18th Monifieth Medal

There were a good eight inches of snow covering this yesterday morning, couldn't believe how warm it was this afternoon or how quickly the snow had shifted.

Had a fair walk out on the Medal and it's largely in great nick - fairways are firm and pretty dry - they'll be playing here on Wednesday I'd guess.

Not so sure about the Ashludie - fair bit of water sitting on the 2nd and 7th, though where it's not covered with water it's firm - hoping for Saturday.

it was very warm here last night so much so i had one of our windows open, only a few days ago it was -12. 9 deg at lunchtime, all the snows gone, onlt the odd compacted icy patch on some shaded paths. still can't believe how quickly it warmed up

F&R?
played the kings this moring, heartbreaking what poor conditions its in and the damage on the course

got a game arranged for Nairn Friday and Sat
Fortrose thank goodness ?

It seems to be a free for all with people walking there dogs and kids, from the bedroom window at least, if people would just stick to the paths it would be ok.

not sure why that is, it wasn't like that quite as much at the old Torvean apart from the school kids from Charleston cutting across at home time on 13th

They are all stuck at home at the moment and it gets them out of the house probably!!
We normally hit the canal or up to the duck pond for our daily exercise.

It had better happen soon as boredom levels peaking at 10am isn't good for anything...especially my credit card...
Agree totally... it was about 10:30 when I needed to scratch my 'lockdown boredom' itch - walking the dog over the golf course makes it worse!

My walk most days is on the golf course, not as many members of the public venturing across the links as there were in the last lockdown when the courses were actually forced to close. The beach on the other hand has been really busy on the odd occasion I've wandered down there for a change.

Jealous of you getting out at Fortrose - hopefully I'll get a couple of rounds when I'm staying right on the course there in June (if they don't ban Scotland based holidays)

Ha ha.
The big red Dragon ? on the pointy end gave the ship away.

I haven't played there actually, will have to give it a try next time I'm down that way, I was a member at Yelvy.

The mast gave the course away :

Love Yelverton, if your down I’d always drive down to play either. Staddon has a few of our lads as members.
