Wintertime Open flooding pictures

Straight from "sunny" California

Hole number 6. We actually played this hole on Saturday, then Sunday morning, it looked like this.

Hole 6 from the tee.

The canyon shot, which was a "lake shot" on sunday. The water level on this hole rose about 12'-15' overnight.

Canyon shot from the tee. You had to shoot over the water, then land on an island, too deep, too left, too right, too short, all O.B.

Fun reflection shot of hole 7. We didn't play this on sunday for obvious reasons, and the tee pad was under a foot or two of water.

Another fun relection shot.


The funniest part for me, I shot my best round in the downpour from saturday. Go figure.

Looks like the flood of OctoberFriz of 2003! It's amazing how fast water can rise and thankfully for the Friz, go back down.

I keep picturing the guy at the end of Cool Shots, when he's trying to skip a disc off the water and into the basket.

The funniest part for me, I shot my best round in the downpour from saturday. Go figure.

Most of us did.. why? Because the course was all short. Sunday was all long and a ton of mandatories. That's why scores are worse on Sunday than on Saturday, even though the rain was worse on Saturday than on Sunday.
Great pics, Thanks!

Yes, but the course did not get harder for round two, and the rain had stopped, I still shot better wet. I hate that course too, I am never playing another tourney round at the course ever again!
