Last few weeks have pretty much made my mind up about next year, no point renewing. Have hardly played since August, seeing that DD going out each month is annoying.

Pretty much what caused me not to renew. It was getting hard to justify the cost based on only being able to play at weekends and then we lost nearly 2 months due to the weather and when the course did open it was still offering reciprocals to all the other closed local courses and so the queue on the first was over an hour long playing on what was a shortened and makeshift course. I quit at the end of that year. Actually been much happier playing the very odd round as a nomad with mates but otherwise having my weekends available to do other things and a grand in my pocket to pay for them.

The cost of the green fees I would've paid this year for my home course just don't stack up against my membership fee, be daft to renew next year unfortunately.

That was how it got for me and I also got to a stage where i was feeling obligated to play every weekend to ensure I was getting value even if I was not in the mood for a game.

We've been closed 12 days in a row, and 15 out of the last 17.
I was hoping we would be open tomorrow as today was forecast to be the third dry day in a row, but it chucked it down late afternoon, so that's probably scuppered that. More rain forecast for Wednesday so will be lucky to be open again by the weekend. Totally depressing.

Newport opened today "carry only." I didn't bother. Lovely day tomorrow here, I can't play as I've got prior engagement.
Wednesday?? Heavy rain forecast again!

Weren't asked. And worse, the two lads are the ones that come on the golf trip I organise every year. So that's not happening next year, for the first time in 18 yearsDo you mean you couldn't go.....

Our place being open, front 9 only. It must be very wet. Yet open for player to use trolleys and churn up the place, yet we have introduced bluddy mats for the first time ever. I just don't get it.

With winter and snow on the horizon the prospect of more closures is very real. I think I might look at a points system again. A few round me have one. Or a return to Macc on a five day thing. Hmmmm
Same tees but different heights marked, I’ve been using the top height, very annoying

Why aren't you just using pink castle tees? Then you don't have to worry about the height being the same.View attachment 50364

I’ve used the other ones for ages, but have been using a bamboo pink castle tee this week

We’ve been open for the last five days and must be on similar ground. It is now carrying only though.

Front nine only open today - carrying only.
All I've done today is go to the dentist.
Looking for a spot to get 9 holes in one afternoon fairly soon.

I only use the 70 mm tees. Makes no difference what markings are on there. I just use my little finger as a gauge for driver height. Everything else then the ball is only just off the grass when on the tee. Just like a perfect lie on a fairway.View attachment 50364

For the first time in my 22 years membership we have been closed for 3 or 4 odd days due to course flooding, previously we’ve had fog and low cloud and of course snow but never that much rain.
Next day no restrictions including buggies but this year really has been a massive outlier.
