Yeah I had to take care of some stuff this AM so couldn't play then and was going to play this afternoon but didn't feel like it in the rain. Hopefully next weekend, where did you play?

Not playing today but it's beautiful here today. Probably in the 80's light breeze.

The Weather's not our friend this morning....
The Weather's not our friend this morning....
Scheduled 9:00 a.m. Tee Time. Looked out side and smiled at the clear skies. Made my first cup of coffee, checked my fantasy football schedule for the day, went to carry my clubs to the car... lo and behold it's pouring rain. So much for breaking 80 today. Had my mind right!
Oh well.... my backyard driving net is covered, so I can at least hit a couple hundred balls and settle down to watching my Seattle Seahawks destroy Jacksonville.

Just what I need... a place to rant about the rain. I was so ready to break 80 today. Hah.

Just walking in the rain......
Just walking in the rain......
It started out to be a really nice day. So, after finishing my yard chores, I packed the clubs in the SUV and headed to the Club for a nooner nine. I teed off on #1 and by the time I reached my ball, it was sprinkling. 85 yards out, just right for a Gap wedge. As my ball rose high over the green, the volume of water falling from the sky, increased exponentially, according to the speed of the ball's descent.... whatever that means. Sounds good. The point being it started pouring rain. I shrugged it off 2 putted, for Par, and moved on.
The shower remained steady as I parred #2, bogeyed #3, parred #4 and approached #5 Tee Box.
A couple of loud booms echoing across the sky suggested this storm would stay awhile, and the accompanying lightening would shut down play. It quickly became clear that it wasn't lightening at all, but the soldiers over at Fort Lewis were doing rainy day maneuvers with the big guns.
I hit a 3 wood off the tee and started toward my ball... some 200 yards down range and left of center fairway. A 3 wood off the turf left me 10 yards short of the green. By this time the water was coming down in sheets, so I quickly, chipped on, 2 putted for bogey and cut across to #9 on the way back to the club house. I hit two balls off #9..... birdied one of them and parred the other, and called it a day. Back at the club house, a few us us sat around the fireplace chewing on what could have been, except for the rain.

Following today's downpour.... tomorrow will bring more rain and dropping temperatures in the SeaTac / Puget Sound area. Ahhhh... but just wait until Thursday.
Warmer than they predicted so far: 50 degrees and sunny, without a cloud in the sky. Supposed to warm up into the 70s by mid-afternoon. Really just a perfect fall day in Upstate NY.

Will be a cool 60* when I arrive at the course. 63* at tee time, and 74* at the end of the round.

The rain is here, and it looks like it could be here for a while. Ugh.

Seeing these people come in wet and miserable has made me decide not to play today.
