SAN DIEGO (AP) — Nothing
brings out hindsight in golf
like the weather.
One year when the Match
Play was in Arizona, the
opening round was de-
layed by snow that cov-
ered Dove Mountain. And
while it took five hours the
next day for the snow to
clear, PGA Tour officials
told players to be at the
course in the morning in
case it melted earlier.
One player was furious. He
said there was no way the
course would be ready by
noon, tour officials knew it
and there was no reason
for players to have to wait
around. Fair enough. But if
he was so certain of this,
why not just stay at his ho-
tel?
The player said he couldn’t
risk not being at the course
on the odd chance it was
ready — the very logic
used by the rules officials.
