Weather in your neck of the woods?

My buddy wants to play 9 this evening around 5:00. I'm betting he changes his mind...lol.

Take it easy mate. I'm a walker but I'll be riding today. Heat index here is supposed to be around 104°.

Back home chilling in the AC and it sure feels good!

My wife and I went out this morning while it was still a bit cloudy and the temp was lower to practice chipping and pitching. Scooted back to air conditioning after about 30 min. Note the heat index.

A sprinkler head on #4 at my home club was struck by lightning Friday afternoon during a massive thunderstorm that dumped more than 2 inches of rain in less than an hour.  The lightning strike left a crater in the ground nearly the size of a VW Beetle and blanketed the surrounding area with an inch of charred dirt/sand mix.  It looks like it snowed an inch for 100 feet radius around the crater.

I have to admit, I didn't notice the damage while playing over the weekend which is a testament to the staff at the club.  They had it cleaned up nicely by yesterday afternoon.  

A picture of the damage is in today's local newspaper.  I tried to copy the image from the newspaper website but they have it protected behind a paywall.  I will try to get one from the GM this afternoon.

We’ve been in the upper 80’s and 90’s since May with indexes in the upper 90’s and 100’s. It’s just something you deal with in the south. Playing in a cart isn’t so bad, walking can be a bit hot though. It’s funny listening to my family and friends up north talking about the heat. They’ve had hot days for a bout a week and they can’t do anything outside because it’s too hot. Here in the south I have to mow my grass at  8 pm when it’s still 88° outside with 80% humidity, hoping that the sun is low enough that it doesn’t beat you down.

LOL!!  My wife wants to help mow the lawn (exercise), but she's still working.  I start mowing around 4:30pm, mowing around all the curbs, trees, things in the yard, etc., then she gets home and mows the middle of the yard.  Total time about 90 minutes.  The problem is it's 100º when she gets home.  I'd rather mow all of the yard at 8am when its 75º than 1/2 the yard when it's 100º.

After a couple of months where the weather has been miserably hot and muggy, I looked on the weather channel and saw this:
That's 57 degrees in the morning, in Tennessee, in July! I might have to break out a light jacket in the morning. It's crazy, but I'm not going to complain.

First time being in the 60’s since early late April early May it actually feels pretty nice outside. If I didn’t have to work I might spend some time outdoors. Probably golfing

What a difference a few days makes - its absolutely gorgeous here with afternoon temps in the 70's. 

[Kenny B]

Nice golf weather for the next 10 days... temps in the 90's, no rain, low humidity, wind <10mph

Wet and hot

We’ve had 4 people hospitalized for cardiac issues during our convention thus far.

You must hydrate when it’s hot and humid. If your body chemistry gets behind there’s no turning back - been there, done that!

You learn that quickly when you play golf and even more in FL.

We've been enjoying good weather and smoke free ----- until last night.  A fire broke out 75 miles to the NW of us and quickly spread to over 200 acres and is now estimated at 750 acres ---- all started by an illegal campfire (thank you very much!).  Last night, the smoke rolled into the valley, reeking the smell of burning wood and reducing visibility to 2.5 miles as the winds are coming from the NW and will likely continue for the next several days.  We can expect smoke and hazardous breathing conditions until the fire is out and/or the winds shift.

Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning we had a huge lightning storm come through eastern WA.  We might get a strong T-storn cell or two moving through occasionally, but this was big.  In a 24 hour period...

28,630 cloud flashes

 

and 3,499 club to ground strikes.

The two paths of storms went just east and west of us, but we could see the flashes.

The storms sparked 30 fires from the Methow Valley in northern WA to Yakima.  The one outside Yakima is send smoke into our area... cough, cough!!

[Peaksy68]

Stunning day for the last day of winter. Not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind and an unseasonably warm 65 degrees.

Such a good day to be working on a Saturday

A very nice, sunny 95º day today.  It was still 88º at 7:30pm.  More of the same for the next 10 days.

[tony@CIC]

Drizzly/chilly day. About 2 holes into 18 with my wife and we start getting light precipitation. About #10 it get steadier and slightly harder. Both my wife and I were playing well so we just decided to finish. Grips, gloves and clothes were wet by the time we finished - but neither one of us complained

Played Saturdya morning. Mid 50's to around 70 and dry.  Had a windbreaker to start but dumped it around hole 7.

We have been in a beautiful weather pattern since the middle of last week. Breezy, warm, dry, much less humid.

I averaged 5 yards longer off the tee than I have been all summer. No real rain in the forecast this week, either.
