Storm stuff

A team comp was cancelled at mine for this morning but the web site says the course is open. I'd have thought that the gale force winds would be strong enough on a tree lined course to close for health and safety reasons alone.

Apparently a tree has come down next to our 8th winter tee so definitely right decision today to close for H&S , lots of other clubs in vicinity have also closed for H&S
 
We are open, but requested to be sensible, and not play. Course will not be held responsible etc.

Another tree just come down outside my house. Mrs Mogs called this one last night, and it came down across the road 20 minutes ago. Luckily no damage to cars.
 
The directors took the decision yesterday to close our course today under duty of care. I have no problem with that, it's not as if you can even play golf in winds 50mph and more.
Potering at home, enjoying the warmth and coffee:).
 
It was announced on Friday afternoon that all the Royal Parks would be closed today
No real reason for any golf club to be open when winds reach these strengths
 
Yet we had some members throw their toys out when the course was closed despite trees being down on the course and the weather getting worse - same as when the fog was bad during the week - it’s not as if they aren’t going to get a game again soon.

Seems they went to the local mud and slog place that will open any day of the week regardless

I do like our british way of thinking ...

Storm predicted for a week

Warnings about avoid travel unless necessary

Plenty of time to re arrange things

Yet let's carry on as normal and only decide that morning to possible change the plans

If the league games get called off today it's a disgrace. Should have been called off Friday to allow fans a chance to not be half stuck.

Would it be better/worse if the Gov took the decision away from private sector?

Here we have a storm/cyclone severity system with 70mph gusts/winds being the main trigger measure and at certain levels/time to a storm hitting the Gov will set the alert status leading up to a storm and the public have to follow the measures set in the warning system i.e at level 2 schools close & most public sector workers go home, no if's or but's; level 3 all public transport will cease within 3 hours, virtually all private sector go home, travel is restricted after that time, car insurance not valid if out driving etc etc, remains in place until Gov give the all clear

i wont list all measures but do you think mandated storm actions would be better?

I think thats a great idea, the british public are clueless in the main what to do when faced with bad weather.. if the gov guided them might help

Jesus that's a clean up job and a half. Hopefully nobody was hurt, saving grace though at least it fell outward and not onto the conservatory.

Not the nicest of weather to be cleaning up a ton of bricks either!

Their dog isn't gonna be allowed into the garden for a few weeks either

Your right least the house is ok

Good job nobody was walking past

That's right where we park to walk little lady in
