Wooly hat time

[USER1999]

Played (well, almost) last Saturday in glorious sunshine. Pigging cold at 0800, but sunny. Was quite nice by 10 o clock. Course is in ok nick (til they drill and fill on the 11th), but the leaves are falling, and the rough is getting long, wet, and hard to escape from. The bunkers are like mud too.

Kind of got the impression that winter golf is coming, sooner rather than later.
Weather today looks cold, damp and grey, and set for the week. Playing on Friday if a mates gout has sorted itself out.

Have put my wooly hat and mitts back in the bag for the weekend, along with the goretex, and the umbrella.

Summer's gone, again.

Summer's gone, again.

Yep, I had my underarmour on on Saturday for the first time since March. It was 5 celcius when I left the house

It's when you feel the chill in the wind that you know winter's approaching. I can stand the cold and a bit of light rain but it's that chill wind that really spoils the enjoyment.

Had my wooley hat on sunday and full waterproofs. It wasn't raining. Gloomy days are here!

Played Golspie on Saturday morning, chilly to start but a lovely day after that, bright sunshine.

Sunday at Muir of Ord, had one of those long sleeve undervests on to start with but had to take if off after 2 holes boiling.

That's what a diet of Mars coated in chip fat does for you.

Not up here its not, Whisky

Only ever seen Deep Fried Mars bars once and that was in the Boarders, and they are all English anyway

Patrick I agree, your a real Scot, 100%!

Anyway back on track, this big poof here had wooly hat and mitts on playing the Old Course (had to get that in again!!) on Saturday! What a big poofta, but as JF says when that chill wind blows boy is it brass monkeys time!

Aye Right enough!



We are having a right heatwave at the moment, today it must be at least 10 deg

 

[grumpyjock]

A bit like Spey Valley in April then!

 

[Imurg]

Played Friday and Monday in the rain and although uncomfortable it was never really cold. Today its just grey - not too cold at all.
Winter's coming though. Wont be long.

Um, we had rolling over last week.

I better get my summer duffel coat back out of the cupboard then.

Golspie had preferred lies on Saturday for their open. More to do with worm casts on some of the holes rather than bad weather.

 

[USER1999]

Ours was due to scarifying trhe fairways more than anything else.

The LJ's are coming back out once I get a new button put on the thunder patch.

I'm getting the under armour's ready although I'm confident it'll be a few weeks yet. I might need a bobble hat soon if we get a few clear nights (so not this week then) but reckon it'll only be on for a few holes
