Got Problems?

[Charli]

Today was ungodly hot. Shot a 78 with a bunch of missed opportunities. Doesn't make sense to have 100yards out hit a 60 degree which is your 100 yard club and not take a full swing.... can anyone explain why one would do that? Also had 130 out and had to go over a big tree. I could go aw which is my 130 but I decide let's go pw and taking an easy swing. Idiot!!

Well, look at it this way, Chuck.

I'm impressed that you hit your 60º wedge 100 yds. with the biggest swing that you can muster.

Whenever I tried to hit my sixty as hard as I possibly could, it just went higher instead of longer.

Taught me the preference for a low bounce 58. Or reminded me of it. (Cleveland used to make a great one in their old 691 series.)

 

Think of all the linksters who'd love to shoot a 79 for the first time.

You even beat their dreams by a shot.

And you don't have to scrape the heat off your windshield when its time to go home.

 

Now I'm acting out of character just for you. I'm usually a glass half-empty guy.

I'm an idiot. I know I burn easily yet I forgot to put sunscreen on before spending a day outside in a sleeveless shirt. I'm now part lobster. It may have to do with my lack of sleep especially since as I write this I've been up for 28 hours and was busy at work last night.

Only 92º today, but forecast is over 100º all this week, with 110º on Wednesday and 111º on Thursday.  Humidity is 12%.  The good news is 70-80º at dawn with humidity of 50%, so golf will be early!!

[Charli]

Nifty as great as 79 sounds once you hit it a 75 become the new goal. I have a sickness and the only cure is 75.

10am, current temp 85°, humidity 71%, real feel 98°, height today is 93°, so it will likely feel 105° or so before the end of today.

Golf early if you can.

Not too different in the midwest. "Feels" like 91 - that's at 10:30. Virtually no rain in July and high humidity every day.

We're getting the rain and the temps as well. So after the rain it feels a bit warmer because the sun bears down on the grass and the steam rises and makes it feel even hotter. Saturday my interclub tee time was Noon. I drank 3- 24 oz water cans on the front 9, 3 - 20oz water bottles, and 2- 24 oz poweraids on the back nine. It was brutally humid out. We sat in the shade as much as possible. Luckily there was about a 2 mph constant breeze to help a little.

[Charli]

Well I have my league tomorrow starting at 5 I'm really hoping the humidity leaves town

I hope they have security cams that may have helped out, but knowing how courses are laid out I bet them came from an area without coverage.

We actually discussed that yesterday---as we were also hit on Saturday afternoon--police came out and even though our staff could point them to the house where they have seen that 4 wheeler come and go from, they can't do anything without seeing them on the course, or having pictures/videos.

 

We tried one particular type of trail camera two years ago when there was an issue, but it made a flash each time it took the picture, so they knew it was there and they knocked it out of the tree.   They are looking at some types now that are less noticeable.

Look at cuddieback they are infrared there are a bunch that have no flash any more. I'd suggest one of the infrared security cameras because they can be live viewed and you can try to catch them in the act.

That is terrible. Some people have no respect for others. If you want to destroy something, destroy something of your own. Where is the world going?

Back in the 1980s, a kid in the office actually bragged about having done that--at Crystal Spring--while hammered with his buddies.

 

Somehow, a bag of sugar found its way into the gas tank of his new Camaro.

Can't take it as far as to match the tire tread to the ATV that was supposedly used to do it?  That's straight up vandalism that I would prosecute to the fullest extent!  I hate seeing that on a golf course. 

 

Someone did that to one of the greens at Army & Navy CC when I worked there back in the day.  I hated it because it took us nearly a month to repair the green and fairway where they did their doughnuts.  And I was one of the one's that had to repair it ... took up so much time.  The damn old timers at the club were very impatient about how long it takes to repair.  I don't know if they were ever caught either.  This was back in the early 80's ... way before cell phone cameras & trail cams.  Had to use old fashioned police investigation.  HA!

We actually know who it is and have pointed where they live out to the police.  But they say unless THEY catch them in the act, or we get indisputable video or pictures, there is nothing they can do.

Do they have a lawn, and do you have a truck?

A video cam is definitely in order.
