I've never been so happy to see rain!

[bozza]

Think it's the first bit of rain we have had for weeks and i'm glad to see it!

The course was close to being abit knackerd because it was so dry but this rain should do it wonders.

Anyone elses course suffering abit with all the dry weather and praying for some of the wet stuff?

 

[Yerman]

no

 

[Imurg]

Our greens are still poor. The ridges that caused so much grief 2 weeks ago are still visible and making a nuisance of themselves. Plus they've put down some sort of fertiliser or something that clings to the ball and stops a decent roll.

The rest of the Course is looking fine - the tee boxes are dry but not too bad.

Need this weekend rain badly.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

We need some rain, course isn't bad at the moment but much longer without rain and we could be in trouble.

 

[bladeplayer]

Yeah BOZZA our place realy needs it at the min , put bit of colour in the course aswell, well over due here , presidents prize next weekend so hopefuly it will stop for that

 

[G_Mulligan]

Yeah I played yesterday and the greens were so dry they were brown from a distance. Desperately need some water so was also very glad to see the rain.

We are desperately in need of rain. Think Swinley Forest could do with a deluge right now too and help the firefighters

Our head greenkeeper must have seen this as an opportunity as he did a bit of top dressing yesterday and it started raining last night and has been on and off all day.
A couple of our greens were getting very hard to hold and were easily possible to putt back off from 8 feet away from the hole.
Definitely a welcome days showers as this will bring up a little more growth and keep the course green and lush.

Don't any of you have sprinklers on your courses? We still have a temp green because of the winter damage!

 

[Oddsocks]

Ours are drying out quickly, Sunday they were the vest I've seen them. Sone rain would help but no sign here, not a single drop

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Our greens are fine as are the tee boxes as we have sprinklers. It is the fairways that are struggling

 

[quinn]

Are you German now???

 

[RGDave]

We had rain half way through the game today. Suddenly instead of being by the hole, I was leaving everything short.
Not that it stopped me exactly.....

 

[oakey22]

Our greens 2 weeks ago were impeccable, today they are starting to show signs of the lack of rain. We have sprinklers on the greens but even these are struggling to keep them tip top.

 

[HickoryShaft]

Driest April in 100 years according to the BBC and the course is showing it....

Rain showing for the weekend so trying to enjoy it before it hits.

 

[fundy]

threatened to storm today then passed to the north, shame as our course is desperately in need of a few days heavy rain, hopefully it comes just after Ive finished my medal round saturday

 

[G1BB0]

have no fear folks in the South East, weather forcast is for lots of rain Saturday and more Sunday, monday and Tuesday

 

[need_my_wedge]

We built some new tee boxes and a couple of new greens over the winter. Whilst the tees are in play, the greens aren't. The course is in great nick but we desperately need rain to help the seeded areas around the work......

 

[moonraker]

Like most in need of rain, greenstaffhave been hand watering as well as sprinklers, trouble is the wind dries them out just as quick
