Mini Meet at Brampton Park GC, Cambs 2nd November

The anticipation is building!

I've started thinking about what club I'm going to take for the notorious fourth hole; I assume we'll be playing from the yellow tees so that's 174 yards.
I was thinking maybe a 5 iron, or could the trusty Dunlop 9 wood be in the bag for this very shot?

But then looking at the BBC weather forecast for the day there's a breezy SSWerly blowing, looking on google maps that's directly from behind. Should I switch to a 6 iron? Or will the tee be up a little for the winter and could a 7 iron be just enough? Decisions, decisions. :confused:

(Yes, I know, I'm sad)

Where are you getting your weather forecast? Mine just says rain so I would go with the longer club :)
 
Been away for a couple of days...

Kitchen open at 8am so no problem with breakfast.

Do you guys want to play off the whites or yellows? I assume you're allowed to play off the whites as visitors but can check that.

Weather forecast is for some heavy rain overnight so will check the course is ok in the morning and post on here. The 16th has been on a temp which is a shame but with a club comp on they may have it on the main green.

Oh dear, I hope my weather app is wrong. It currently says Saturday will be 35 MPH gusts with 80% precipitation. Someone please tell me my weather app is talking crap.......... Lol

Mine is flashing up a weather warning from strong winds and heavy rain. Will the course open?
 
It'll be fine.

I rely on the BBC site, much more optimistic than your apps. :)

Between 12 and 6 pm the BBC are predicting the possibility of a light rain shower mid afternoon and SSW winds rising from 13 to 23 mph, lovely conditions! :fore:
 
Hi,
assuming the course is open, I will be leaving here about 10:30, to hopefully arrive at 11.
The only potential fly in the ointment is that my car has decided to light up two dashboard lights, the engine management light plus the ABS light. So if I am not there by say 11:30, then I'll be using my AA relay membership to get home :-)
It shouldn't come to that though, despite the lights on, it seems to drive just as well.

Hopefully see you tomorrow
Cheers
Ian

Give me a call Ian if the car won't go, I could pick you up on the way.
 
Just woke up so I thought I would check the weather forecast. Well fingers crossed because it looks not too bad. We look like getting away with not getting wet, but the wind is going to pick up later in the afternoon.

Ian,

I am coming down from near Boston so will be coming down the A16 to Peterborough then round the ringroad to the A1. So if you want me to pick you up it would not be a problem.

Morning all. Well the course is open BUT there are 3 temporary greens - sadly they are probably the 3 best holes on the course! So that's the 1st, 4th and 16th. The temps are very short of the actual greens so you don't really get much from those holes although you can see what would be ahead of you in better conditions!

I'll understand if anyone wants to play another day but hopefully you can use today as an appetiser :-)
