It sounds just like winter golf. Will we still be playing off fairway mats?Golf on "rougher" courses, longer green heights, un-raked bunkers, they're really not selling this well.

I see the expert green keepers are out this afternoon......
Spoke to my mate who is on the county and he's not heard or seen anything coming through "official channels" to suggest that 11th May is/has been agreed. Will have to see but his words were "nonsense".
Maybe you heard from a better/more informed source and its still to be filtered down? At present I'm not convinced we will see anything happening.
Lots of courses have the ability for non members to book online, plus the various tee time sites where you also can pay in advance.
Very true.
Sometimes I just need to step away. On this occasion I shall.
All photos look like Augusta from a distance.I dont think they have to sell it well
The fact that courses would be open would be enough for most I'm sure.
Why would they be rougher? Looks to me like most courses I see pictures of are ready to go
And it really doesn't take long to cut 18 greens a couple of mm shorter.....
This is the correct action imo.Although we are on BRS and non-members can book tee-times using that, we have been told that it will be members only at first until the effects of any restriction on numbers can be assessed.
If the picture is taken from a height, distance, drone etc then I'd agree. When you are seeing multiple pictures, of various parts of the course, including the greens then you get a better idea. I, and others, are not claiming they will be ready tomorrow, but there seems enough evidence that some clubs are closer to ready than perhaps people may have expected.A few pictures of pretty, striped fairways seem sufficient to convince some people that their courses are going to resemble Augusta post lockdown.
What the course is actually like and what it looks like in a photo taken from a distance may well be two entirely different things.

What was the loft on the older putters?Longer cut, slower greens?
Great, give me a chance to go old school with a more lofted putter, be like playing from the days before Augusta Syndrome took over.

I like watching the old black and white films of a proper pop stroke.
It’s how hard they hit it for a short putt.
No, not rock up when you feel like it - there’s no common sense in that. If tee times are managed via the member login why do you need it to be managed at the 1st tee?Are you suggesting Members will be able to just rock up and play when they feel like then? Without any staff there to manage thr operation?
