Rain

[Jim_Coleman]

    It's pouring here, and the Red Sox are out.  What do you do on a rainy day?  Or, put another way, what do the other people do?

[Patrick_Mucci]

Jim Coleman,

Am I disappointed in you.

Are you kidding me ?

Do you know what we call these days in our part of the country ?

No tell, motel ... days.

Get a grip on someone other than yourself  

[ForkaB]

Right on, Pat!

And when you arrive home, dripping wet from the shower, you say to your concerned spouse:

"It was hell out there in the rain today, honey.  I 3-putted 18 from 6 inches!"

[Jim_Coleman]

   You know what Woody Allen says about "getting a grip on yourself."  Masturbation is making love with the person you love the most.

I think most of the superintendents in the area are pleased to see these rains.  I just hope there won't be too much!  It has been drench or drought in these parts this year.

My youngest son is a Red Sox fan, I think he's now rooting for the White Sox to face the Cardinals in the World Series.

I drove by French Creek, and the creek itself is WAY out of its banks - in fact, #4 tee is underwater, and the entire wetlands area between #9 tee and the fairway is like a river.

It's actually pretty cool, especially since the rain rate has slowed...

[Bill Shotzbarger]

Take the SAT's? I have a feeling I'm the only one who is in that age demographic.

After that my dad and I watched a couple episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He now loves it.

[Kyle Harris]

Watch the Big Ten Championship tonight between PSU and OSU...  

FOR THE GLORY!

[Dan Herrmann]

Speaking of rain - French Creek rec'd 10.25 inches of rain.  No news on any damage reports (I think we'll be OK) - but there will certainly need to be some cleanup.

How did other courses fare during TS Tammy and the stalled cold front?

Kyle Harris,

You must be a very happy camper this morning.

[Kyle Harris]

Kyle Harris,

You must be a very happy camper this morning.

Just a little less happy than these campers...

Great game by the Nittany Lions.  Kyle, I'm sure you couldn't wait to open up the Inquirer sports section this morning with your scrapple and eggs.  That was one of the best defensive games I can recall.  Lots of speed and excellent tackling.  Today's youth probably thought the game boring.  Anything but!

[Kyle Harris]

Wayne,

That was far from boring... my heart is still fluttering!
 

[wsmorrison]

That's because you have little in common with today's youth, except for the youth part  

[Steve_ Shaffer]

The report from LuLu is that almost 6inches have closed the course until further notice.

Re: Youth

As Mark Twain once said, "Youth is wasted on the young"

[wsmorrison]

Steve,

We had a bit more on this side of the Schuykill.  I heard Lancaster had an amazing 12.5 inches of rain yesterday.  Scheduled to play there yesterday, I hope they aren't too badly flooded, though they often are with far less rain.  

Rolling Green's topography allows the course to drain pretty well.  I may go over a little later and see what's what.  Given that the course was slowly recovering from a horrid season, I hope the damage isn't too severe.

Oscar Wilde on youth:

"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable."

"To get back one's youth, one merely has to repeat one's follies."

"In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience."

"I am not young enough to know everything."

I don't think Osky appreciated the art of golf course architecture:

A really well-made buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature.

[Kyle Harris]

Shivas,

Chickens are being counted...

Difference between this year's team and last year's is that 4th and 15... we would have NEVER converted that last year. That and last year's offense would never climb back into a game they gave up in the first half.

Thanks for hanging 51 on Wisky yesterday too, made us look real good.

Sutton's looking incredible, keep him rolling!

[Jason Mandel]

Like everyone else in Philly, we had a TON of rain at White Manor.

However, we were OPEN this morning and I got in 18 before 12 oclock

Course was a little wet, but it drained very very well, kudos to super Super Don Brown.  

I would guess we were one of only a handful of courses in philly open today.

Jason

[Jim_Coleman]

   Rolling Green was open today.  I don't think that the rain we received yesterday was that much more than what we've been doing to ourselves over the past six weeks.

[Jason Mandel]

Jim,

Nice to hear you were open as well.  As Wayne mentioned, your topography is such that it should drain pretty well.  

I can't speak to your other comment however

Jason

I played Pine Hill yesterday and today in the rain.
Yesterday I was the only person on the course all day and today I was one of very few.

A good pair of Gortex pants and jacket or wool sweater along with those rain gloves makes a little rain a complete non-issue for me.

I really enjoyed playing this weekend. The course was incredibly peaceful and quiet. Sometimes I feel closer to nature when it is raining, and considering the fact that I spend M-F cooped up in an office, I really like that feeling.

What's open in the Tri-State?  I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and planning to play somewhere TBD--if anyone wants to play, send me a PM.

This doesn't qualify as access-seeking

The Greatest Place On Earth might be open--soil is sandy enough.  If interested, PM.  

[Bill Gayne]

I went to Key West for a four day weekend and forgot about the baseball playoffs.

[Jim Franklin]

I am supposed to play Merion today, but it looks like we will get rained out . Hopefully, it won't rain in Pittsburgh next week .
