How is your course standing up to the weather?

[bluewolf]

Yep, I know where your coming from.
I usually peak for about 3hrs on Tuesday afternoon

My peak effort is usually concentrated on Friday after lunch.. The motivation of attempting to avoid the inevitable Saturday afternoon phone call from the Sales Dept.. "Danny, how is the new Product line doing? Will it be out by 6am Monday, Should I pop in to check"..

Course was open but very very wet. Due to those conditions and the heavy rain not one person went out today. This weather is getting everyone down now and tomorrows club match is highly likely to be postponed.

Closed due to heavy overnight rain.

All 18 open - couple of puddles in the rough but fairways and greens very good

 

[delc]

Ours is closed again after a period of persistent rain. It was getting a bit sloshy underfoot again when we were playing in light rain yesterday afternoon!

It's crossed my mind mate .. Especially now the prodigal son is returning.. Off to leafy Lytham next week for a knock on dry land.. I'm beginning to contract trench foot here in Wigan

Not Lytham Green drive your not!!!!!

Not been up there so no idea but it was very ropey on Thursday according to some of the members. To be honest, given how wet in places it is and these gale forces gusts I'm not feeling I'm missing out much. Off to Pachesham in Leatherhead for a morning dedicated to pitching, chipping and putting and a short game lesson

We have been closed for 3 days now, and only partially opened previously, makes me wonder how much dry weather is needed to make the course fully playable, not that there is much dry weather in the forecasts.

Think I need to get to the coast for some links golf.

Closed today and will be tomorrow also, never seen so many roads flooded, the manholes in the road have water pushing them up and we were down to 1 lane on the A46 to Leamington due to the volume of rain throughout the night and it's still teaming it down now ☔️

Ok, there are a couple of pot bunkers full of water and a puddle on the 10th where the field is waterlogged, plus the broken drain under the 16th also a puddle. greens were ok, come on in the 3 weeks ive not played.

 

[Fish]

Still hammering it down here and my conifers are at 45 degrees 😳 It's not took a breath since last night 😠

Think we could be closed all week at this rate ☔️😠

 

[IanG]

Pretty good now. All greens in play and running well, 3 or 4 bunkers still full of water and a bit of standing water on the 9th fairway.

According to the vice captain one of our benches has been blown off the patio into the lake by the 18th, some 30 yards away this afternoon. Given the way the wind is battering the fence here and blowing against the house I see how that happened

Played today & the course was in excellent shape, greens were spot on running & putting very true. One of the guys even managed a hole in one then made birdie on the next but it wasn't enough to win the game he ended up finishing level par (scratch) with one of the other guys 2 under & one behind me. Free Chinese for me tonight

Where's that Hank? Sounds like you had a cracking day .

 

[Imurg]

We were, allegedly, open today, although anyone who tried to play probably got blown away
Will be closed tomorrow for sure with the amount that's coming down now.
Not supposed to get any better on Monday either so I suspect another closure.
Tuesdays looking dryish and breezy so by Wednesday we may be open again.

Apparently our course was open this morning, although one of my mates said he played 3 holes and gave up as he felt it was unplayable. Was informed just after 3pm that we're closed for the rest of the weekend and tomorrow's comp is off.

Not really surprised as it started raining about 8.30 this morning and hasn't stopped since. Forecast doesn't look great into next week, so we'll have to see how the weather develops and keep our fingers crossed for next Saturday's comp.

On the plus side, I did get some range practice in this morning while my car was being serviced. May have to do some more tomorrow!

We had an invite to play at Elie Golf Club over in Fife, not played it for a few years so was good to get another game round it.

 

[gregers]

[Smiffy]

Just checked Coodens website and apparently it is open for play still, despite the heavy rain we have overnight. Can't believe it!!
