I heard of it but it somehow doesn’t appeal to me.

With the course closed I went to Top Golf with a mate. Brought my driver, new GAPR that only arrived this week, 8 iron and 46°. I hit the driver well, the GAPR ok but it was difficult to get a gauge because even the lower tee was too high for it. Hit the 8 iron nicely, and shanked the 46 about five times. Most likely because I hate driving range bays when you have to aim to one side, and the green target was on our left, so, yeah that didn't work for me. Can't let a weekend go by without hitting golf balls anyway so at least that box is ticked, ha.

Course closed. Flooded. Gutted.

Had all 18 holes re opened.
Not surprised it’s shut. Just took the dog out for a walk. The rain we have had overnight is incredible.

Yeah it hosed it down tbf, not sure if this is just floodwater or the watertable is back up ?
Was really looking forward to having a card in my hand again. Practiced yesterday and apart from 1 temp green (10th, so still playing decent length) we had 15 full holes open. There’s a bit of GUR in places (fairway bunkers mainly) but normal tees and greens. Only the 17th left really, but as it’s access to 18 that’s out too (though it is defo playable).
The 17th fairway was underwater a long time and looks it. Other than that our greens are good as gold thankfully. Away home next weekend and up to 90 at work but will try to get over to yours in March ? Assume alls well there!
Bog off winter.

Managed to get 14 holes in yesterday. (rest were shut due to flooding) Today it’s fully shut again 36 points from 14 holes so a good day but playing short.

This is why I'm moving clubs this Spring.
Whipsnade - unsurprisingly submerged
Ellesborough - open, carry only but open.
Not that I'd want to play in this but if I did....I could

Lucky you. Closed and waterlogged in places I've never seen water on the course before. What's the countdown reached?This is why I'm moving clubs this Spring.

Took the boy for 18 holes at Vistabella. He's turned 10 today, so a bit of a birthday treat. Played with a lovely couple from Norway. Jamie smashed his 1st tee shot an easy 200 yards off the first tee. I just sat there chuckling. We were both a bit inconsistent but he scored 25 points off a 36 handicap.
His best hole was 17, made par off the yellow tees and followed it up with a bogey on the last.
This is the 13th, lots of carry required to clear the water, this tee shot finished by the bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway.

Little different here in Ireland compared to Mel above.
Brutal weather here yesterday made it touch and go if the course would be open. For the first time ever electric trolleys were banned. The lads were scrambling to find their old push trolleys. I reached for the carry bag and got on with it.
When we arrived at 10 we were told the place was dead. 6 of us so we decided to play as a 6 ball. 2 men to a team. Little russian stableford match. We got 15 holes in. As I was about to tee off on 16 there was a crack of lightening right over our heads and a rumble of thunder. Time to go. More thunder on the way back to the clubhouse. Not a nice place to be.
As you can see. It wasnt pretty as I teed off on the 7th.

Have you any more rounds left to pay a reduced green fee (or full price) before the big day? Granted it's not going to happen in the next few days given the conditions

Perfect. All we need is some dry weather and the winds to drop. What could possibly go wrong

I don't miss the inlcement weather back in the UK, not one bit. I do miss the cheap golf though, costs me a fortune over here if I go out and do 18 holes with the lad. The missus is starting to get into the game as well - so I won't be getting mych change from 150 euro a round whe she starts to join us.

Played on Saturday, 9 of us turned up for a game. Dry but very windy when we started, managed 6 holes, then jumped over to 13th, as the rain was starting and only hit our 2nd shots and gave up. Combination of rain and wind just too much. Long walk back in to the elements from 13th green wasn't pleasant

Played at Aldeburgh today with 12 more vintage club fans.
The course was in very good shape considering the weather we've had recently, windy today but no rain.
Unfortunately I had a shocker, started on the first with a pushed shot that hit trees and dropped straight down so should have been easy to find but wasn't, blob, that set the tone for the round and I struggled to accumulate 14 points.

Did you play any better on the back nine.
