Nope, wouldn't be out today in the wind we have, bit pointless. Okay some holes would be a lot shorter, but others would be very very long. Played in very very strong winds at Siloth on my first forum society meet, that was not fun.

No if there is a weather warning it’s to windy to play golf
No, plenty of other days to play. Today would be silly up here, pointless.

Certainly not today, trees down all over the local area, couple of lorries blown over and if the tide is in I wouldn't risk getting my car damaged with flying rocks on the coast road to Silloth!
Believe the wind is around 60 mph this afternoon with gusts locally as high as 86 mph.

Yes it’s not enjoyable playing with too much wind, I played in a comp. Saturday in 35mph winds which was no fun.

Interested to know what kind of wind speed you call 4club wind.

Seems like it would be a frustrating waste of time really.

I wouldn't be out in this weather. In the West of Scotland it is very high winds with gusts up to above 50 or 60 mph in Glasgow, never mind out of the town or on the coast.
Trees down all over the place and I can't imagine enjoying any sort of golf.
If there was a competition on I guess the course would be closed and they wouldn't give people the option.

No idea in terms of wind speed (or even what the wind speed is in the UK right now) Just called family on whatsapp and she says I couldn't play golf in it

In sunny Shropshire gusts about 35-50(calming down to lower end now), played fun golf in that kind of wind and would again, a great laugh.
Certainly not a day for scoring but just playing with the ball flight and wind , get out their Mr Crazyface

Oh your right there, we started comp Saturday in 35 mph winds got on 2nd tee which is a part 3 got blast of wind just before shower and probably gusting to 40mph hard to stand still and duffed tee shot 15 yards. Ended up with a 6, struggled for rest round ended up in bunker on 18 not in the best of moods by then and just stepped in and swiped at the ball, funnily enough it came out ok.
107 shots later I was glad to go in for a pint
