Sorry, location would have helped. Brighton
Windy, heavy showers and rumbles of thunder. Glad I'm on my sabbatical to sort the wife out. That and I've woken up with very sore neck and knotted shoulder. Was suppose to go to the shops. Thank god for the internet and in laws

Well, we donned waterproofs and went out for a quick nine as no thunder. Only us and four others on the course. Worth going out just to finish Par and Bogey on the 17th and 18th as they've been my nemesis holes for a few rounds.

what does it normally do

This is not Glasgow Colin, we quite often get this thing called "light rain" or a "shower" but today to clarify for you, this morning was like Scottish rain.

You made the right decision Robin, I only had a bounce game booked and we decided last night to cancel, wise move as it was lovely till 9am here then it just went mental, no thunder and lightning but the rain was biblical.

Sod's Law!
After the responses to my "sad tale" post earlier this week I decided to take the advice to just have fun so as it wasn't raining I chucked the clubs in the car and off I went.
Nine mile journey to the club, got the clubs out (sky now starting to look ominous) went into locker room to change shoes (brownie point!), emerged from locker room to find Bertha was, by now, playing at our club.
Reversed the above procedure and have been bored out of my skull ever since. Just hope the re-ignited enthusiasm does not die away.

Went out at 9 this morning, only rained on the last 3 holes, but it was heavy, got nowt at the minute, though it is supposed to come down in buckets later with the wind picking up.

It's spitting rain here at the moment, but certainly nothing that would make me think twice about going out if I wasn't busy - my missus debated whether to go out in the ladies medal this morning but got round dry. I was out photographing amateur football for the paper at lunchtime for a couple of hours at lunchtime - not the glorious sunshine of yesterday but no jacket required.
We'll probably get heavy rain during the night - that seems to be the current pattern here

No need to pray for me, most of the detritus is now in the next County......

Didn't play today which is just as well. I was working last night, got home at 5 and was woken at about 930 by an almighty thunderstorm.

even more fun when I got hit in the chest by a ball off the 13th tee lol, been one of them days!!!!!
we must try and get a game some time soon, with little bro too if poss
Bertha was a bit of a damp squib in our area (West Hertfordshire)! Just a normal UK wet and windy morning. I played 18 holes in a medal competition, wearing my waterproofs for the first time for months after all the nice sunny weather we have been enjoying this summer.

August medal today, I was out at 1215 in what started out as a light drizzle. We played the first two holes ok, then crossing to the third tee the cloud just burst and the rain fairly fizzed down.
Got through 3 and 4, but could barely hold onto the club, even with wet-weather gloves. Drove off on 5, planked my ball OOB with second shot and said 'sod it' .. came off off after 4 holes; walking back in, and the greens were quite quickly flooding out, and it looked as if the group waiting to go out on the first thought better of it and turned in.
No fun in that sort of weather.
