        What’s it like POP??

        I played golf yesterday on a course with really good drainage and it was a complete bog. Surely most of the course is on the real soft side of soft

          Well..my view knowing nothing obviously is that the fresh ground will be quite good rather than heavy. Definitely.

                        No I played Woodlakes near Usk, I’ve never seen it boggy like it was yesterday, it was like a swamp and I know every other course in the area is struggling which is why I can’t get my head around Cheltenham being any where near good to soft as it’s only an hour away. Even if the course is in decent condition the car parking is going to be chaotic if it rains again today!!

                          A golf course would not have the undersoil drainage that Cheltenham has, it was relaid only a few years back.
                          That is why the cross country is heavy, no undersoil has been laid there.
