Well, waterproof socks acquired and worn today with leaky shoes.
Outside of socks damp but inside nice and dry.
On to a winner here methinks.

I could, and may well have to if the rumours of abolishing 5 day membership are true.You could pay 7 day fees......just a thought.
Weekends are busy with work and family stuff.
I can create enough space in my diary for 2 mornings a week. I can start at 7 in summer and 8 in winter and be finished and back home by 11/12 leaving the afternoon free for work.
Good stuff. It will be dry tomorrow up here but it has rained heavily for much of the week so I will be wearing mine, the ground and rough in particular will be mucho dampWell, waterproof socks acquired and worn today with leaky shoes.

Yet another pair of supposedly waterproof Goretex shoes that aren't!!!
UA Spieth 2's.....worn a dozen or so times...might as well have worn nothing on my right foot.
In the process of sorting out return but losing the will to live over shoes.
And I don't see why I should fork out 20 quid for a pair of waterproof socks when I'm forking out over 100 for a pair of shoes that are supposed to do the same thing.
AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
No such thing as a waterproof shoe these days. Not had anything keep my feet dry for over 15 years! Old style Dryjoys were excellent, every model since plus other manufacturers has been Tom Kite. Puma from my experience are probably the best these days and this pair of Skechers have been surprisingly good as my last pair of Skechers weren't waterproof but comfort is key for me.

Playing on a day where rain is forecast but not getting wet at all...
until standing on the 18th tee the threatened downpour you’ve been eyeing up for 30 minutes comes 10 minutes too soon and you walk off the 18th green drenched.

Think I'd be thankful I got that far if it had been forecast and threatening.

But it's a bit like needing a dump all the way from home and then cacking your pants just as you've got the key in the door.

Used (soft) spikes for the first time in ages (probably > 2 years) last weekend as weather has been good enough (even H4H Day 2) for spikeless. Pleased, and somewhat surprised, to note no ingress from the copious amount of rain that fell before the round and for the last 3 holes. Ecco w Goretex simply perform as 'per tin'! These were 'World Class' but their 'Dryjoy style' has been fine, for me, also.

Stuck one just over a fence and deep into a thorn bush yesterday - I could see my ball and almost reach it but wasn't able to drag it back. Had to give it up and leave it there. Don't mind losing a ball every now and then but when it's right there!! Haha.

I feel your pain.
God only knows how many of my golf balls I've seen just a few feet into a nice clear lake!

Socks and shoes off.
Working on my short game and fixing the nightmares from the weekend and going nicely and then rain of biblical proportions. No drizzle, no warning. Whoosh. Fortunately I had my waterproof top but curtailed some constructive work

AGM was nearly 2 weeks ago
No minutes on the notice board and no communication as to what went on.
Would be nice to know if my membership category still exists.....

Without being funny, is the Zoo really a good place for you to be. I get your issues regarding working days, accessibility etc but you get precious little for a still not insignificant buck and seem to be treated as third (not even second) class members. Are there no other clubs in the vicinity worth looking at
