im playing in the morning,the more wind the better.seperates the men from the boys.you would rarely see a soccer match or hurling match called off due to windy conditions

Do you know what - do we know too much about the weather - the night before yesterday - I was working out that 15 m/sec = 54 km/hour - :rolleyes:

For God sake - as a young lad you would wake up, pull curtains to see what mystery the day had in store. The only thing that would ever stop a game is a flooded pitch.

As others have said, are we golfers on here or not ? You live in Ireland get out and do it (Sorry self motivation speech over :P )

When I got to the course in morning - there was others saying , "I expected today to be called off" - I half did myself. Another lad laughed, how could you call off golf because of wind, your in Ireland .

And then we are off, have all the gear, if I didn't use it, why do I have it ? The only thing is my young soft skin was like this at end. - Any good tips from the seasoned lads ?

I'm not saying - I love playing in it - but I did love it yesterday - It is true, if you can hit your irons well - you are at a major , major advantage.

So a week of wind - twice in winners circle.

I wish I could work out how to use this game on a normal still day in june.

As The Big said - I love golf

Yesterday was very playable, bar the odd drizzle icing the hands, was great to get out, such a relief

I think I won crazy golf of the year today. 20 M/sec wind, played 13 practice in Corballis.
2nd hole 2 - 5 irons normally 2 - 9 irons.
the par 3 9th - normally a 6 iron - Full driver. (lol)

So was interesting to experience it, headed in as bag was just blowing over too much, and my bag is stable and heavy enough.

Not sure what I made of it, was more like an endurance test.

Got 5 pars, were sort of flukes / freaks.

Par on 9 , worth the day out, a first a driver to about 10 feet on a par 3.

A laugh - well strange.

You are officially crazy Fixed. Not sure what you are learning in conditions like that!!

That I am crazy.
1st step in any problem......

Hang on about 9 /10 others out.

I've done that kind of madness before, i remember playing in the west one year and RD1 of qual was cancelled (takes a lot for them to cxl) due to high winds, literally balls were being blown off greens at speed! so a few of us went out to play a few holes as they opened the course for casual play. Was some of the best fun ive had on a golf course, driver into the 4th and one of the ads hit his 3w onto the 18th.

Actually was a good move coz it was just as windy the next day so had a good idea what to expect!

So there will be frost tomorrow in Dublin I presume? Very cold tonight and not going to warm up much past a few degrees.

Tomorrow will be a little better than today. Today was perfect if you were on coast or a links.
Killeen Caslte was closed due to the sleet that had fallen.

But, if you do get out at all, looks a fantastic day for golf. Double up - socks and everything.
