The first event of the year, in Hawaii, was shortened to 54 holes due to high winds. Dustin Johnson won the event; his third win in tournaments that have been shortened to 54 holes.
The well known Marine Layer always seems to delay the Farmers Insurance Open, and this year was no different. The delays were so long that the event had to finish on a Monday.
The WGC Accenture Match Play is held just outside of Tucson, AZ and this year the first round was postponed because of snow. SNOW! In Arizona.
So far this year in Nebraska we have had wind, rain, snow, and one day in the 70s. This time last year we had days into the 80s.
The direction of the wind dramatically changes how tough Wilderness Ridge plays. The north wind is into the golfers face on the par fives and a south wind is into on the par threes.
I personally prefer the south wind because the par threes require one full shot whereas the par fives require at least three into the wind. Others prefer the north wind because the par threes are long and tough even with no wind.
Let us know which wind you prefer in the comments section below.
