Should be winter rules with preferred lies, though only on the fairways.

The 5th was almost completely a lake so you needed a 400 yard plus drive to clear the water!

Hi
No Britain is not flooding but perhaps much of England is. Up here in Scotland we are doing ok and have had much less rain than down in England. The news on TV is typical and shows much of England but had this happened north of the border then it would have made little news! Sorry but it is a fact of life that many people like yourself say Britain when you actually mean England. I am not being stroppy and was in fact born in England and do consider myself English but I also feel that the Scots are a forgotten race at times.

Zetec109, maybe this is why the news favours England:

National statistics office,

Population density (people per sq. Kilometer)
England 383
Northern Ireland 125
Scotland 65
Wales 142

The population is very unequally distributed over the four parts of the UK:
England more or less constantly makes up 84% of the total population, Wales around 5%, Scotland roughly 8.5 %, and Northern Ireland (since 1921) less than 3%.From the table above you can see that England has the highest population density and Scotland the lowest. This is mainly due to many parts of Scotland being unsuitable for people to live.

Caller, I promise you it actually says that on the National Statistics Office website, I didn't add it myself however tempted I might have been!
