How is your course standing up to the weather?

[Green Bay Hacker]

Links courses usually fair quite well in wet conditions but Conwy was shut for about 2 weeks over the Xmas period. After this mornings deluge it is shut again this weekend so our league match there on Sunday has been cancelled.

We opened again after closing for a day.

We are having a lot of work done on our bunkers over the winter. New sand from Cornwall, which is grey and looks great. Some of our bunkers had horrible yellow builders sand. Bunkers all being dug out as well, so improved drainage. Hopefully no more puddles in bunkers, and them being made GUR

The bunker work is great isn't it. The drainage is working well and you can actually play out of the sand which was almost impossible with the old rubbish they put in there.

The bunker on the 2nd had sand in it.:whoo: Huge improvement in both looks and how they play. Hopefully they will all get done over the next year.

Enville was open this week. I played the first three days. The holes that were closed on the Highgate on Monday and Tuesday were being slit. Both courses were open on Wednesday.

I might see you there as I intend playing that day but was not sure what time my playing partner could make.

Hope the weather holds up for you.

More rain this evening, so not much chance of our course reopening yet. We probably need several dry days in a row to give it a chance to dry out a bit!

I expect you would get bored shooting the lights out every week and not having to use your 13 shots:rofl::rofl:

Course is open!

After 3 years of playing British golf, I think today, is the day that I buy myself some waterproofs prior to teeing off!

 

[Swingalot]

We shut on Monday and opened again yesterday. Went and played a few holes yesterday afternoon and it's in great nick considering the weather. Fingers crossed should be ok for the comp on Sunday, a rare weekend round for me.

The ultimate definition of an optimist must be someone who plays golf in the UK without owning a decent set of waterproofs! Where abouts do you play, the Sahara Desert perhaps? :mmm:

Snow overnight in Inverness, but checked the webcam and Nairn is Clear.

not bothering to play though

 

[Norrin Radd]

my course opened today ,first time for a couple of weeks ,owner said it shouldnt be open but thought it will be shut again on monday looking at the forecast.

Been to the club for a committee meeting instead of the medal this morning!

Course closed today and tomorrow for sure and more likely it will be well into next week. Standing water pretty much everywhere, in bunkers, on greens, on fairways, on paths etc going to need a prolonged dry spell before its properly playable

Same with my motorbike gear, passed my test a few years ago but I only own a set of leathers! No waterproof textiles or anything! Not sure of its optimism or stupidity... Probably the latter

 

[delc]

Our course is still closed and it stair-rodded it down this morning, so not much hope of it re-opening again any time soon! May have to play an indoor sport such as snooker or darts for a while!

 

[chellie]

If the two waterways round here weren't full to bursting we might be open. However they are and they're not taking the huge excess of water away to the river. You can tell how bad it is when the links course here isn't fully open.

Ah well, my house isn't flooded.

 

[ruff-driver]

Played today, most of the fairways were roped off diverting all players through the squaggiest parts of the rough

the farmers field next door looked drier

greens were ok, once you got there, holed a monster on the first for birdie, no more highlights after that :angry:

 

[guest100718]

Front 9 is open at my place, might change if we get much more rain today though.
