eXtreme Golfers

I and "Hopeless Golfers" went to play in the midst of rain today. The conditions can be referred to as being sub-optimal, undesirable, and dismal. Yesterday the weather man said had 80% chance of rain; it dropped <0.1". Today the weather man said had 80% chance of rain; it poured :(. The only two things that looked positive were that we were prepared for the rain with rain attire, and mentally we were saying to ourselves "I am playing against unfavorable natural conditions, its windy and damp - so be it... given the conditions, I will play the best golf I can play on this day!".

After playing 9 holes, we went to the 19th and found that the club had given up on us - there was no lunch, no soup, no coffee - only beer and sodas! (they saw more rain coming in and closed early). Needless to say, the turnout at the course hadnt been exactly great - we two were probably amongst the half dozen people playing in the gloomy February afternoon, the Sunol Valley Golf management thought it would be easy to dissapoint a few hapless souls. Ofcourse they also dont give rain-checks, its the policy.

Bay area, they say needs the rain... and the Rain Gods were omnipresent - what can I say, we gave up after 9 holes - all we asked was some hot food/drinks...
