Teeing Off

Golf in the Lower Hudson Valley, from high schools to the pros

The plans maybe a changing

May
30

So, all week long I’ve planned on heading to Ithaca for the state championships early. And by early, I mean really early.

I was going to begin the four-plus hour drive at about 5 a.m. to make a 9:30ish tee time with some of the coaches. Who am I kidding. I’ve been planning/looking forward to possibly playing 36 on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course there for weeks, if not months.

However, I just checked weather.com for about the 10th time today and it looks like the horrific forecast for tomorrow isn’t changing. So I’m in limbo over whether or not to still go early or sleep in and get there sometime in the afternoon.

Fortunately, it appears that Sunday and Monday will be much nicer so hopefully, weather won’t affect the actual tournament too much. It always seems like there is one terrible day and then one absolutely glorious day. I was hoping for three such days, but it doesn’t appear that’s in the cards.

In any event, please don’t be shy to post your thoughts/comments on this upcoming tournament. We’ve already heard someone weigh in with a Drew Clayton pick, but I’d like to see more people not afraid to go out on a limb.

If I don’t, it’s because the limb I went out on for sectionals completely snapped.
