How is your course standing up to the weather?

[sandmagnet]

But will I?
I'm not one for nipping down after work for a round and I work every Saturday/4th Sunday.

Really bad winter and you have done a year there rob,how many times you played? If you do credit ,tokens way how many rounds,comp rounds do you get for 500 quid?

Ours is still soaking wet, and the rain last night and today is not going to help matters.

Europro Qualifying in 3 weeks and its going to be awful at this rate, if you miss the fairway the balls plug, and whereas we're just playing pick and place everywhere, the pros wont be able to.

in all seriousness, is this the wettest winter in memory?

Closed today due to water logging, we've had torrential rain all night and it's still lashing it down 💦☔️

 

[Smiffy]

Ours is back to carrying only.

Another 14mm overnight has done for us again.

Just looked at our weather forecast for the next week - no rain forecast at all - I love Scotland

Think that's the general forecast for most of the country for the coming week

Ours is closed again, according to its website, but I am not sure why.

Have you not seen the amount of water that has come down over the past 10 hours ?

I'm out of the country at the moment. In Northern Spain, where it is also chucking it down (extension of the same weather system).

My garden was literally underwater when i woke up this morning.

Well, I was wrong...we're closed and touch'n'go for tomorrow...
Rain stopped about 8, not a drop since but it looks like the World's ending.!!

One of the advantages of being a member of a public course is that we have been open almost every day across the winter period. The downside of being a member of said club is that the course should have been closed for most of that period.

It is right next to a river so it really doesn't take much for the ground to become saturated and the fairways cut up pretty badly. To be fair it does seem to recover fairly quickly once the weather does improve however the owners are just after getting in all the £££'s that they can.

Tipping down now.....
Didn't want to play tomorrow anyway......

So seriously... Why does it bother you that your course is closed???

Because I was hoping it would be back in good shape by the time I return! I actually posted on Facebook complaining about the rain in Spain, and one of my friends replied saying that the course is closed today, which doesn't sound good.
