Is it just me or does it seem like the tropics have become extremely active as of late? Figures, it’s WORLD AM time. Praying for NICE weather as this will be my third event and the weather was a factor in my first two…uugghh!!

Gaston looks to recurve and will likely be a fish storm (what we meteorologists call a hurricane that stays over the ocean). The one to watch will be the system east of the Lesser Antilles. The models do look interesting for the first part of next week, especially the European ensembles. Still a week out so a lot can change, but it needs to be watched.

Played in the middle of tropical storm Ernesto. My best round of the week. Played in the heat, rain and wind. Still the best time in golf ever.
