I know that I have talked a lot about how bad the weather conditions have been before this golf season, but their was no doubt that the conditions we endured this past weekend up at Wartburg were the worst that I have ever played in.
We left Cedar Rapids early Saturday morning and the entire drive north to Waverly was in blowing snow condition! Might I remind you that we are in the middle of April at this point. When we got to the course, there were only a few other team vans in the parking lot and the course was covered in a thin layer of snow. Their was no way were playing... or would we.
The coaches had a meeting prior to us getting our clubs out of the van and a decision was made that once the snow had evaporated we would attempt to get 9 holes in on Saturday, followed by a 27 hole day o Sunday to complete the tournament.
As the wind and snow continued to blow throughout the day on Saturday, playing conditions were horrible and we were all glad when the first day was completed. On Sunday conditions improved steadily, but the wind was once again blowing in excess of 25 m.p.h.
As a whole, all our scores showed improvement from the first day. Below is a list of our team results as well as individual scores. Nolan was once again medalists for the Kohawks as he fired the 4th best score of the entire tournament.
9 Coe College 327 312 639
