At least in FL you can see them coming from miles away, in NE they lie in wait just over the mountain or ridge and sneak up on you when you’re playing well.

I think they see me - I’ve been rained out several times over the past few months and the Morris afternoon does not look promising. :(

The rainstorms in FL have been know to stalk players when playing well. Has to be true, I read it on the internet.

Hot and sunny which usually like, except I had to seal the driveway. My son came over so it went quick. Even mowed my lawn. I think he is getting excited. He and his wife close on the first home Aug 3rd.

Ridiculously hot and humid the past couple of weeks.  Thunder and lightning have driven me off the golf course every day since July 16th.  My opening hole last night was a 518 yard par 5 with trees lining both sides of a narrow chute that opens up some 200 yards off the tee into a wide landing area with a pretty hard dogleg right to an elevated green guarded by three very deep bunkers.  It sets you up nicely for a draw off the tee when a fade is the necessary shot.  The further left you are off the tee determines how long the second will play and if you can even reach in two.  But if you are too far right, your second will be blocked out by the trees lining the fairway.  I piped a beautiful power fade right down the middle.  Hit a very nice 5-iron approach from 197 yards to about 12 feet and two putted for birdie. 

Then, the heavens opened up.  By the time i could get back to the clubhouse, you couldn't see the golf course from the front porch.  Welcome to the dog-days of summer in the south!  Hoping for better luck this afternoon.

Wow, that's hot for that time of day.  Looks like your hot weather is due to spill over the rockies as the balance of the week thru Monday will be high 80's amd low 90's.  The nice thing about being a mile high is that it will still drop into the high 50's at night, even on those toasty days.

But it's a dry heat.  Friday afternoon the humidity is supposed to be 11%... normally 14%.

It's hot but you aren't wet.  You have to be careful and stay hydrated, or you could look like a mummy.

Yeah, this better.  108º with 20+ mph wind and blowing dust.   💩

Good news... only 99º tomorrow.

Very premature for Shankster to be overly concerned but my brother in law is about 8 hours away from a fun filled five hours.

 

I have a tee time, doesn’t look to be a threat here. We could use the rain for sure and on the grand scheme of things this isn’t a big storm.

 

Bit of course it’s threatening the part of the state where COVID cases are spiking. :(

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday were record breaking days for high temperatures, 110, 108, 109.  Today was very pleasant day to play at 80º in the morning, and it only reached 96º due to some cloud cover.  The 10 day forecast shows sunny with temps in the 90's, maybe a day or two at 100º... very pleasant with low humidity and a slight breeze.  Golf weather!!

Last 2 days have been the best golfing weather of the summer. It's mid 50's at 6 when I take the dog out then quickly warms up to a dry mid 70's and stays there all day. I could live in this weather year round.
