How is your course standing up to the weather?

Mine succumbed to a rain closure for the first time in the 4 and a bit years I've been a member. Closures before for snow or fallen trees but never rain, and there are a couple on here who can testify to how much it can normally take and remain perfectly playable. :(

It should have been closed the day I played it


..... if only to stop Smiffy's moaning about his shoes! :smirk:

it's rubbish in fog.:whistle:
 
Played Sunday, a bit wet in parts but not too bad. Closed yesterday after the overnight rain. Closed this morning in the first email, just received a second saying the course is now open...
 
Stood up very well over the weeks until Monday morning after a monumental storm but back open again this morning.

Tees , fairways and greens are still very much playable and in good condition - some wet areas in the rough and at times trolleys will be banned but very impressed with the ability to keep the course open and playable which is remarkable compared to other courses in the area

If anyone wants a game during the period other courses are closed give me a shout
 
All good, after being closed 6 days (very very rare) They could have opened it apparently but closed to stop any damage to fringes. Its in fine fettle, temp greens today because they are doing greens work. (green cut nice and sharp before being ironed and finally spiked)
 
Finally had a couple of free days to play and the course has been shut.. Not surprising after the recent floods, but still annoying. Especially considering I won't have another chance till early February...
 
Our course remains closed, and is unlikely to re-open before the weekend, and even that depends on there being a few dry days. I managed to play 9 holes today at the nearby 9 of Herts course, which was a bit boggy in places. :(
 
Rickmansworth Golf Club (aka Tricky Ricky) still seems to be open, but it is a muni and needs to earn green fees. Seemed to be plenty of people teeing off there when I called in this morning. I don't know what sort of condition it's in, but I suspect not good! :)

Brampton partially open, 12 holes on main greens and not sure if the others are closed or on temps - no surprise as Wednesday is men's comp day and miracles always seem to happen to allow play... :whistle:

They won't enforce a trolley ban which is crazy - "strongly urge you to resist using a trolley".
