Ohariu Valley Golf Club

It is currently minus 1 on course at the moment.

Course will open around 10.30am

In case you hadn't noticed - it's cold and wet

The greenkeeper has had a look around
The ground is sodden, it will be slippery
Currently drizzling more showers are forecast

Course is closed today (5th Aug)

It's freezing again at the course so I'm reusing yesterday's photo.

Course will open at 10.30

Here is a post I don't like to make

While playing yesterday morning one of our younger members walking down number 8 slipped and badly hurt his leg.

By chance a paramedic was at the course and helped out until his on-duty colleagues arrived in the work vehicle.
This was followed by a ride in the ambulance, a wait at A&E and now a wait for an operation in a month or so.
Obviously this also means no golf for a while.

The moral of this story, PLEASE WEAR GOLF SHOES, especially at this time of year. We don't want any more ambulance visits.

Yeah it's cold

Course closed until 10.30

It's cold again this morning

Course Closed until 10.30 to let the grass thaw

Course open again
Be careful walking down the hills and playing in sneakers would be a stupid idea

I had a walk around the course
Greens are under water, ground is sodden
A small stream is running down the middle on the 1st.

Course closed
It's not looking good for Sunday either

If you were wondering what ever happened to that Ultra Distance ball that you hit into the Blue Spruce trees between the 5th and 6th fairways - we found it.

As my tree growth ring reading skills are a bit lacking, I have no idea how long it was there and we did nick it with a chainsaw so you wouldn't want to putt with it anymore.

Oddly enough, while we getting ready to start sawing, this very phenomenon came up conversation.

Basically it is 'cold enough to freeze the nuts off a Land Rover' this morning.

Course closed till 10.30 to let the grass thaw.
