For the first time in a long while, I can see patches of grass in my garden, the temp is up a bit and the rain is coming down

Today is the day we say goodbye to the snow....and hello golf !

Maybe in a day or two I should start a new thread about how wet the golf course isand how it is un-playable!

yup, sure they will all be a bit wet, hopefully they will have the sense to stay shut for a few days until some of the water drains away.

shame here in the east mids the snow is now rain! more water

Lewis,

the sun is coming on Sunday & as you say the temp is going to get to a whopping 8 or 9 degrees!!

Most of our courses are still closed, even though the snow has been gone from here since Monday. Now, like Lewis and Darren have said, it's surface water that is causing the closures.

Heavy rain and wind are forecast for Saturday.

I can only assume Darren has been thinking of playing or arranging games over the last few weeks. There can't be any other explanation for all this terrible weather.

Forget global warming. It's Darren (I think I'll play golf) Ramowskis' fault 

Darren,

Please don't arrange any games for next week, I'm due to go down to Celtic Manor for a few days & need the snow to go & the sun to shine!!

Were booked in for 11:30 on Sunday I canny wait.

Mr Flood..Are you trying to lose your Mysteron roots?

Only bona fide Southern softies are allowed in the Spectrum gang

PW - Spoke to Celtic & they are planning to re-open on Tuesday

DM - Is this better?

@ Paul W,

you got room for 2 more?????

On Sunday, I'll ask the ranger watch this space.....

Blue, Floody's just another one of the likely defectors.

after this years thrashing they will be begging to be in our gang. There'll only be Santo left in the North team

See you Sunday.

JF - I can sense a pairs match for Sunday, fancy a small wager PW?

Try to Paul Newman us already, Cheeky bugger Oh go on then, What did you have in mind?

I'm sure we can sort something out 3/4 hcp matchplay, better ball.

I'm struggling to play to my full handicap at the moment, let alone 3/4

Excuses already I'm ok with full handicap as its only gonna be a few shots!

I don't mind now its not on their home track as West Mids is good birdie territory!!!

I don't know why you don't all play level.

John Dont you start , After coming back from my back injury I've got no chance playing scratch against Mr Consistency Floody.

Paul, you don't realise how much it would focus your mind on the game. Believe me.

You have a goal of beating Mr consistency himself without strokes, think of the kudos if you could do that.

Thanks for the mention guys, glad I'm such a threat!! (not)

Good suggestion JP and it certainly focus's the mind

Even tiny ones

Personally I find that if I am giving shots away it has the same effect, I focus more & feel a real achievement if I win.

 I think there could be an opportunity here for someone to open a book & get the bets flowing

Ill have a tenner on you John

Mr Ley,

That coming from an intelligent guy who cant chip for toffee, Reminds me of the lad at the Jo-berg open, putting from 20ft off the green as his chippings so dire...

No need to bring yourself into the conversation, Santo will sort you out, Don't worry.

JP, Hope Mrs JP gets better soon.

Paul.

Thank you, Paul, much appreciated.
