So I snuck out of work early today, to get in a lesson.
I get out there, and while I'm still warming up the cold front starts blowing through.
We're working me learning to draw the ball (it's a sometimes thing, I'm getting there), and all of the sudden, the wind goes from 5-10MPH to 40-50MPH. My 8 iron shots were coming nearly all the way back to me :bulgy-eyes:
We decided to call the lesson on account of wind. I'm calling in "sick" on Monday (use-it-or-lose-it vacation days to use up) so I'm going back at 10:30.
We get inside, and he starts telling me about a tournament that he played at Troon several years ago, when the wind picked up like today, and how he was hitting his driver only ~100 yards (he usually hit it in the upper 200's then) and playing through those winds. I ended up sitting there shooting the breeze with him and watching him build up a new set of X-22's for a lucky woman (full custom build, super nice).
*we decided to call it off, when a big cottonwood tree off to the side of the driving range blew over
