Sounds like how we played when I lived in west TX. Too damn hot outside. We had at least 25 mph winds that made things extra fun.

Needless to say I never got very good at golf.

I lived in DFW and San Antonio before I moved to Florida. Same here as Texas you just have to play early.

Tom Watson ALMOST won the British Open at age 59. Now that would have been one for the ages.

watson is #3 all time on my list.. he was dominant on tour for a decade and won 8 majors including 5 british opens... i like sarazan's resume , as well as jones, but it was a different game.. golf really came of age with steel shafts and consistent golf balls ..

or late .. if you play 18 in about 2 hours it's not so hard on the body , even in real hot conditions.. places i worked often had very little play late in the day....

It's calm and mild in DFW and SA compared to where I lived. Granted, early usually was the way to go, but man there is no getting away from that damn wind. I literally had to stop playing one day because this was coming for me and my dad. We took cover behind an oil tank (of course) and saw a really bad accident on the way home. These dust storms are a lot more terrifying than they look.

This is from the paper where I'm from. I don't miss it and I'm never going back.

Lol... Welcome to every summer in AZ...we generally get a handful every year in the metro area... It has been alleviated by the recent down turn in construction...
