Hi Folks
I live in the Manchester which is the north west of England and right now it is really living up to its reputation ( rained for 10 days solid). Now myself and three other work mates who make up our regular 4 ball, all work 12 hour nightshift on a 4-on 4-off rota . becuase of the high stress involved in our jobs we decided our only outlet ( apart from drinking and the usual puch-up) would be to take our golf more seriously than in the past. so, we decided ,last autumn, that we would play every week , right through the winter.
We have braved Hail, gales, rain, gales and rain, gales and hail, snow, sub zero frost,thunder and lightning, and more rain. We never cancelled and we always played a full 18 holes. but after a long winter and the last ten days of solid rain we all threw in the towel and said enough is enough.
by the way, if you ever play in a lightning storm.....Tee off with a 1 iron, even god can't hit a 1 iron
.
What i would like to know is , what is the worst weather you guys have played in and at what point did you say " sod this i'm off to the pub ".?
i would love to hear your bad weather tales so get back to me.
Regards .....Terry
