Is it just me or is this the wettest drought ever?

Its done nothing but rain for the past two weeks. You could fill a swimming pool with the water on the greens at Oulton Hall.

Any other courses have ducks on their greens?

Ours was shut today.

We have ducks out on our lawn.

Drought? Since they announced this, it has done nothing but rain.

You sarf Afrikaans just dont understand British traditions do you? 2 weeks without rain in any part of the country and we are obliged to ban hosepipes. 3 weeks and they shut car washes. 4 weeks and we officially class ourselves as a desert state. Any longer than that and we check the bible for any other signs of the coming apocalypse.

We have lots of geese visiting and taking up residence. Also a lovely heron in my most visited bunker.

The 14th and 18th greens had natural water hazards on them on Tuesday. The bunkers were retaining water and my mate lost a ball in the water in the bunker on the front of the 11th. Yesterdays rain must have wreaked havoc. The place was getting churned up from all the traffic. Havinng USGA spec greens can work against a course IMO as they have stayed open when the course could do with a rest.

We had a duck on a green this week, not looking forward to this afternoon, it could be a wet one.

Trudged round in the rain yesterday, only thing wetter were the fish in the river that runs thorough our course. Lots of ducks and Canada geese on the course but never a birdie.

Not only is it the incessant showers of rain but this strong wind makes practicing a waste of time. How can you tell which shots are user error and which are going offline thanks to the wind

Simple answer to that is you can't if there is ever a time to practice Punch/Stinger shots then now is it

The River Thame near us is flooded and has broken it's banks in several places near the Town.

Some drought....

Got a bird from the atacama desert over here. She had never seen rain before. Took 3 buckets of sand to revive her?

Can you tell I am bored today.
