Green a tad soft.

Sunday morning. The back 9 @ Wyboston suffers real bad in the wet. Normally closed for a few months.

We walked in on Sunday as our greens were starting to flood, an hour later they were fine again but it really did belt it down. Funnily my pp is playing wyboston lakes this Sunday.

It's still in very good nick. Getting a bit harder to spot your ball if you off the fairway as it's covered in leaves. But £20 on a Sunday morning is great VFM

Never played it myself but not far up the A1 so will stick it on the wish list.

Ours used to be like that on the older greens...... SPLAT!

New ones hold up against the rain much better.

Hope you're using the right shoes on those greens.......:rofl:

Will def have a round there with you when it's drier. It normally in good nice end of March time. Lovely course in good weather.

Grass on the green looks very long too?! Or is that just the pic...?

Don't forget the golden rule......play the ball as it lies

 

[Scrindle]

If your ball plugs on the green like this what do you do? I don't take part in comps at the moment because I'm not a member anywhere but in bounce games we repair the divot and place the ball on top of it.

What do the rules say you should do?

I did as you did. I don't play comps either.

Just the picture. Greens are in very good condition bar the ones that are close to the lakes or river.

 

[Alex1975]

Ye, mark it, repair it, play it...

I played there a few times over the summer. Lovely course, enormous dragonflies. As you can see, in winter, some if it gets very wet.

Had one of those last year. It had been very very wet but the course was still open and it was in a medal round. Second shot into the 8th to a green that normally doesn't get that wet. Hit a great shot and it was all over the flag but looked to disappear behind the green. When we got there it's looking like a fried egg with less than half the ball above ground level. Missed the bloody birdie putt from 8 feet though.
