I've taken the day off work today to play. It's belted down all night and still going strong now. This on top of an already high water table. I'm sat here waiting for the phone to ping telling me the course is closed 😥
This weather?!?!

I've got this Monday off for golf as well as I have leave to use up. "Clouds giving way to some sun with a shower" with 20% chance of thunderstorms according to Accuweather. They've really hedges their bets there, could be literally anything.

Absolute deluge last night. Hopefully dry between now and the comp on Sunday.
How does that actually work? We can all grumble about inadequate drainage but unless all of the tee boxes, fairways and greens are raised and domed then draining 2m of water is bonkers. Is the course a beach?

A few of us went away last weekend (been booked for a while), touch and go whether the course would be open but confirmed ok on Saturday morning. Turned up for round 2 on Sunday and it was closed. Bloody nightmare.
I’ve now finally got my hcp through and so I can actually play in tomorrow’s comp. Lashed it down last night, back 9 closed today. Meant to chuck it down again later so could well put paid to my competitive debut 🤦ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸

No idea to be honest, but their website closes them for one day, and opens the next with some restrictions. They're not particularly mountainous in Yokohama, but they had a shed load of rain with that typhoon last weekend, and us Brits are all complaining over a couple of inches
Fair play to them. 2m is mad though, not just for a golf course but for anywhere.No idea to be honest, but their website closes them for one day, and opens the next with some restrictions.

Chucked it down all night again and my course is closed today yet again (not that I was getting to play anyway). Think it's been closed more than it's been open the last 3 weeks.

Course fully open still, including buggies. Chucked it down last night though and a few areas already a bit squelchy so will be interesting this weekend unless the wind dries it out. Definitely no roll
Lovely here today, though it was a bit chilly first thing

For once Ireland and Scotland must be getting the better weather. Nice and crisp here today. Going to head out for a few holes later.

Man flu prevented me from heading down, was full of good intentions until this floored me last night. Weather is great here too.
Coughing and spluttering, hopefully feel decent enough for tomorrow's medal.

No he didn’t, he cancelled on me, made some poor excuse about Burgham being closed.
No, it was horrible. I don't know if it was better down your way but it belted it down all night and morning. Every course up here will have been closed today unless they are a links and even then there would have been no fun it it.
I had a better offer 🤣🤣No he didn’t, he cancelled on me, made some poor excuse about Burgham being closed.

Got out last night and worked hard on my short game. Felt like it was a wasted session and very disappointed by the quality. Fast forward to today and played and short game on point. The course was still wet in places but the green staff have done wonders especially in the bunkers. The wind picked up and hopefully will dry the course further. I really could do with a few yards of run
