Thank god I went away for Easter otherwise I'd have seen no sun this year

Well I know that I have expressed some scepticism to them about the amount of water trees suck up in winter…as deciduous trees drop their leaves in winter to minimise transpiration and preserve their internal water supply; if they continued to suck up water as in rest of the year maybe they wouldn’t have to drop their leaves? But it seems that these folks have decided that there is a direct correlation between tree removal on a hole and a saturated area of fairway where historically it hadn’t been

You could also tell them that tree roots naturally search out water and therefore drainage lines and routes are where they often go, so the presence of some trees will counteract a lot of drainage work that has been done.

It was nice and warm last weekend, looks to be nice today as well and hopefully into this weekend. Still a couple of spots of rain predicted though. March and April were pretty horrendous, there's no doubt about that.

So I was wrong, apparently rain is predicted this weekend. Very warm today though.

Down here in sunny SW Scotland it has been a pretty good spring so far.
Very little rain and wind, mainly sunny but not exactly roasting.
Golf courses are looking great.

Been nice down here today and yesterday...a bit of breeze holding the temps down a bit but most pleasant
Going to start raining tomorrow lunchtime and stop in about June.......

If you'd listened the forecast for SE Wales today you'd have stayed in after lunch.

No rain here yet at all. But its quite dark looking west!

It’s not been particularly wet near me in the last couple of weeks. But it’s just not warming up. I’ve played only a few holes in a t-shirt so far this year and the shorts are yet to see the light of day. I usually wear them from early April through to October on the course, my rationale being that waterproofs over trousers are too warm.

And the lawn has only needed two cuts so far.

Only 2 cuts. I’m cutting the bowling greens 3 times a week.

5 mm of rain overnight and still chucking it down now. Mud balls for a few more weeks then

 

[Crazyface]

It's stopped raining. Got a time and I've played. But the forecast is for rain all week and a quick chat to our pro and he said that the County golf have rules lift and place on fairways until the end of the month!!!! Very squelchy on the back nine (flood plain).

 

[IanM]

Decent day here today. Tomorrow's forecast is not pleasant

 

[Imurg]

Glorious day today.....Armageddon tomorrow.
Deluges due from 9 so a 5.30 start should just beat it......

 

[Crazyface]

Still raining.......

 

[arnieboy]

Forecasters suggested thundery showers all day, we have had nothing but warm sunshine on the South Coast.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Finally some much needed rain.
A downpour for about 3 hours on Monday night brought the garden back to life.
Lots of sunshine but no real warmth yet.
I'll settle for that.
