Golf 2020



They’ve banned the use of them at South Shields for this very reason.

Played 18 this morning and it was pretty quiet, still a fair few on the course but nothing like a usual Saturday morning.
Near enough empty today, which even with the course still a squelchy mud bath is unheard of on a Saturday. A 2 ball a few holes in front, a 3 ball a couple of holes behind and another Billy no-mates 1 ball.

It's going to be a real challenge for clubs to keep going at this rate, no one in the clubhouse, minimal numbers of non-members paying on the day and courses fucked after the endless rain all winter.
 
Played Beamish today- it was pretty busy- car park pretty full and the guy in the club shop said he was run ragged..... Nice course too- greens need some sun but it’s a lush walk... £17.00 too

I think we’ll see the end of one or two clubs due to the situation which is a shame.

The weather hasn’t been an issue at Shields as it drains really well, we’ve had no temp greens or winter tees. The course has never closed once during the shite weather.
 
It was a better ball so 2 players score combined.
Today was individual and 47 won it!
The top 30 players all had more than 40 points.

To be fair we actually said yesterday that 60 would probably win.
Reason being it's a shorter winter course, winter rules mean you have to tee up on fairway AND in rough.
And then yesterday they brought in raised cups rule so all you have to do is hit the cup and it's classed as being holes.

It was weird to play in but at least it's getting people out swinging clubs.

One shot we watched on the 11th a lad had a 100 yard approach into the green. Totally thinned the ball and it went off like a rocket was probably going to be 70 yards past the green but it hit the cup on its way so was classed as an eagle 2 🤣
 
Played Close House this afternoon, 10 points going out.

walked off the 17th after doubling my back nine point score to ...4

Walked off the 18th with 14 points in total.

Left hip was in agony , but to be honest can’t put any blame on that , just shit golf.

Soul destroying at best.
