I have a nice one tomorrow! Walking with Caddies at Canterbury CC. Epic old club with lots of tradition. I hope it doesn’t rain to much today, love to get that Heathland in cherry condition. BB

I was playing yesterday before tweaking my back and I was shocked at the water issue since it hadn't rained where I had been the day before. I stopped by windmill lakes today and was surprised on my drive in that I didn't see more water. It seems the rain is now very localized but today looks good.

Like someone turned the dial to Max Heat now with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's, but the humidity drives the heat index closer to 100.

A few farmers here finally got corn and beans in, and some fields are fallow. Browning has started on parts of my course and hardpan in some spots. The remnant of Tropical Depression Barry should hit us by Tuesday, so I hope the courses here get a decent soaking.

Windmill has been very wet. Played it 3 times this year and rough was way up up, they couldn't mow. Lots of plugged balls fairway or rough. Like the layout but curses on the lousy drainage.

Old thread I know, but When I think of Windmill, I always think “what if?” I don’t think I’ve ever played it dry and I’ve lived near it my entire life. First time on a course was there when I was 5 with my dad. The greens are tricky and undulating but it always plays longer than the card

In the day when Windy was dry it was championship caliber track, very good. It’s deteriorated and the greens aren’t even close to days gone by but it’s still a fun track. It can however be VERY wet. BB

I couldn’t agree more used to be a diamond in the rough now it can be in rough shape.

Played yesterday in Ohio.

About 43 degrees, occasional showers, wind around 18 mph with 40 mph gust..

 

Sprinkled every now and then, but not that bad.. Nobody showed up at the course, so I had the course all to myself.

Walked a 9 playing 3 balls.. It's was amazing.. I had to take 2 additional clubs, when facing the wind..

oh yeah, found 2 dozen premium balls and 3 dozen practice balls..

 

Going to try to play tomorrow (Monday).. it's going to be in high 20s/low 30s..

Saturday was the first day in a while that I was able to get out. The back nine was closed(rain,) so I walked the front. The wind made it very cold. I am going to take a break from golf until the weather is more agreeable to this old body.

I’m not in Ohio. I’m in Northern Ky about 10 miles from downtown Cincinnati. Weather had been warm but less than favorable for golf. It rains nearly every single Fri-Sunday. Not a mist, downpour after downpour so it’s only simulator golf for me.

Nice looking wedges!

I ended up playing Saturday at my home course (Cassel Hills). Played pretty well and also got to test out my new pushcart for the first time.

Played my course on Sunday. Gave up after the first nine. From the state of it they are going to be lucky to be up to scratch by the start of the competition season in April. It's been a shockingly wet autumn/winter here and just when it looked like it was finally drying up the rain has come back.

Last I heard the local water company is claiming 50% more rain than normal over the last six months. Still it could be worse - the poor people over on the western edge are really suffering.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/feb/23/uk-weather-flooded-communities-warned-of-more-heavy-rain

I thought we were making progress but it's two steps forward, one step back. We had quite a lot of rain last night but at least when it's not raining the sun is now shining and we're - just about - getting temps in double digits. Grass is growing and some trees are starting to bud so hopefully that will help draw moisture out of the ground.
