Playing on frozen GREENS

[HawkeyeMS]

My old club used to play qualifiers on frozen greens, I can live with adapting my shots to account for the dodgy bounces (just) but putting through the lumps of ice that form after people have walked around the hole a few times is ridiculous.

Our track had a surface frost over the weekend.

Not a white surface, but bone hard to play on. On our very first green, my dad hit a lovely floated chip that pitched with a thud at the front of the gren then shot forward through it and finished about 10 yards behind

I'm ike Homer and Fundy. I don't particularly like playing when it's bone hard with ice. I just work on my swing and strike and forget the scores.

Played at ours on Sunday and didn't mind the greens so much, just accepted that almost everything had to be a bump and run rather than using wedges.

The one thing that did frustrate me was finding that my ball had landed in front of a worm cast that had frozen solid. Trying to get a decent connection whilst hitting through that made everything a bit of a lottery!

Now this is the real harsh one!

All day they were frozen solid. Never hit so many in my life.

Hit them and saw them bounce or roll off nearly every time.

So many shots lost!

Played the Warwickshire kings course for anyone local. I can't recommend enough!

Einstein's definition of insanity?

I played a ko match last week on frozen greens.
Oppo hit the ball better than I did and if it were summer I'd have been in trouble.
He kept firing at pins and ending up over the back and I won 4&3.

Some people do make you wonder what goes on in their head (no offence to the OP)

Our greens are thawed today, sadly the course is closed due to being waterlogged.

Totally frozen greens and fairways today and even the mats were treacherous. The biggest issue once you had managed to stop a ball on the green was clearing all the ice and crap that people had kicked off their shoes! Quite a thick fog also, couldn't see the flags or if anyone was on the green at around 165 in! Didn't enjoy the conditions but good to get out of the house. I think it was borderline for it to be closed.
