Epic First World Disaster: Seminole Pro-Member May Lose Key Members Of The White Belt Set
/Biblical rains (five inches!?) washed out the Honda Classic third round, or as I've heard a number of times, the real start of the PGA Tour season. Nice start!
The rains wiped out all sorts of tournament elements like the 18th hole scoreboard, leaving a massive clean-up effort for Sunday morning, with play scheduled to resume at 10 am ET.
Considering the air bubble that came up on the 18th green, that time frame may be optimistic.
But this is the first world and most could only think about the players now finishing the Honda on Monday and as Gary Van Sickle points out, missing the chance to hang with Seminole's most esteemed members in the annual closed-to-the-public member pro.
Last year the Pro-Member included six of the top 10 players in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Meanwhile back at PGA National, PGA Tour caddies (some are suing the PGA Tour and claiming issues with working conditions...), took to Twitter to point out that some things never change in golf: loopers are not allowed in the clubhouse, even when their only shelter is a steel roofed thing while violent storms rain down on the course. Alex Myers with the Tweet roundup that included tournament contender Luke Donald bringing the matter to light.
Will Gray also has a few more tweets on the issue.
