How is your course standing up to the weather?

Course fully open, turned up this morning for my first game in 7 weeks and the fog rolled in and shut the course....I might have sworn.
 
I haven't forgotten about you Billy boy, hope to arrange a game soon, would prefer you saw the course when it was a bit better :cool:

The icons were the thoughts on my course conditions ATM. We're ALL Looking forward to playing your course when the weather gets better.:thup:
 
Looks like the storm than dumped loads of snow on New York is about to dump another load of rain on the UK tomorrow evening! :(

Tomorrow is my third attempt to play a knockout match which has been postponed because of closed course.
We're playing early to try to get round before the 44mph winds hit...
 
i went over to my club today and it was open ,but looking at the five day forecast it wont be for very long as east sussex has weather warnings in place for possible flooding ,so that means yet more bloody rain and the course closed again .
although not really affecting me as i cant play through injury its not good for the club im sure.
looking out of the clubhouse window the fairway was almost indestinguishable [spelling] from the rough the grass had grown that much ,far too wet to put the mowers out
 
We are now back up to 13 holes open, all on grass tees and proper greens, despite yesterday's rather persistent rainfall. A few dry days seemed to allow some of the water to drain away and the course seems less boggy than it was a week ago. Hoping we might get the remaining 5 holes back soon. :)
 
Went to the practice area today for a few hours the weather was not great but the course was open & on full greens with a few players out there. Hope the weather picks up for the weekend as we havea team match to play.
 
The rain of Tuesday/Wednesday has us closed again today and tomorrow...
Things are getting serious...for someone who plays twice a week or more, to have played 3 times since 18th December is killing me....
And two of those rounds were at two of my least favourite courses.......

Ouch ... We have our advantages up here North of The Border, our own microclimate :cool:

Stay calm, it's nearly spring :thup:
 
Storm 'Gertrude' is on her way to make things wet and windy again, particularly Up North! :(

Storm effing Gertrude is already here..... Honestly amazed that there hasn't been even more flooding this week within Cumbria. Glenridding hotel has been flooded out for the 4th time this winter and another bridge has collapsed but got off lightly so far.
Cameron was up today and I don't think he has made many friends with his 'solutions'.

Golf not really on the radar for me at the moment, home course well and truly under water and would probably get washed off the road trying to get to Silloth!

Off skiing soon so some positives.
 
At last we have all 18 holes open again, and all on proper tees and greens, which were in good nick. Some of the fairways and areas of rough are still a bit boggy in places, but it was nice to be able to play a full round again. :)
 
We went from 15 holes to 17 today with only our 17th still out of action, even though it rained all the way around it stood up to it very well, obviously off the fairway can be poor so more effort to keep it on the short stuff is a must, but we have gone to pick, clean & place through the green which helps in these conditions and keeps things moving.
 
Still 6 temps at ours but all other greens been cut today as indeed were the fairways and some of the rough. Not sure the fairways benefited in places as now very muddy from smearing :(
 
7.30 inspection tomorrow
Been raining on and off since lunchtime and due a fair bit tonight - can't see it being open.
Hopefully, with little rain forecast after tonight and the the strongish wind, by Wednesday we might be able to play it!
 
Was fully open and no temps when I played yesterday. Wonder what tomorrow will bring if the rain comes though. Mind you not sure I want to play if it's really windy. Was bad enough on Thursday.
