How is your course standing up to the weather?

Ours is still shocking. A real mess. It's been overplayed all winter because of greedy owners, and the members are now paying the price.

The greens are atrocious, many tees devoid of grass, the bunkers full of stones and some of the rough around the greens resembles the six yard box of your local park football pitch in the middle of January.

Absolutely woeful.

Played yesterday and it was firming up quite well until a deluge softened it a touch.
Loads of rain this morning so will be very soft tomorrow..

Not good. Where do you play? We have some really bare muddy patches around the greens due to traffic when frankly it should have been shut so missing a green and chipping a lottery at the moment. Otherwise we're ok

Ours is not too bad now. The fairway GURs have gone and any boggy patches are confined to the rough. We are still on Winter rules, which would normally over by now. Need a few weeks of dry weather and grass growth to get back to normal.

We are still on preferred lies but recently hollow tined greens are rolling well & all fairways cut so have been able to hold 2 Q Comps..... I buffered in the first & had a 1.1 cut in the 2nd that was RO.... cleaned up by 7pts in our 13 man swindle that day.... chuffed doesn't describe it

Well went to Bradley Park on Wednesday afternoon and played 9 holes on what I call the upper 9. It was boggy on all fairways but the greens were firm. Called in at the Manor at Laceby and flickering great shape, that's the difference over parkland on sand and links over inland parkland. Oh how I miss propper links courses.

Test Valley GC (Overton Hants) has been open all winter although we've had to put up with longer walks around greens due to temporary fencing erected to lessen wear on approaches. These have all been dismantled now though. We have an "All Weather" course here.
