God Makes Horrible Golf Mistake!

[DaveLeeNC]

I live in Pinehurst, NC and am scheduled to play a round on No. 2 tomorrow (1/21). I have attached a picture taken from my back deck today (1/20).

Would someone with God's cell phone number please call him and tell him about this horrible error that has been made

Ouch man! Is the weather in NC that spotty?

[Jay-Bird]

Yeah, but you live in Pinehurst !

How many Pinehurst No. _ courses are there?

We get snow a few days a year. It's been unusually cooler than normal. In fact, it has been the coldest winter I can remember since moving down here in 1997.

I'm hoping global warming speeds up. ;)

I'm not sure exactly what 'spotty' means, but this area of NC is typically golfable in Jan/Feb. I'd estimate that maybe 10-20% of the time there is some kind of 'winter weather thing' that keeps me off the course and/or range. This is my 9th winter and maybe 4th or 5th real snowfall. My wife likes an occasional snowfall, and I agree. I just think the proper timing is once/century, so we have a timing disagreement here.

Yeah, but you live in

Pinehurst Resort and CC has 8 courses. No. 1-5 start and end at the mainclub clubhouse while 6/7/8 are each standalone facilities at different places around the edge of town.

It is a rough life dave

I think it looks great. How much are you supposed to get in Pinehurst? I live on the beach in NC and it's snowing pretty good right now, but we are only supposed to get 3 maybe 4 inches at most.

Man...you are making really miss my home state of NC.


My young son has never seen snow....it's trying to snow here today...but it will never stick.

Incedently, I'm heading over to a local course's practice green in a few minutes with the hope that I can get a walking practice round in tommorrow and a group of us can play on Thursday....temps expected to be high 50's and very sunny.


Methinks you'll get a chance to tee it up on one of the games true masterpieces in due time.....after all it is NC. We used to say, "Welcome to Eastern NC, don't mind the weather it's just passing though". Place had the most transitional weather of anywhere I've seen.....loved it.

That's a great one. I've heard many people say "if you don't like the weather here, just wait a few minutes, it'll change"

I've stayed with friends in one of those mini-mansions on the beach south of where you are . OBX rules.

Forecast is 4-5 inches - could be up to 8" in some areas. We've got maybe 4 right now and it is still coming down.

God has declared that golfers play in any kind of weather. When I talked to Scott Simpson about being the medalist at the Seven Oaks Golf Club at Colgate University in Upstae New York in 1977 in the NCAA Division 1 National Tournament , he said tha Payne Stewart (SMU in Texas)_ and Freddie Couples (University of Houston) could not stand the cold---38 degrees with a wind. That helped him to win!!

hopefully you can re schedule your tee time, the no.2 course is one of the best in the country....Watch out for the 4th its a par 5, and phil mickelson made an 8 there in the u.s. open a few years ago...i wanna say 2004??

That was 2005 (re: Phil). And I guess that was something of a play for sympathy that I don't deserve since I am a member there and play that course on a somewhat regular basis. Tough life dave

God was just looking out for you. He knew you weren't going to play well tomorrow!

[Stacey_E]

God knew in advance you would call him out for a "mistake". That's why he snowed on you.

Good one. The way that our winter is going here in Central New York (it seems as if started before Thanksgiving and just goes on and on and on, when actually, it started a day or two after Christmas), it makes those of us who golf feel forsaken. If we did something wrong to deserve this, it must have been very, very bad. I wonder if too many of us told "golf stories" that stretched the truth just a wee bit. But, then again, golfers never do that, do they?

The same weather system that is plaguing the central and eastern parts of the country with foul weather is causing temps in the 80's and blue skies out here in the Arizona desert. God it's awful to live out here.
