Weather, Bugs, & Weather Delays
The 54-hole tournament has experienced completely dry conditions once in 11 years. The tournament will be played in rain, but not in a heavy downpour. The tournament could be adjusted to 36 holes on Saturday or Sunday due to bad weather. The Skills Challenge and replay round in this order will be activities removed from the itinerary if needed. The tournament can also be adjusted for 27 holes on Thursday or Friday if heavy rain is expected on Saturday. The Daily Pairing Sheets will be updated every night and text messages will be sent for all rain delays.
Very wet conditions prior to the tournament can attract an obscene amount of mosquitos. It is recommended that players obtain plenty of insect repellent for MULTIPLE golfers if the golf course receives lots of rain prior to arrival. Absorbine Jr. works well.
The cooler morning temperatures could require a pullover jacket. Umbrellas, drizzle sticks, rain suits and towels should be packed.
