Washout Wednesday - Sony Open

Heavy rains and flash flooding caused the PGA Tour to cancel the Wednesday pro-am and close all the practice facilities for the day. Kevin's off site pro-am was also cancelled but he had to go for the luncheon and a meet and greet session with the amateurs. We made it back to the hotel around 3pm. Not sure what he will do now. Maybe a movie, shopping, or an early dinner. I'm glad his parents and Brittany are here to help keep him occupied for the day. It is a tough way to spend the day before his very first round on the PGA Tour. At least the pro-am functions kept him busy part of the day.

The forecast for tomorrow is not much better. We got lucky and drew an afternoon tee time for Thursday. This means we will not have to go out early to the golf course and wait out delays if the weather is bad. We will have the luxury of sleeping in and waiting the delays out in comfort of the hotel room.

As for me, Geraldine and I are thinking about an early dinner. Longtime friends, Rick Newsome and Beverly flew down from Victoria, Canada yesterday. Rick made plans to come to Hawaii as soon as Kevin locked up his card last year on the Nationwide Tour. Rick was actually my caddy from the days when I played on the Canadian Tour. We all went to dinner last night with Kevin and his family and had a great time exchanging stories from the "old days."

Here is a picture I downloaded off of PGATour.com  It shows the 10th and 18th fairways under water from all of the rain.
