How is your course standing up to the weather?

Was due to play an open at Fleetwood with a couple of guys from LGC but it was cancelled yesterday. The snow / rain must have been brutal on the coast......No fear tho, LGC has 10 holes open so have managed to jump in the Texas scramble comp today.

Yep, must of been bad over there mate. I see Fairhaven is closed too.
Nothing for me this weekend, I might come and tickle it round at Formby next weekend though if there's no takers.

Yep, thats all I've been doing, not swung a club for a month now.
Its loads better but Still tightens up though on cold mornings.
Funnily enough I haven't really missed playing but then again the weather has been
enough to put me of. Plus the mats don't help.
Roll on April.:thup:
 
Was fine this morning then covered in snow for 30 mins and now it's lovely out there
 
After heavy rain it was closed yesterday but is open today and our first Sunday comp of the year tomorrow is gonna be splodgy conditions if further rain doesn't close it
 
Closed for snow so went for a freebie @ Gloucester GC?

I hate that golf course but it was a) open and b) gratis.

It's halfway down hill so was always going to be wet and it was no surprise that every ball plugged except into the greens which were bloody fantastic. A real pleasant surprise. Good to be out :)
 
My old parkland is looking better than it has all winter at the moment starting to dry out a bit but my my new club which I recently joined is a links so it's bone dry and greens are some of the best ive ever played on and theres still loads of work to be done on them ready for the world amature championships they're going to be holding there in 2 months so hate to think what they'll be like then .
 
Course is open but has 3 temporary greens in operation.
Has been absolutely hammering it down all night, and with more rain forecast over the next few days it's going to be like a quagmire down there.
Have scratched my name from the start sheet for Sundays Stableford and will go to work instead.
Beginning to regret becoming a full member if I'm honest.
 
Supposed to be playing today but it's horrible out there..
Got out for 9 yesterday due to a cancellation and the course is firming up nicely.
Buckets of rain overnight and today will soften it but probably not enough to bring in any restrictions.

You can't be that judgmental or harsh in your thinking Rob, it's the winter after all, you'll have a different view when teeing it up in the summer mornings and late summer nights 🏌

I'm paying on DD Robin. Subscription just over £1100 a year. Luckily I paid a lump sum of £500 when I joined, so my DD is only £54.00 a month.
Next year, if I don't pay another lump sum my DD will be £100.00 a month. I haven't played since Nov 1st mate, so if the same thing happens next Winter I will have paid £500.00 for nothing.
As a flexible member my "credits" would have just been sitting there waiting for the better weather, not costing me anything.

But you'll play more in the summer diluting that monthly DD massively which in turn makes the winter DD more acceptable, everyone doesn't expect to play that much over the winter it competes with a green fee, but the extra amount played in the summer makes it all worth while.

Playing tomorrow and it was starting to dry out and look good. Will be back to being sodden in the places that struggled before as it's going to be deluged today. Not happy. Hopefully the gale force winds will help to dry it though so we might get lucky but not convinced
