Already written off the weekend golf (certainly Saturday) after the snow dump tomorrow night/early Friday. I am hoping something good may happen more in hope than expectation to get even 9 open on temps for Sunday. Can't see it but I'm a golfer so you have to hope don't you?

Frozen everywhere till about 12.30 when it thawed a bit, so pitching into temp greens wasa lottery but very enjoyable walk around with half a set. PP also carried but forgot to put putter in so putted with 5 iron , actually probably better than he normally does 
Played Valle Del Este today. Out in 16pts. One stupid mistake, compounded by 2 more stupid mistakes on the same hole. Back in 19pts, with 3x 3 putts. The 3 putts were brought on by chasing birdies, but I did bag 3 birdies too. All played in a strengthening wind. Driving was spot on, almost - a couple of doglegs into the wind saw me drive through the doglegs into the rough beyond.
Finished with a birdie putt on 18 from about 10ft, and won by 1 point.

Which hole cost you, Brian?
The 3rd hole, stroke index 1, and on a shot. I usually hit 3 wood with a bit of a draw around the dogleg. It was into a stiff breeze so I decided on driver, but nailed it dead straight toward the lake. It rolled beyond the red line but was hanging on by a few strands of grass on the edge of the water. Ball well below my feet but an easy 7 iron to the green. Thinned into the water. Dropped a second ball on the fairway side of the red line, and promptly hooked it into the apartments.
A drawn 3 wood would have left me a 6 or 7 iron - first mistake. Second mistake was not taking my medicine, and the 3rd one was hooking OOB.
I've finished 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st in the last 4 weeks but haven't broke through 36pts. Stuck on 5.7

Played Moor Park, yesterday shouldn't have been open.
Were scheduled to play a Comp at the Grove.
Tuesday night they said it wouldn't be cancelled and they moved the tee times back 90 mins.
We questioned this with the forecast but were assured they would hold it.
Two hours on the M25, just pulling in to the Grove and they call to cancel

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Am bogged off coz I didn't play, don't get me wrong, we didn't get out coz it was freezing fog at the course and glorious sunshine when I left home. It was the right decision due to safety that we didn't play. But what proper bogged me off was, We hung around for an hour coz we were told it would lift. Stood outside the club shop which you walk past from our 9 th to the 10th. I mentioned to three pals who were walking by the course was closed and on they went to the 10th. Now there was no one about to stop them playing due to it being unsafe, So what's the differance between the front nine and back nine. There's no signs up saying course closed, nowt on the website saying course closed so folk are still turning up to play.

9 holes of either excellence or utter ****
hooked 9i tee shot followed by amazing 60° chip to a frozen green
310 yard (frozen fairway) drive followed by a topped 6i
Solid 9i approach bounced as though it was concrete over the green followed by a great 9i bump n run
Short game and putting was solid...

snow has all cleared more or less in Inverness, snowed in Nairn last night and with the temp at the moment unless its 20deg tomorrow, no golf this weekend

Hard to be objective in frozen conditions like that but at least you got out. Not sure many will from tomorrow onwards.

Got 18 holes in today.
Hands frozen, face frozen, fairways frozen, greens frozen ............................ but still had a laugh.
Three of us shot a +1 gross texas scramble which was better than we'd expected.
Oddly, I was pitching and chipping rather well!
Loads of very fresh air as it was blowing quite strongly ............................ and very coldly.

Played 18 holes at Spyglass Hill on an indoor simulator, due to the snow outside. Great fun, and good to keep the swing going whilst staying warm.

Played 18 holes today. Did not enjoy, that’s me done until it warms up slightly. No more frozen golf. Absolutely despise it

Went up to the club at lunchtime and the snow is at least 6-8 cm deep by the 18th so can't see it being open for a good few days yet. Nonchantly said to HID I'll hit the range and she said did I want to review that decision and showed me the feel like for tomorrow https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcpkqzuj9#?date=2019-02-03
Think it may be a duvet morning and pub lunch instead. No fun trying to hit balls if you can't feel feet or fingers

Another match play defeat in our local inter club league looked on the cards when I was three down with four to play but managed to scrape a half in the end. Team won 3.5 to 2.5 so that half point did make a difference. One moan though was that the greenkeepers went out before dawn and deemed the greens frozen due to overnight frost and temp greens were in play all day. By 11am it was 6 degrees, all the frost had gone and the greens were soft but we were still on temps.

Courses all closed round here so three of us went to Top Golf. Didn't worry about the score much, just wanted to hit a few balls really. Hit the driver really well, hybrid was ok, shanked a couple of irons like I always do off driving range mats, but managed some decent ones by the end.
