Well I teed off at 8:15 today with swirling clouds and threatening weather as Irene approached Baltimore.  We got through 15 holes when it start to rain and blow,  We finished up in the rain so I just I can add playing golf in a hurricane to my bucket list!

I've got 3 hurricanes under my belt! (playing in). They are wicked fun if its just a lot of wind and no rain yet, and its straight down wind on a hole :P

On a side note, I was playing today with a couple buddies and there were dark clouds in the distance as we got to the 2nd hole. On the 5th hole it started to drizzle, then the wind picked up, then the clouds just dumped a torrential downpour on us. We huddled under some trees and then it hit. Gusts of wind had to be upwards of 40 mph. I had my back towards the wind with my umbrella and the wind almost forced it closed. My friend's umbrella flew out of his bag, opened up in the wind, and flew over the creek we were next to. It was fantastic.

And 15 minutes later it was as sunny as when we had started. Gotta love Florida...

      Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By snapfade ·

      Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀

      RIP Peter Oosterhuis

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts.

      Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way.

      I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
