Re: Silloth - Sat 2nd March 2012
course conditions update - I played today, heavy overnight frost so we were on temp greens. Nice day so that made up for the temps!
despite it being fairly dry of late, due to the very high water table the areas of standing water are only decreasing slowly and this is with the aid of pumps which are still on most days.
The main water affected areas are 6th green has been flooded and is currently off, it has been cut so it is likely to be back on soon but weather dependent obviously.
7th fairway has a standing water on the left hand side at driving distance, tee has been moved up.
10th has a carry over water off the tee, only a problem for the ladies.
11th has been on a temp green for a while due to large area of standing water short of the green, this hopefully should be back in play soon.
12th has been out of action for a while due to a lake in front of the green. Lake is shrinking and hole is playable, with luck should be back in play soon.
3rd has also had the tee rebuilt and is currently being played as a par 3 which is likely to be the case for the next few weeks.
The rest of the course is in good order although mats have been used off the tee for a while, these are placed in the normal teeing areas.
Difficult to say how much improvement in condition to expect between now and the meet, the weather is going to dictate that. All I can say is a lot of hard work is going on and it is in better nick than any other course in Cumbria.
I won't be be able to you any further updates before the meet due to going off on a ski holiday on sat but for those of you who are playing, enjoy.

It was this bit Kenny, I didn't know if it was referring to a particular hole/s or the course?

Re: Silloth - Sat 2nd March 2012
its a long trip for (nearly) everyone this, I am staying overnight, the course report (thanks SP) doesnt sound too encouraging, still over a wee kaway though so time for improvement

Re: Silloth - Sat 2nd March 2012
At over 4hrs each way and nearly 500 miles, I think I'm the furthest.
I know its March but I really want to play the course in as best condition as possible, mats and temp greens don't rock my boat.
I'll be watching the weather and keeping an eye on it, I know Stevie was interested so if it looks dodgy I'll contact him to see if he want to take over from me.
I thought these links courses were supposed to be the mustard :mmm:

I've had loads of problems for years so I wouldn't worry about it!

Sounds a bit like Palacerigg in Cumbernauld, mind you it would be a lot cheaper going there.
Have a good day I am sure it will be fine........

I can't see where its saying mats on the course..... there's also bound to be some green adjustments at this time of year. Think it will still be a worth while trip.... 3hrs for me..... so am going up a day early for a hill walk on the Fri :cheers: Oh yes... an drink in Penrith:smirk:
