When will it end?

Hit the practice ground today. Wind was bitter and it was a tad soul destroying but got some good work done on pitching and chipping using the linear method. Course, well the front nine, looked to be holding up ok but would have been hard as the wind was still pretty strong. All things considered we could be a lot worse off

Played today here in sunny Florida.
Wore 5 layers, winter gloves and fleece headband and was still cold!

Good!

And remember - Most of the people who retire in Florida are wrinkly and they lean on a crutch!

All our winter comps have officially been suspended until we can play 18 holes - and only then will decision be made on when next rounds to be played by and subsequent rounds rescheduled. This could be well into March the way things are going. Nice day today so would have helped course dry out on the surface - but another deluge it seems forecast for tonight and tomorrow - so back to where we started today. If we could only get a consecutive handful of days dry we'd be getting there - but that doesn't seem on the cards for a fair bit.

Not looking good for the weekend but on the plus side, next week's forecast, at least for now, is looking a whole lot better. Fingers crossed they are right

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Just as I get dressed ready for my 12noon tee time, it starts raining and the trees look like their at 45 degree angles!

 

[USER1999]

I must be odd, because I want it to rain here, so the course is closed tomorrow.

 

[Fish]

I must be odd.

No arguments from here :rofl:

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Even the roof of the range started leaking on me today

 

[pokerjoke]

My winter league got cancelled as it was chucking it down at 12noon so I went into the club for a beer, around 1pm the rain stopped and a few lads who were hovering said, lets go for it, so we did!

10 hole comp was agreed amongst ourselves as 2 x 3-balls, best 2 scores to count and all 3 to score on the par3's.

My 3-ball nailed it with 58 points over the 10 holes and took the money in some testing conditions, that's 12 under

Although I blobbed the 1st and then double bogied the 2nd, I then went on to get 4 pars and a birdie to score 24 points over the 10 holes

Just what I needed prior to my trip to B&B :thup:

Which one. I was at Downshire this afternoon hitting balls to warm up before trying the I25's. Rain blowing into the bay, gale force winds and the ball going nowhere.

We closed this afternoon. Hopefully will be ok for foursomes match on Sunday. Blowing a gale Surrey/Hants border at the moment, and the lights are flicking on and off. Now where are those candles ?

 

[G1BB0]

lesson cancelled tonight due to the weather, rearranged for wednesday. Blowing a hoolie outside at the mo, not pleasant at all!

 

[GB72]

Still on a composite 14 hole course today. Miracle that they have managed that. Rain and strong winds at the moment. If the course is open the weather needs to calm down a bit before I consider playing.

 

[fundy]

Just driven home from Luton to MK, geez that was a bit hairy. Hard to believe how much debris is down and a fair few trees gone, dread to think how some must be faring, hope everyone is home safe and there isnt too much damage

2nd Saturday in a row: Closed.

Nothing you can do about it but during the week the status has been changed during the day on a couple of occasions. Yet here we are on Saturday, the forecast looks dry and it hasn't rained much overnight so there's every chance the front nine will be playable at some point. But today, as last Saturday, the course has been closed for the day after the 7am inspection, this time citing both the rain and strong winds. Yesterday we also had strong winds yet were just advised to be careful. You would have thought on the busiest day of the week there would be another review around lunchtime would you not?
