Predicted severe thunderstorms all day today, so guess who stayed in and
watched football instead of playing golf.
Did it rain a drop?
Of course not.
How that massive front missed my area remains something of a mystery.

It sure was Severe Lightning Thunderstorms in the North west of UK
yesterday for about 2 hours.
Had to come off after 9 holes and had a really good card for 9 - 36.
We thought it would head over to Ireland about 100 miles West of us but
obviously not.
But it was pretty bad here...

Ever see the "Curb Your Enthusiam" episode where Larry David accuses
the local weatherman of predicting rain just so he can have the golf
course all to himself? Larry wakes up one Saturday morning,
perfectly sunny, when the weatherman predicting Thunderstorms. Larry
goes over to the Country Club (where the weatherman is also a member)
and there he is, playing golf!

Very funny. I love that show. But I've never seen that episode.

They just wanted to keep the course safe for the other golfers by
keeping you home :)

Weather forecasting is one of those things that has gotten worse in recent
years. I've stopped paying attention to anything other than the radar. If
we aren't about to get hit with something I just throw the rain gear on or
in the bag and go out anyway. I'll even go out and play where I have to pay
for it if the radar isn't threatening. About 90% of the time it's fine.
Most of the rest just results in getting a little wet. It's less than once
a year that I actually get chased off the course by seriously threatening
weather.

You cannot even trust the radar --- today I checked the radar to see how
fast the rain that was falling outside could be expected to end - hoping it
would be over by the time I got off work --- the radar didn't show any rain
for 200 miles....
It did end in time for me to get a quick solo 9 in though....

That's the 10% of the time I get wet. Happened a bit yesterday. Nothing on
the radar but 3 holes in we got hit with wind driven soaking drizzle.
Yesterday wasn't too bad, but it's odd that that's about the 4th time that
particular condition has happened to me this year and I can't remember
another time -- usually around here either it's raining in drops the size of
water baloons and tossing lightning bolts or it's dry, during the summer at
least, but not this year. After all the gloomy drizzly weather we've had in
September people are starting to wonder whether they've moved to Seattle or
where the nearest drive inn espresso place is :-)

I heard this on the radio last week:
"Here is today's Accu-Weather forecast. High today, 79. Low tonight,
60. Currently, it is 80 degrees in the Scenic City."

Worse, is having multiple forecasts from different sources, all different.
Took a chance today and played. Weather was superb.
