For a man who plays over 100 rounds of golf a year it has been very frustrating with the weather systems that have hit us this year. Of course it is Winter and of course it is cold; but when you play in your loud and bright Royal & Awesome pants the cold and wet means nothing!

However with the snow and the deluge of rain it has been more than wet. The London Club has done a great job keeping the course open as much as they can and I am pleased that we seem now to be back open full time.

We are very spoilt with the fantastic ground staff who realise they can brighten the hardened golfer by keeping us on the greens and tees and never introducing temporaries; a huge boost! Of course there will be no run on the fairway, balls plugged in wet rough and you rely on good pitch repairs to keep the green pristine but the joy of a crisp, bright winter’s day takes some beating.

There is no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate clothing. It would be a shame to cover up the awesomely bright trews in the winter so my solution is to wear long johns under the pants and I stay colorful on the fairway.

As the field stride away in their black outfits looking like they are trying to deliver a box of chocolates you will make your statement and show your colourful character clearly on the course.

 

Keep warm, keep swinging and make sure you stay bright and cheerful!
