Off to Hayling in a minute. Just checked the forecast and 31/32 mph wind with 45-47 mph gusts. Just a mild breeze for some of us!!
Temperature 15 but feels like 9!

We went down there earlier for a stroll along the beach.
The windsurfers were out in force and definitely a fun day for them but not sure about for golfers. Ball must have been blown around on the greens I'm guessing? It was hard work walking into it at points

Complete with shorts?

no shorts today - but I could have! Wow - the forests of wind speed were, I reckon, significantly underestimated. I have never played in that strong a wind - unbelievably hard to control and many pins simply impossible unless you get lucky and catch the 40 yard sideways finish just right! To give you some idea, Gordon flushed a 5 iron into the 145 yard -par 3 (12th??) and nearly made the green - went about 110 yards - my 4 iron was similar - hence, we reckon about a 6 club wind. There was one youngster behind us and we saw another 4 ball later on - a match that was due to go out after us was cancelled! A fantastic course with great fairways and bone dry! Links golf is the future for winter golf. From 7 onwards, the course was really good and some holes are right up there with the greats. All told, a great day - even if it was bloody hard work mentally and physically!
