Apparently my course is part closed for the first time in 20 years. They have managed to get 12 holes on 1 course open and 6 on the other so you can still play 18.

everytime i see this thread i think 'standing' up to the weather? ours is swimming.
Hi, just joined, and if you were wondering WWG stands for Worlds Worst Golfer, but that doesn't stop me enjoying it. I am a member of a club on the south lincolnshire coast, and whilst we have had loads of rain, we have been better off than most. I played yesterday 6th Jan, and whilst a bit boggy the course was OK. After today though, I'm not sure !!

I am a member at Guildford Golf Club. We are lucky it is on chalk, so the drainage is fantastic. Despite endless rain, no standing water, no temporary greens and course very playable. I am biased obviously but other clubs in the area have been shut. Played the best round of my life there today as well - gross 79

I think I have only seen one tweet which has said my home course is closed, all other days there have been 18 holes open
Not that it has affected me as I haven't been able to play for months now due to other circumstances

What course are you a member of WWG? I am originally from near Holbeach.

ours has finally bowed to the inevitable and closed "due to severe waterlogging"
Hmm! I spoke too soon! After another 19mm of overnight rain our course is now completely closed and may remain so for some time. It normally drains pretty well, but there is nowhere for the water to go right now!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!
P.S. This is the first time I can remember it being completely closed for reasons other than lying snow!

It's a similar story at St Annes Old Links. They've worked their socks off to keep it open as much as possible. This week it was closed for 2 consecutive days. The first time that has ever happened due to rain. They're back open now, but just 12 holes.

I drove into Perth this morning and all you could see of King Jimmy's was water and trees. It looks like it is completely under water.
