Teeing Off

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

Rain, rain go away …

June

How much do you suppose Tiger Woods is aching to be a ranger for just a couple of minutes, riding around in a cart politely urging his fellow competitors to pick up the pace of play?

The defending champion will start his second round three days into the U.S. Open championship 12 shots behind.

Ouch.

Right now, the sun is winning a losing battle with the clouds. Woods is heading for the tee, and we need about six hours to get the second round over and done with. If another inch of rain falls through a long, dark night, the biggest concern will not be the course, but the infrastructure.

Did you know mud can move bleachers?
