The Weather and Professionalism is
the Story on a Wet Day at PGA By Jay Slazinski February 1, 2010 PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – On a day when we all would have liked to be inside watching golf, 70 players honored their commitment to play---and teed it up in less than ideal conditions. I would like to thank all of the players who played because you get it. This is why The Minor League Golf Tour works.
As a developing player you need
other good players to play against
and some folks like Jimmy and I to
organize, promote, and administer
golf tournaments in such a way
that you can rely upon it to be
there. |

PALM
BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – An afternoon
start, steady rain, and cart path
only golf made for long day on
Monday at PGA National's Haig
course. With play starting
on both nines and a poor weather
forecast, a plan B was made the
night before to accommodate a
situation that might occur.
It did. The last group of
players that started on the first
hole only finished 17 holes and
the last group of players that
started on the tenth hole finished
16 holes. To be equitable,
the field was separated in two
halves, by starting tee.
