Even more frustrating for me, sun is shining but course is closed for Midlands Youth Competition. No doubt the rain will be back once the course opens again on Saturday.

Just got back from playing 22 holes, The weather was great, just one really short light shower, I am even a bit pink! Got some rubbish weather over the weekend then looks like a decent week next week.

The Weather here is more than temperamental at the moment. Rain one day- and I mean really heavy rain, followed by hot, bright sunshine all day subsequently. This has happened on and off for the last week. I am hoping for some decent weather on Sunday though for a game I have planned with Viscount.

Was a really nice day here. Was going to go out this afternoon but to be honest was a bit lazy. Fancied the afternoon in front of the TV watching the Scottish Open instead. Went to the practice ground tonight and was surprised how dry and firm the ground was given the torrents yesterday.

Saturday looks like showers down here but Sunday looks good for Captains Day. Monday also looking good so I'm going to go up and have a game (any GM forummer fancying a game around 2.00pm please PM me)

Tell me about it.

Was due to play a match last night after work. Weather wasn't too bad for most of the day. As soon as I got in the car to drive home the heavens opened and it bounced it down!
Rang my playing partner when I got home, like me he didn't fancy getting soaked so the match was deferred until a later date.
Haven't hit a ball for several days now, getting fed up with this crap weather.
Roll on the holiday, heading for the sun with clubs in tow!

Got soaked on Saturday, again on Sunday (medal), again on Monday at Burnham Beeches, thunder and lightening too. Tuesday was dry, Wednesday rained off, yesterday was beautiful.

One good thing is that the course is looking the best I have ever seen it. The greens were starting to burn, but now, all is green, the fairways are lush, the rough is deep, but the bunkers are like concrete.
