Try this. I have it on my laptop.

It is the most accurate forecast I have ever seen not only accurately forecasting when but quantity as well. It only forecasts 3 hours ahead so useless for the next day, but it would have been ideal in your case.

Wow. I bet he was called some names. 
I did manage two birdies but the rest of it was a bit chaotic..

Amazing, I would love to know how he did it or witness it. The 14th for example is back to being a 75 yard hole at the moment while they're building the new green - I hit a lovely pitch onto the front of the green which shot 15 feet up in the air and into the OB ditch at the back. Wasn't much we could do with that one. The 6th was fun as well, I hit a pretty nicely struck wedge to the front of the green, two huge hops and it finished on the high bank behind the green, haha.

Got 2nd round match of Winter Singles K/O booked for coming Sunday. As current holder I‘m keen to do well, but in frozen conditions and temps, my short game, being by far the strongest aspect of my game, is rather neutered…what a pain, though maybe as weather looks warmer next week I will see if we can rearrange as chance back on greens.
When those versions came out Titleist sent 3 V1 and 3 V1x. To be honest I could barely tell the difference in actual play between each model whereas previously there was a lot of difference between each one.
You are correct in that if you read the technical blurb they had switched the characteristics around.
Not really an irritation but an observation.
We played a Seniors comp yesterday and the winner shot 42 points
as a guide to the rest the PCC was plus 3.
Usual thawing ice problems - land the ball on the green and it was likely to go out the back, land it a foot short and it stopped dead.

Been on the waiting list for Country Membership at Saunton for several years. Just had the email to say I am in!
Now sat here wondering if I'll make enough use of it to make it worth while!

The green fees have indeed shot up! Since this mornings dilemma and gnashing of teeth, I am taking the view that "we pass this way but once" and I am joining. I will go down at least once a month and probably have a couple of full weeks staying locally and playing every day! If it doesn't get used enough, I don't need to renew.
I will now find how many new friends I have who'll want signing in!

I will definitely, and you know I'd sign you in at Saunton. You might have to drive though!?
I appear to be forking out to save other folks cash!

I am desperate to apply to Burnham & Berrow for country membership. However, they don't even let you apply at the moment - the waiting list is full and applications are closed.
I know someone who waited 12 years for St Enodoc membership.
I can't remember! I will check later.
Maybe this should be a Golf thing that gladens the heart.?.
