How's This Rain Suiting You?

[Crazyface]

It's been biblical here for almost two full days. It's coming straight down now. Lightening forecaste for later along with the continued rain until midnight. Then more rain (just who is this blasted woman????) for the next three days, cumulating in a horrendous downpour and lightening on Sunday.

(My comp might be off)

well the River Ness was almost bursting its banks last night, 3 weeks ago you could walk across it in town with just wellies on

What rain? Had nothing too bad here. Just gale force winds. Looks like rain over the weekend though sadly.

The weeds are beating the grass in my lawn !!!

The wind is keeping me nice and cool in me bulging shorts. 👍

Virtually none here too.
We've had a fraction of the normal amount since Spring, even since Summer "broke" area weeks back.
Everywhere is still very dry and the duck ponds in town are slowly drying out again.

Currently 30* and cracking the flags here. Sat with my religious friend, SanMiguel.

Forecast for the next week, more of the same.

No rain here. Feisty wind yesterday but calm and dry today. I believe we will be copping it shortly though.

Similar, rumour has it there's a cloud expected to pass in a couple of days so we're organising a bit of a group viewing thingy... but we've been told not to look directly at it without protective glasses

Worst storm for years here today thunder, lightning and hail it was dark at 4pm
Absolutely lashed down for an hour.

When I played at the Zoo this morning I was sloshing about the fairways and we hadn't had much rain overnight.

We're on clay and I think it got baked solid in the summer.
Now, water can't soak in so it sits on top and waits to evaporate.
If we get a spell of continuous rain I can see the course being underwater in no time.
Greenkeepers are Verti-draining all fairways in a couple of weeks - with a bit of luck that will help.
Got a weekend of rain due - allegedly - so next week could be interesting

What rain?

I answered my own question today, only 3 of our group of 16 players decided to brave it out today. The rest of us had coffee and put the world to rights.

It’s put paid to Captain’s Day at ours; more of the 18th under water than not when I left and we drain well, as some on here can testify.

 

[clubchamp98]

Ours drains very well but ball was picking mud up yesterday .
We should have put preffered lies on in hindsight.
Played very long as it’s a bit softer now.

 

[HampshireHog]

Course shut today. Was due to be playing a club match this afternoon followed by dinner. Now I can watch the footy and the golf. Result

 

[Imurg]

Plenty this morning but stopped now and no more due for a week or two....
It's all or nothing around here.

1st big rain in the new house and we found out that 1 drain was totally blocked, and 2 were not attached properly. Thankfully the previous owner left a big ladder so I managed to (temporarily?) fix it. I have no idea why there are so many stones at the bottom of the downpipes, do they belong there? I took them out because they blocked the leaves falling through.

On a positive note, we tried to seed some lawn last week, and the watering is now taken care off. And the car is clean(wish) again.

Forecast for today was to be wet and windy but it has been sunny and light winds. Excellent day for a game.
