May 6, 20179 yr Not good..... Let's hope for a swing in the forecast (for the better). Sorry I didn't say hello yesterday, but I'm assuming you didn't spend a whole lot of time in your seats? Ours were under cover. The club house was very nice yesterday. We had access this year. Maybe explains why the ticket price jumped so much.

I don't blame you for not coming out and seeing us though, it was pretty nasty. Hopefully you had better luck than I did.
