How is your course standing up to the weather?

[J5MBF]

The takeover is unlikely to have any great effect in the short term. (i.e. this week !!)
We haven't had any information apart from the original announcement.
I would have thought they may well invest in the leisure (gym?) side as that is what they have at other courses. If they put some more drainage in, we would not complain.

Interesting that you have a lesson with Angus tomorrow as I have one with him tomorrow afternoon !!

Hope the lesson went well?!
Seems Angus has been kept in the dark, starting to feel for hows he's been/being treated. He mentioned possible expansion plans, we shall see in time i guess.

 

[Bigfoot]

Yes, lesson was so good that I kept hitting the back of greens today.

Hope yours was good too.

He has been very unfairly treated over the last few years but hopefully this might be a positive step for the club. I was not sure the previous people knew enough about golf to understand how important he is to the golf clubs and golfers. I certainly hope it turns out well for him.

With rain being forecast for tonight, I have been informed that our less well drained front nine is going to be closed altogether for the foreseeable future. So just 9 holes available for play and we are supposed to have a seniors qualifier tomorrow!

 

[Cheifi0]

I would count yourself lucky to have any holes open at all. Ours has been shut pretty much from New Year's Eve and probably will be for at least another week. I am not too fussed, trudging about in mud isn't that appealing, I will just carry on practising and count down till spring. The weathers got to improve at some pointless, right?

Mines been closed more than its been open recently. More time spent at the range.

That's a bit of a severe method of keeping members off the course!!!

Ours isn't closed but it's pretty much unplayable and I can't see me bothering till at least mid February at the earliest. Shame as I really enjoy winter golf.

Heard today we need 3 days with no rain to contemplate opening and even then likely to be only partial

I think we're much the same...

 

[TheCaddie]

Now found out the course is closed until at least Monday! There goes my weekend!! Gutted!!

Sods law.......After playing only twice in the 2 weeks I was off over Christmas, we now have bright skies for the next couple of days and I'm sat looking out of the office window. Come the weekend, the forecast is for it to be hosing down. Great.

At least you managed to play Andy. We had that time off as well and didn't manage one game Comp cancelled tomorrow as well for me and think course will be shut still.

 

[Imurg]

And another 3-4 hours of heavy rain just to top up the standing water levels...
Supposedly getting cold next week which means drier weather - might still get a game in January......
It's now a lifetime since I played

 

[Smiffy]

Been absolutely hosing it down all night again here, and the wind is really howling.
Dread to think what Cooden must look like after all of the rain we've had lately, lots of fields under water and roads closed due to localised flooding.
Like I've said, not picked up a club since November 1st.
Grim.

 

[Fish]

Don't even have to look or ring today, the house was battered all night, thought the windows we're going to come in at one time, felt like we were getting sand blasted but with rain it was that forceful 💦☔️😞

 

[Paperboy]

We've got 3 holes closed at the moment with a view to open them on the weekend if we can get some dry weather. Although 2 of the holes are on temporary's as the greens have had drainage work done on them
Which isn't looking likely at the moment.

At least another inch of rain forecast over the next two days. Then another inch on Saturday.

 

[Fish]

I'm looking to drive somewhere on Saturday or Sunday, possibly coastal unless there's a heathland course nearer not affected, I need to play, going stir crazy now 😜😡💦☔️🏌

Don't rely on a coastal course being open

Quite a few links courses are still open, I know your coastal but your a hybrid course IMO, not fully a links but I don't see you as parkland either! Delamere Forest is open 👍🏌

 

[Smiffy]

East Brighton will be open for play, and I can guarantee that your shoes will be as clean walking off the 18th green as they were when you teed off.
Only problem is, it will be unplayable in this wind.

 

[patricks148]

not heard of any courses around Inverness/highlands being closed of late.

no played since Sunday as i need a break after playing almost every day for 3 weeks

 

[Slab]

With so many of you not able to get a game just now if I offer your a spot in a pairs betterball against Samuel L Jackson & Alice Cooper would you take it?















Oh and your pairs partner will be Donald Trump!

Wonder how wet it is. Think we're just going to make do with the covered range nearby
