Even ours fairways are getting squidgy and we've only had 37mm so far this month. Dave, S.Essex |

My course was closed due to waterlogging today :-( . Yesterday here was
beautiful - it was 7.8 oC max at 14:00 but no wind - spent the day in the garden clearing up - very spring like. Today would be great golfing weather - no wind, no sun, 6.7oC at 15:00 but course closed . Hillsborough, N.I. 420' asl. !!! "Dave Cornwell" wrote in message .uk... "Will Hand" wrote in message ...

Even ours fairways are getting squidgy and we've only had 37mm so far this month. Dave, S.Essex A bit wet underfoot this morning but no great problem. Our course doesn't get muddy and there was no standing water on the greens. I played on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this week and didn't need waterproofs on any of the days. Cloudy weather is better than sunny weather at this time of year due to the low sun angle. Norman. -- Norman Lynagh Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire 85m a.s.l. (remove "thisbit" twice to e-mail) |

Dave, S.Essex I have had 82mm in St Albans but the ground is very free draining - one of the benefits of living on gravelly soil. The Batchwood golf course was in full use this morning without any obvious pools of water. The main problem would be the drizzle that has started again this afternoon. Alan St Albans |

It might be over 14c - but it is damp, overcast and dull - utterly awful. Whatever happened to our crisp, January days of sun, 5c and no wind... Those days are long gone as our met office forecasters always cheerily put it 'mild, cloudy & damp for the foreseeable future' -- Graham |

Suits me fine - have been struggling with a virus of late and at least the mild weather makes it more pleasant going out. It would be hell going out in 1c and 10mph wind at the moment...
