been closed.

First medal postponed as only 9 holes open. Tomorrow might be 18 but with a lot of winter greens.
Starting to regret rejoing all ready. Seriously considering next year joining the cheapest 9 hole course available and just playing opens

Closed today, but it looks like just a small chance of rain through tomorrow and it's windy.....I think we might get a carry only in the morning.

I keep checking my place, for when I return, still only front nine open. It's very hilly so drains down into the river.

Never thought I would say a course should not be open because of the wind!
We came off after a big tree branch landed about 10ft behind us ,very scary.

If it's not rain it's wind. We have a H&S policy that shuts the course if the wind gets above a certain speed.
We have some giant Poplars which have a tendency to break or fall in high winds. Like you, I was fairly close to a large branch toppling once and if it wasn't scary it definitely got you thinking about what could be.
The club have been slowly replacing them, but it is an expensive business.

Played at Parkstone today as a practice for tomorrow’s scratch game. What a joy to play off grass tees and not be covered in mud afterwards. If only I lived 25 miles closer.

Just took my name off for the morning....absolutely hammering down out there at the moment.

Played today as it was the first competition of the season and my first round of this year except for substituting at the last minute for a friend in a pairs competition in January.
No way the course should be open - just collecting pounds from desperate members of other courses in the region that have properly closed who need their fix.

Now I get up and it's open carry only. Mmmmm, might just go anyway.

My local moor land course which is always open have just announced that they're closing the course for 5 days to give it a rest. Majority of courses in the area are closed so I think they've been getting all the golfers from other courses playing.
I'm not a member anymore but I'm always surprised at the fuss members are making for their courses being closed after all this rain. I understand you're not getting value for your membership but surely it's better in the long run to not play it whilst it's so wet. It's hardly stopped raining in Yorkshire for probably 5 months, give or take the odd dry days.
