    Got out at 7:15 and played 18 holes in 2hrs15mins. Granted I did walk quickly between shots but I wasn't overly rushing and didn't have to look for balls. I did take a few practice chips after poor shots around the greens. No one for eight holes behind me and I never even got in the way of the greenkeepers so the course was all mine, can't beat it.

    Shut up, shut up, shut up!

    Imprisoned in my office for the day, looking out at the brilliant blue sky and Galway Bay glistening in the distance. I'd give anything to be on a golf course now...I'd even settle for the range!

    Due to play Saturday and Sunday, but looking at the forecast Saturday isn't looking great and if I get out on Sunday I'll be taking the wet gear and underarmor out of hibernation.

    Bum :(

    Looks like the golfing gods are annoyed with us for the second week in a row. You couldn't plan it any worse. Rain due this evening and more or less down for the weekend.

    Probably too late for you now but I'm just back from playing BlackBush in Dunshaughlin. Course was closed earlier this morning but reopened at 08:00 and open singles competition went ahead. Course was playable although very wet with a good bit of casual water early on in the round. Bunkers were the biggest problem with some of them closed and others having casual water resulting in dropped balls in the bunkers plugging. Turned out to be a decent morning although it's hammering down heavy rain now again.

    Surprised Corvallis was closed, you'd think if any place had a chance of being open it would be a links.

    Well hopefully that was the last of it.

    Was out today with Poppy - was at edge of playable - think I only had 3 pars and 1 bird - bogies and more for rest. Was near impossible to hold ball against wind. Was crazy stuff - but enjoyable all the same.

    Think that is the end of that tonight.

    Had winter hats on in August.

    Got caught in a thunder and lightning storm earlier on, not were you want to be when there's lightning. Got absolutely soaked. Playing quite good until the rain came. Game fell to pieces after. Was just miserable :(

    If you're ever caught in thunder storm again hold up a 1 iron, even God couldn't hit one of those.

    I haven't played in about three weeks and am very much looking forward to getting out on Sunday morning. Just had a look at the charts and reviewed a few forecasts and frost is looking like a distinct possibility! :(

    Whatever about rain, I doubt frost will be an issue.
