    We played a 15 hole scramble as it was our Captains Drive In on Sunday. A couple of short sharp showers but overall a good day compared to others recently. We hope to start our 18 hole competitions next weekend.

    Cant wait.

    Fad up of rainy, snowy and cloudy days. Want sunshine now with blossom season. Probably, I want to welcome spring in Japan but I don't think it is possible due to coronavirus.

    Finally hit a ball yesterday, but only at the range :( was hitting it well considering I hadn't swung a club in 2+ months.

    Its all very infuriating. After the appalling winter that we've had, we're now having a really run of things, but can't get out to play really with all the restrictions in place

    Don't assume everyone is a healthy 25 year old unimpacted.

    Folks laid off will be hesitant on subs or green fees, those of a certain elder age are self isolating, those of student age are self isolating, plenty of us working all hours as certain sectors are flat out and then there are the at-risk through underlying health....or those sacrificing their round of golf to avoid social interaction

    I am 100% in the group that is working flat out!! Thankfully.

    Also in a higher risk category but i have been enjoying the mental health benefits of weekend relese

    How much maintenance will they be allowed to do on them over the next couple of months? I'd be concerned they'll be a while getting them back to the standard they're currently at after all of this.

    It’s Murphy’s law that they best weather of the course war would come by when we are on lockdown. Hopefully we can get back out on the course again soon but I would reckon it will be June before that happens

    I'd love some more things to do around the house, I've done them all and if I could get the gear if the suppliers were open I'd do a lot more.

    Just looking at the monthly weather data from Met Eireann here; you can pick your nearest weather station from the map and get the data.

    The Phoenix park station recorded 2.6mm of rain so far in May, 13.6mm in April and 30.7mm in March. That's a total of less than two inches of rain in almost three months. :eek:

    Fair amount overnight, but it's only light now. Not out till 3pm, so it'll probably dry up.

    Don't care either way, playing golf today!
