The Deutsche Bank Championship and Hurricane Earl
by progolf on Aug 31, 2010 3:35 PM EDT
Email
PrintWell, here it comes, targeting the East Coast of New England - especially the Cape Cod area and just 35 miles southeast of Norton, Ma. Norton is where TPC Boston lives - the home of this week's tournament.
Right now, all the radar trackers have the hurricane either making a direct hit or brushing the coast line of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine before then pushing forward to Nova Scotia, Canada.
It's bad news for the Deutsche Bank Championship, as landfall for Earl is on schedule to happen early Friday and drop some 5-7 inches of rain and who-knows-what-type of wind damage, with predictions now ranging from 55-130 MPH winds.
I'm heading up there later today as I have a summer home that sits right at sea level, a mere 165 feet from the Atlantic during high tide cycle. I need to tighten things up a bit prior to Friday. In 1991, the Perfect Storm left me with four feet of water in my living room from the storm surge.
Let's all hope that the weathermen are wrong as usual, but at the moment it's not looking too promising.

Jumpn.......I have a lot of experience
with hurricanes and I can tell you that although the forecasting has improved over the years, these big storms can and will do whatever they want…..you never know where they will end up. Hopefully you and your house will be safe. If it does hit up there, stay away from the water…….storm surge is what kills most people…….
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
EM..ya forgot to tell him to make sure his brother
doesn’t lose his boat, cause they need that to go get my Lobsters….And yea, Jump really shouldn’t go near the water…Last time he did, if memory serves me correctly, he fell in…I do hope he has his water wings on too….can’t be too careful these days…If we didn’t have him around, whose nose would we tweak?….Jist sayin ya unnerstan…..STUB
55 – 130 mph ? Why not just throw the entire range of hurricane force winds into that “prediction”.
Earl isn’t even past Cuba yet – how the heck is it going to get to Boston in 2 days ? That’s just dumb. Where are you getting this stuff ?
According to NOAA, the POSSIBILITY of MA getting hurricane force winds is 5% – and that may not happen until Sunday. Landfall is predicted for the Outter Banks along North Carolina – if at all. Right now, the predictions for tripical storm winds are only 40% by Sunday.
They may get some breeze and they may get some rain – but it won’t be what you’re talking about.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Yeah, but you gotta watch those "tripical" force winds.........:)
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
Bob Dylan may agree with you, Court, but we DO need a
weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
(J/K)
And btw, get sick, get well, hang around the inkwell.
Sheer profundity.
Those are actual lyrics, Wendy, to Bob Dylan's
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” song from way back.
So try inverted commas next time
to give me a clue. Know the song – just don’t know all the lyrics off by heart in the way you do.
Oooo – that’s a good one ! (but a GOOD weather man will tell you that you can’t predict the weather with any kind of accuracy more than 18 hours in advanced, and a lot of that will be wrong)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Court........Right and Hurricanes have always been
very temperamental (maybe that’s why they were always name after women) and are hard to predict. We (as you know) have had our share of storms the last ten years and I don’t think a single one did as they predicted……even in the final hours prior to Katrina they still weren’t sure exactly where landfall would take place.
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
Radar Trackers Court
All computer models have it heading into the East Coast of New England.
The “Perfect Storm” in 1991 was not predicted either and the 4 ft of water in my living room was not just some imaginary puddle of water.
This from NOAA. Hurricane Earl: East Coast threat.
August 31, 2010 10:50 am ET Earl is now a category 4 major hurricane. It’s moving fast, and could impact the East Coast Thursday and Friday.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
This also
http://www.weather.com/outlook/videos/tropical-update-6584#6584
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
East Coast – take a look at the pictures – North Carolina – also part of the east coast (not just New York and Boston).
Wasn’t the Perfect Storm a collision of three storm fronts ? Right now, this is the only one heading that direction and it’s still short of Cuba. It’s not going to be in Boston as a hurricane by Friday. They don’t move that fast.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
projected track
as best I can figure Earl should begin effecting Massachusetts sometime Saturday, probably later in the day.
"(I)f you think you've got an inside track to absolute truth, you become doctrinaire, humorless and intellectually constipated." Saul Alinsky
cool animation, D – where did you find this ?
that’s at least 12 “projected” tracks – the worst of them might barely brush the coast of North Carolina. A few of them are following the same path as Charlie, that went all the way over to the UK and made a mess of a few areas in 2004.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
and accuweather.com
People along the central and northern Atlantic Seaboard, especially the Outer Banks, eastern Long Island, Cape Cod, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland should be taking mighty Hurricane Earl very seriously.
So your saying your quoted NOAA people are wrong ?
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Ok I gota head out and catch my flight to Boston.
Just for Court I’ll take some pictures on FRIDAY of the weather in the area and perhaps shoot a video of the storm surge as it rides up the coast.
Time stamped and dated. lol
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Stay safe.......
and don’t worry, Court will bribe the weather service to make sure he is right……:)
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
No – I’m saying that RB’s interpretation of what is being said is wrong. Earl will not be a hurricane making landfall in New England on Friday. The prediction for landfall right now is along the Outter Banks of NC in the next couple of days, then moving up the coast. RB’s prediction of 5-7" of rain on Friday are a WAG at best. Earl is down in the Bahamas right now – it is not going to move inland and then up and make it to New England in 3 days.
