A promise of eighteen degrees Celsius temperature with no rain and no wind at BraeBen golf course last Sunday seemed idyllic conditions to play a round of golf. But boy, what did we get? Prevailing winds that blasted the whole golf course at least 50 mph took twenty-two players by surprised. What made it more difficult for the players was the higher altitude setup of the golf course where the pesky winds blew a lot stronger. And then the rain and hail came about for good half an hour. We all thought that the weather supposed to calm down later on but it never did as temperature dropped down a little bit more with the absence of the sun. Everyone was caught off guard by the course conditions. Everything about the last two weeks was different. We paid dearly to enjoy the game because of the uncooperative mother nature. Weather reigned supreme for now but hopefully next Sunday would be a lot better. Cross your fingers.

It made it tough for everyone, but it felt like that someone had his favorite conditions to play in the wind. It was no secret that playing in high winds like this was to hit low and harder. Ed I. with his enormous length from the tee kept his nerve to win on 69 net. This meant Nassau corners were swept by the day’s winner. While it was noticeable that only five players – Ed I., Joey C., Dave N., Julio R., & Jimmy M. carded gross scores in the high 80s, it was a display of patience by these members playing in blistery conditions.
