Yes, the weather outside was frightful. The fire would have been delightful, but nooooo..., I was out playing 18 on Saturday. It was around 40 degrees with the wind blowing 15 - 20 when we teed off. We played Hesperia CC (old, old tour stop) on Saturday in a league tournament. It snowed a few flakes as well as sleeted several times (light sleet).
First hole is 400 yards with a left to right wind. Played the hole badly and had about 20 feet for bogey. Hit the putt two inches short of the hole. Had 20 feet for double bogey. Hit the putt two inches short of the hole. Had 20 feet for triple bogey (do you see a pattern yet?
). Luckily I made the same 20 footer for quad else I might still be out there. The greens have quite a bit of slope and were running 10+ on the stimp. The wind was just blowing the balls off the greens. It was fun, not!
Don't forget that this was sunny SoCal. So all y'all up north, I felt your pain even if only for one day.
Does anyone else have a horrible playing conditions situation they would like to share?
