Monday night, or should I say early Tuesday morning is a story in itself. The weather forecast had warned us of severe thunderstorms…but the guys staying with me were from CA. They had never experienced a line of storms that involved Tornado’s!!! I was awakened by one of my house mates at 2:45 am. Asking me if I knew what all the fire works were about. The lightning from the approaching storms had awakened him. Apparently they don’t have thunder storms in San Diego. I simply explained that we were going to get a line of storms soon and he should just go back to sleep. He then asked why all of the TV stations had a red bar running along the bottom of the screen with warnings about tornados. Emoticon here I round up the guys and we head to the basement/game room to wait out the storm. By 3:10 we are sitting in the dark and the wind is howling like a hurricane outside and my three house mates are in shock at the weather that is taking place! Keep in mind we have 9 AM tee times at Augusta Country Club, and I’m thinking there is no way we will play golf this morning.

Day light finally came. Still no electricity, but we had hot water and had to get ready to head to Augusta CC. Our driver arrives and tells us all of Columbia county is without power, but they should have power at the golf course since it next to Augusta National. Luckily he was correct and we had a nice light breakfast before our tee time. The down side to the weather coming through was that it had cooled things off significantly and the winds were whistling around 15 – 20 mph with some heavy occasional gusts. Only a few shots from this round, since I left my camera table side back at the rental house thanks to the dark! Aug. CC is physically connected to Augusta Nat. and we could hear the galleries cheering for shots from the practice round the entire time! Sorry about the crappy iphone pics!

#6 170 yard par 3…a good 50 ft. elevation change to the green.

Tough to see, but I can now say I’ve hit a shot over Rae’s creek.

History every where

#17 with it’s bowl shaped green

This was my first time playing with a caddie. A Fore Caddie actually. They were on loan from Augusta National, since they were not needed during Masters week. Doug made sure our group had a wonderful time at Augusta CC and his knowledge of the game and some of the stories he shared with us about Aug. Nat. only added to the thrill!
