Playing in hurricane

[fairwayguy2]

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!

Very nice! What course? I tried to get out but with my wife being 41 weeks pregnant wasnt having it. Congrats and be safe!

Awesome! Hurricane is one of the few types of weather that I have not played it. I've got torrential rain, gale force winds, snow, and freezing cold, but never a hurricane.

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...
