Just ironed my shorts for Turnberry ️
Family made it to us, roads all clearing by all accounts, snow on fields, but not the roads.

We’re not playing on the roads 
Where?
Morpeth, Northumberland, about 15 miles north of Newcastle. I know Rudebhoy is not far away, Whitley Bay, so I was enthused by his comments of a thaw. Not happening here but he is on the coast so it is usually a degree or two warmer than inland in the winter. The weather is on the edge of rain or snow and a degree or two difference is all you need.
When are you lads going to Turnbery?
The committee decided they were fed up with people complaining the course should be open when it was closed, or vice versa, so they decided to "let the course police itself" in their words. The view is that if the course is really bad, no-one will want to play it, so no real harm done.
Not a decision I agree with, but there you go.
When are you lads going to Turnbery?
Yes, there’s a couple of other local clubs have the same rule
I still find it daft, just means people are out there playing when the courses should be shut, committee scared to shut courses, Incase members leave, all to the detriment of the course.
The course pays the price
Takes longer to recover and get right for the season
I can’t see me getting a game until the Silloth forum meet on 16th.....
The Grove looked open today. Snow all gone, pins back in. Pro shop open. Went to the stables restaurant for lunch, so walked up the drive. The course looked a touch wet though, playable, but not in the A1 condition it normally is. No surprise given the snow.
How was lunch? They do some fantastic food in the Stables. Were there many playing?
No one playing. Lunch was nice, but expensive. That said, been there before, so no surprise. Its a nice place to walk to. Can have a few beers, no need to drive.
