Just rang the course and it's fully open which is a surprise.
Looks like a nice day too, a little cold but bright and dry.

Seems a lot of people are playing part course, or on temps with fairway mats,

I've just done the front nine today as I got really cold even with my layers on. HimID and other playing partner have carried on. I can't feel my feet!

Cheers chellie - extra pair of socks going on before I head out to practice pitching and chipping then have nine holes - garden is frosted so greens might be a touch on the firm side.

Was really surprised at how cold I got. No frost and have played in much lower temperatures than this. Have a good game

I cycled this morning, chilly but dry down here. Rain forecast for later though 
golf in this weather aint golf, it's a walk in the country swinging your stick

Played yesterday in our Winter 4 ball comp and apart from a brief shower the weather was excellent, almost no wind at all. Drove the ball great and made a very tidy birdie on 7 which which was pleasing as I hadn't birdied that one before.

Played in the medal yesterday.
Course was open but very wet in places to the point we nearly lost one of my playing partners balls on the fairway after it plugged under the surface. I walked past it within 5 feet but didn't see it until I walked right along the line it had come in from and saw the very top of the ball shining white in it's bomb hole.
The greens were a total lottery as the grass is still growing well but it's too wet to get the mower to most of them so they aren't mowing at all.
It took me the entire front nine to get to grips with the conditions coming in 14 over par but had a good back nine only 6 over par with a double and a triple thrown in for good measure.
I do enjoy playing in the winter as much as the summer but I don't play if it's throwing it down and head for the range when it's like that.

Played 18 yesterday and just back from another 18 today, winter tees, but big greens. Course is amazingly dry considering all the rain we have had. We were just talking about this today and realise how thankful we are for the location of our course and the sandy base it was formed on.

Was up at our place this morning. All tees and greens open...I can't play at the moment, but plenty were taking advantage. Big hand to the green keepers, worked their socks off!

All good, played with 2 guys not met before, 28 points for the 14 holes played. Pretty cold and hands frozen by the end but good to be out and who knows when we will next , got to grab these chances

Our short course is now even shorter as all temps. Almost felt like it wasn't worth putting my shoes on for but we had a laugh and I won £2 so can't complain! I agree it felt colder than the temperature suggested but didn't seem worth starting a handwarmer which would have been hot just as we were back in the clubhouse!

Our front nine was back open today so I went to play with the roll up group. TBH, apart from a couple of puddles the front nine is fine and perfectly playable. The lower lying back nine may take a week of fairly dry weather to dry out though.

Full course although over the winter can only play off the yellows. Very happy as a slight swing change on Monday. Been too the range twice during the week. Shot 36 points with 3 blobs 
But have let other parts off my game go. So need to re-evaluate by practice sessions

Played 14 this morning before diving for cover as it started to rain again.
All on temps, but walked onto quite a few greens to have a look and everyone could have been used, only 1 green had water in the cup - rather annoying really.

Played the front nine today - full course, very good condition considering rain yesterday afternoon and overnight frost - not taking range hitting to the course on a consistent basis yet but not bothered about it at this stage, it'll come.

Only one course open in my area and that should not be but they are money grabbing so never close regardless of the conditions. Went over and had a look yesterday and it was a joke, standing water everywhere and the temp tee area's were a mud bath. So did not bother and had another downpour today as well. So made the decision I am going back to college 3 weeks earlier than scheduled as they have indoor facilities to use. Cannot see anyone getting a decent game of golf round here for the rest of Jan and maybe Feb as well
