Would you play with this forecast?

[ColchesterFC]

Simple question really. This is the forecast for Cromer on Wednesday. We're due to tee off at 8-30am. Nearly all of the holes run east to west or west to east so the wind will be across pretty much every hole. Would you be on the first tee or having a lay in?

We play to enjoy.
If you enjoy getting blown about by 40+ mph winds then fill yer boots.
Personally, I wouldn't.

if it aint chucking it down with rain as well ,then why not.

Yòure a long time dead - you'll wish you had played when you are up there watching!
of course you should play!

Should be challenging.

Playing at Cuddington on Wednesday. A mere 22mph with 40+mph gusts. A zephyr compared to the OP. I wouldn't play in the conditions described personally.

Played in similar conditions last week but with added rain.....broke and umbrella and played terrible. Won't bother again.

Never been convinced by this argument. Do you not have any other fun/interesting things you can do? I'd get the MTB out, or take the kids out for the day. Head up to the Lakes or hit the gym. Life is meant for other things than just golf.

Definitely play, played in winds like these a couple of times at the start of December and I loved both games. As long as 1) it isn't also raining 2) it's warm and 3) this isn't a qualifier, I say just go for it. You'll have low expectations and any sort of decent score is a bonus.

Are you going to do whatever the forum votes?

 

[Face breaker]

Yeah 'crack-on' it'll make for good practise if nothing else, I played a staff vs directors comp last Tuesday in winds of up to 40 with a bit of rain chucked in for good measure and the staff won so was well worth the graft in the end !...

Are you a man or a mouse?

 

[ger147]

No heavy rain forecast so would deffo be playing personally.

 

[Lump]

Whats the problem? Its forecast to be windy?….Just don't hit the ball high. simples

 

[Tashyboy]

Even though I check the BBC weather forecast before I play a round, that forecast will change. Having just seen the forecast on the telly there's every chance you could be playing a four ball with the Derbyshire mountain rescue team who seem to be earning there brass at the moment.
Sod that for a game of soldiers, rain no probs, wind no probs, wind and rain of biblical proportions, it's duvet time.

I'm playing at my course on Wednesday too and it's forecast to be windier than Cromer.
