The Opens are getting closer and although it is raining today, this video shows a typical morning at the famous course. I had a friend from up North recently ask this average golfer if the bad weather caused us to miss any golf. My answer was an honest one… “Yes, instead of playing Tuesday and Thursday, we had to move it to Monday and Friday”. Even with one of the worst winters here in recent history, we played all season. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
