Weather
OK enough RAIN, we are going to need arks down here pretty soon! Every other day it rains, and it is raining again today. Courses are so soggy down here there is no roll at all in the fairways. Casual water every where on my home course.
I am glad I did not fall fertilize otherwise I would be cutting the damn grass every other day. As it is I have to cut it every 3-4 days.
RAIN RAIN GO AWAYMy opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

As for the weather here today it is thunderstorms and sucks, my animals are all hiding for the rest of the day because of the thunder!!!
As for the breaking 100, my hubby thinks I am crazy, but we were at a course that is close to us and I hate it, so my rational was that I want to break 100 at a better course!!! And as far as the handicap thing......wow my handicap is so high I actually don't even think it makes the chart. The game was awesome though (and if Wilster reads this) I only had 1 bad drive, it hit a tree flew completely across the fairway hit another tree, then landed in the fairway!!! I tried to finish the last 2 holes but it was so dark I could just barely see my ball on the ground, if I had counted the last hole I would have finished at 102, with a nine on the last hole, have you ever tried to hit a ball when you can't see the ground in relation to the ball......hence the 9 on the last hole!!!!

Jack away folks Hey Indio I bet you did not show that photo of me dressed up like a pimp to Bugsy did you? Cause if you did she would have it on her DESKTOP
Rain has stopped, sun is out. Nice day here now. Well for a little while anyways. Anymore rain I am sending it up to Indio's place!My opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

I have started building the Ark and I am putting a driving range with net on it.
Seriously, every day for the last month I have had the chance to golf it has rained.

On a par 5 I was 20 yards short of the green in 2, in the left rough. I had to come out towards the fairway almost 20 feet before I got out of the casual water.
Sunday morning there was standing water in the low part of the 18th green
Every pond on my course it topped off now, there will be no shortage of waterMy opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

Yesterday was gorgeous and I only went to the driving range. Today silly me I went to Emerald links and it started to downpour on the second hole. We finished that and then did number 3 but it just wasn't letting up. My pants were soaked. Even with full rain gear your grips and clubs as such get really wet. No fun. Got full rain check. Even the diehards headed back.

As someone with restricted golf priveledges, I'm out there rain or shine. That means a complete GoreTex wardrobe (hat, jacket, pants, and shoes) and rain gloves so the clubs don't slip. It has to be pretty bad for me to not play.
Lightning is a different story.
Edit: I'm the guy in the middle of this picture. This was taken during the 5 minutes it wasn't pouring that day. High of 10C.

Tomorrow it will rain all day here. 15 - 25 mm. (Thanks Golfbum for sending it our way).
I have all the rain gear, but tomorrow will be a work day. I doubt the courses will be playable, they are pretty saturated now. Oh well. Fall here is usually not this wet. This really bites.

I played a course at Mitchell yesterday and it was not that bad as far as wet fairways etc. Seems they have not had the rain that this area has had. Thank God it was not cold enough to snow or the banks would be at the eavestroughsMy opinions are my own, I do not follow others.

Well you do look kitted out well As yet I don't own such things, but then again I can play anytime so I don't usually feel the need to play in such bad conditions. Although it is nice to go when the conditions aren't too good as the course is lovely and quiet and peaceful.

I Am Now Building An Ark
I am currently searching the internet for ARK PLANS Woke up this morning at 6AM to thunder and lightning. Rain was pounding down again. This radar capture below is what I saw out of Traverse City MI at 8:30AM Folks, this is not good golf weather. Those yellow areas in the radar capture mean HEAVY RAIN. I might also have to go buy some rubber boots You will notice the green area extends right up o Ottawa. But at least it is green, not YELLOW!

Played Saturday with my wife at Chateau Cartier, and saw a few splashes in the fairways after drives. Still raining today, so my trip to the Marshes with clients tomorrow should be marshy, to say the least.
Question for you; how is Fire Rock? I am playing in a tournament there on the 18th with my regular group of ringers (I'm a 23-handicap; they are 3, 6 & +1, respectively), and they were asking me what to expect.

Played the Canadian today "customer appreciation golf tourney", not something to miss if you get invited. Wet fairways but greens were rolling good. Looked pretty grim this morning, but actually turned out not bad, light rain for about 15 minutes otherwise it was ok. Of course cart path only. Likely playing the marshes tomorrow, they have very good drainage, likely (hopefully) not cart path only.

Actually we played 18 holes at an excutive length course, and got around in 2 1/2 hours for 3 of us. No rain at all, and the fairways were not mud like my home course would be. Some standing water here and there, but after the monsoon we had last night and this morning that was to be expected! We only had one ball plug in the fairways.
One guy was 13 holes ahead of us, the next foursome was 7 holes behind! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
