I was supposed to be teeing off now but put it off due to the 40mph winds!
How is your course standing up to the weather?

I think when start rain then should stop the game course.because at a result a player either sick.
Open today, carry only. Surprising after the battering it took and the fact there was already standing water on after the Saturday rain. Shame as I played Good Friday and it had dried out nicely and was coming on nicely
Hmm 🤔

The rain on Saturday has left a few puddles, but the course has stayed open and had a decent 18 today in a friendly 4 ball..
We walked in on Saturday after 6 as we hit an absolute downpour.. Seems to be recovering well so fingers crossed for the start of the season...

Course closed for the fourth day in a row this week. And with more heavy rain forecast tomorrow and Saturday it's unlikely to be open any time soon. It's getting really frustrating now.

Blimey that's not good - where abouts are you based ? Didn't realise there was still areas getting hit by constant rain deluges

Belfast. We've hardly had a day without rain for the last couple of weeks. We even had some sleet yesterday.

Ah that explains it then - hope it subsides soon to get you out playing
We had a few puddles at the weekend in the prone areas but all in all, its coming on nicely Greens had a nice pace and it makes a world of difference seeing nice mown fairways in front of you from the tee. Like you can't wait for the season to get into full swing. Hopefully no more rain forcing mid-round abandonments
Played Tain last night and it was the wettest i have ever seen the course. It had rained up there for 3 days straight.
The bunker on the 14th that was full of water 3 weeks ago is now overflowing and that means the water table is full as thats the low point of the course.

Ours is in great condition for the time of year. Played at Woburn, St Neots , Windmill Hill and Millbrook lately and none of them as good as ours, IMHO.
Looking back down the 15th yesterday

Hammered down most of the night and through until lunch time on Saturday and then another good downpour through Saturday night just a few miles further North!
We were back on a full course for the first time in months at the weekend, white tee's and all greens, that came as a bit of a shock! The greens look like they will be good again this year after a couple of years of them being in poor condition all season.

Our greens are good for this time of year and considering the rain we've had. The course really needs 2 or 3 days without rain, is pretty wet and muddy in places. sad.
