Practice Round Rainout
Storms in the midwest are unbelievable. You see them coming from far away and they can be enormous. Then they’re on top of you in a heartbeat. That’s what happened in today’s practice round. We got to the 6th tee and after several phone calls for people to check radar and give me their appraisal of the situation we called it quits. Lightning was getting close enough to be dangerous, and it started raining sideways 30 minutes later, so it was a good call.
The course was soaked by 2 inches of rain in about an hour so it won’t open up again today. I only got in 6 holes, but have a good yardage book, and the course is right in front of you. The greens are good, and they were handing out hole location sheets for tomorrow’s round in the golf shop. I will be as prepared as possible for tomorrow’s round.
Unfortunately, I probably could have gotten in the entire round if Airtran hadn’t mis-tagged my golf bag. Those are the breaks, and I feel like a good yardage book and advance notice of the hole locations will offset only playing 1/3 of the course.
