Blown Away
I made it out to the range again today with high hopes for a nicer day since it was at least sunny. The wind was still howling, though. I was dressed like the Unabomber on the driving range — hood up, shades on, keeping out the wind any way possible. My eyes are still watering. The ball kept blowing around on the mat — it was hard to keep it still to hit it! But I did get in some good chipping practice. The chipping greens at Hiawatha are kind of protected by hills, so the wind wasn’t quite as bad. I was impressed by the turnout on the course despite the cold and nasty wind. Minnesotans are known for their hardiness, after all. I sure hope the wind has died down by tomorrow, or we’re in for a long 18 holes during the first day of league play.
