Now I Know I Hate The Weatherman

And Boy

Do We Ever Have The Best Supporters In The World

Back A few years ago I wrote a blog titled “I’m Beginning To Hate The Weatherman”, but now I’m certain; I definitely hate the weatherman. That blog was written just after our event had been completely rained out. On that day our venue, Royal Woodbine Golf Club, was better suited for canoe races as the entire course was flooded and playing golf was impossible. It had rained for a few days but the weather forecast for the day of the event was for the rain to stop over night. But that forecast was a load. It rained all night and all through the day of our event.

Back then and even now we start looking at the long range forecast as soon as we can. You just can’t help yourself; you don’t want to but you just have to, and it becomes a kind of an obsession and this year was no different.

This year in the Toronto area we have had one of the longest periods in our weather history with days that have been almost continuously sunny and completely devoid of rain. The 3 weeks before our event were all beautiful and sunny days; however the weather forecast leading up to the Tourney day was showing a great week with a beautiful day before event and a beautiful day after the event but rain and possible severe thunder storms for the day of the event.

On the morning of the Tourney I got up early and was out of the house by 6:00 am to see some friends for breakfast At that time there was the lightest little bit of spitting rain, but the by the time I got back home it had actually cleared up and was sunny. Registration was set to begin at 10:30 am so I left for the golf course and at that time it was drizzling again. On the way it actually got a bit heavy and I panicked but by the time I arrived at the golf course the rain had stopped and that was it for the rest of the day. We had wonderful weather for the Tourney.

I was absolutely crapping my drawers with fear over the effect that the weather forecast would have on our turn out. We have to guarantee a certain number of golfers to secure exclusive use of the golf course on tournament day and if we fall below that number, we have to pay anyways. But we have probably the best and most dedicated supporters anywhere. Just about everybody showed up and we had a great time and a had a very successful event. Love our supporters …… they are the best!

Love Our Loyal Supporters …. They Are The Best!
