Winter golf....absolutely pointless...tell me otherwise.

I have fond memories of Nairn GC and all the others in the area from whence I were a lad, loved all the courses round there, Royal Tarlair, Hopeman, Lossie, Cullen, Banff, happy memories, none of which were in the depth of Winter mind

most of those are well east of me, but will probably be rejoining Moray as a country member next year, now my Tain cheap deal will have run out.

So today we pegged it up with winter greens and concrete hard fairways where the slightest of shot short ran 40 past the flag, and that's called fun ? Yes better than sitting in the house but that's no golf by any stretch.

So we played today on a full length course from proper tees on proper greens which were running quite fast for this time of the year. The snow we had on Thursday only melted yesterday, when we were on temps for the first time this winter. Up on the limestone hills, there can't be a better course to play all year round. Most of the neighbouring courses are closed or on temps. We saw quite a few of their members today.

We are still closed Bill and tomorrow looking no better. SSGC certainly in good shape at the moment.

Played (of a fashion) today. Shouldn't as the back is still not good but I couldn't believe how dry it was for the time of year and how well the greens were running. Very impressed

Not as cold as I thought it would be, in fact had to take off a jumper. Hardly a breath of wind which is rare these days. Course was dry, and some decent run. Heathland courses are the way forward in winter.

It was indeed a great morning for golf. No wind, course in great nick. Shame I didn't take a functional golf swing with me!! On the plus side, my chipping and putting is in great shape, as I'm having to up and down everything for bogies/doubles these days!
