Course Correction

Almost as fast as the Atlantic City Golfer wrote the post on a blustery week ahead for Atlantic City Golf, the forecast has changed, and in dramatic fashion. The outlook for the start of the ShopRite LPGA Classic looks much as it did at last year's event; warm/hot, sticky and greatly subsiding winds. With a quick couple hundred balls at Blue Heron today, it was clear that the climate here has changed dramatically. Spring felt over, at least for the moment.

To open the ShopRite LPGA Classic's ceremonies on March 23rd, a "Women's Forum" was held. I know not yet the details for this event, but they will be forthcoming. So, the next couple of days are prep for the volunteers and the arrival of the players. Monday is the start of the qualifying round and practice rounds for the players who have already qualified. Excitement squared!
