I will be playing Cypress Point that morning and we will experience 77% coverage at 10:32 in the morning. If my math is correct we should be on 16 or 17 at that time and it should make for some interesting pictures!!

Matt, you'll find the shadows of the leaves on the trees will be in the shape of eclipses themselves. Very cool!

Happy viewing. People are flocking from the coast into the valley because of cloud cover at the beach. Duh.
I will probably head to the OGA course parking lot.

Played Olympia South today and saw the eclipse through cloudy skies. What a course, what an experience, what a...well whatever. I'll see one the next time a century from now.

...while you're *again* playing Olympia South!
I do hope the descendants of Renaissance Golf will have properly managed the trees and are around then to restore the course to the way you remember it today  :)
