Looks like it is going to be a wet tournament.  Rain and Thunderstorms scheduled for most of the event.  Guess I will be wearing raingear during my volunteer duties.

Here's hoping that weather moves through. Although it seems like we get rain half the time that tournament is held.

We have had good luck the past few years...at least on my shifts.  Last year we were called in;  fortunately my positions allows me to come back to the clubhouse in the players vans so I don't have to scramble when there is lightning.

Can find MGS stuff everywhere.  Didn't get to ask, but it appears one of the LPGA caddies is an MGS fan.

I went on Sunday last year to watch but, if its raining and stormy all week I'll be watching from my nice dry recliner at home!

I am thinking you will be at home.   Looks like 90+% chance of rain through Saturday and then 60% on Sunday.

Course is holding up very well with all the rain. Grounds crews are working hard. Looks like it will be a wet afternoon for me today.