My WAG ? It some of the outter bands might start blowing up there by the weekend, but it’s not going to be a hurricane. Since Katrina, the weather bureaus have been erring on the side of the Apocolypse in their storm preditctions. Back in the spring, the weather people down here were predicting upwards of 20 hurricanes…I’m shocked that they didn’t predict that the entire southeast US would be swallowed up and sucked out to sea.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Poor RB......gets blamed for everything.....even the ones he doesn't write.....:)
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
FWIW, every forecast I have seen up here in Boston predicts oppressive heat through Thursday, a washout Friday as Earl goes by to the East and then a beautiful Labor Day weekend with sun and mid to high 70s Sat-Mon.
The Earl talk from the weather folks up here is essentially all like this from Boston.com
“As the state continued to sweat through a five-day heat wave today, forecasters keeping a close eye on Hurricane Earl said there was a small possibility the cyclone could move west and make landfall on Massachusetts shores later this week.”
Dontcha love the “cone of possibiity” that the Weather Channel people came up with ? If a Hurricane passes anywhere within a thousand square miles, they get to say they were right. :-) Oh well – hope for the best and it will blow off shore long before it gets to the Norheast. Those people have 6 months of winter to deal with as it is.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
This could make a mess of the US Open in New York for a couple of days.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
TX...not only could, but in all
probability, will…They’s Nu Yaks ain’t they….just no couth….STUB
I've arrived
heck it’s as hot in Boston as it was in Florida when I left, sheeesh LMAO @ Court thinking Ryan wrote this article. Court the info I posted is from the weather channel and NOAA. RYAN, thanks for adding the graffic.
Stubbo, My brothers boat is coming out of the harbor tomorow along with the other commercial fishing boats. I think perhaps I should consult, Al Roker a/k/a Court for the next few Hurricane updates. I’ll be on the course in Norton, Ma. tomorrow morning and on Thursday as well. Heading back up to NH to my home early on Friday as it looks as if the storm will be coming through early on Sat. morning.
COURT, please give me some updates on the Hurricane as things progress, because it seems all the weather reporters could use your help. :o)
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
My bad – I knew RB didn’t write that on the first post. Ooops. But you tell me how this hurricane is going to get from Cuba to New England by Friday. Even NOAA and TWC aren’t saying that. They’re posting Saturday.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Duh Court, I don't think you read everything.
READ my post above yours, I updated it to SATURDAY, but I’m watching the weather channel right now and they are saying Late friday night into all day saturday. LOLOL Don’t shoot the messenger. I have a big Real Estate investment via my coastal home so, I do pay attention to any and all reports I can find. I’ve lived on the coast of the Atlantic, ( Nova Scotia, Canada, Cape Cod, Ma.. Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. and Rye Beach NH ) for most of my life and I’m some what of an Old Salt and know a little about coastal storms. BTW, The Perfect Storm was indeed 3 storms of which none of them were Hurricanes, but caused major damage along the NE coastline including the 4 ft of water in my first floor. This past winter in NH the small winter storm with 50-60 MPH winds caused major damage along the coast including some to my summer place, so yeah I do pay attention. {;o)
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Yes – and when this started, you said Friday. (nyah) (lol) Hope the house doesn’t have any problems if the storm hits close by.
Where is your brother going to take his boat for safe keeping ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Like I said Court I get my info from NOAA and TWC and a few other places.
Funny you should ask about my brothers boat, as I just got off of the phone with him and he says he and 6 other guys are taking their boats inland to a small town called, Weeks Mills, ( where men are men and the sheep are nervous) in Maine. I think its about 50 miles or so inland and it’s where they store them for a couple of months in the winter.
Thursday I have a crew coming to mine and a few neighbors houses to do some boarding up and sand bagging. Things are not looking to good for the tournament on Sat or Sunday in Norton. The course will be soaked and who knows about wind damage and downed trees at this point.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
A little positive energy, willya ?
Wow – hope he takes some pictures. I’d like to see that 200’ cabin cruiser being moved inland. Didh’t you say he got it from the Norwegian Cruise Line people ? :-) Glad he’s getting it out of the way early. My brother lives in Florida and he’s always amazed at the people who don’t take these things seriously early enough.
NOAA still has it only as a 40% chance of tropical force winds and 10% chance of hurricane force winds.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
ok Al Roker
200 ft ? lololol Nah its a 70 ft commercial lobster boat.
Good thing your brother dusn listen to you Cour.t HAHAHA
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Oooo – the ones with the big claws ? (lol) And he DID listen to me – last time a hurricane was heading his way (Ft Myers), I got on him to pack up the family and get up here before the highway turned into a parking lot. He beat the rush by about 4 hours and ended up here almost a week before the power was on at his house.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Big Claws ?
8 ft lobster pots are brought on board with a big rolling winch. Once in a while if he is lucky a couple of mermaids.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
lobster boat…claws…
Lobster pots ? I thought traps were metal and wire boxes.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
COURT.....Forget all that...
Jumpn, tell us about the mermaids!!!…..:)
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
I call them traps also
But the old school Mainers call them POTS. yep metal and wire boxes. I still don’t know what the Claws you talk of are. Lobster Claws or perhaps the thing that looks like a claw that puts the rubber bands on the lobsters claws ? Heck, I’m in the golf industry but I do love lobster.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
(just joking around – lobster boat…boat shaped like a lobster….you’re going to fall out of bed around 3:00am laughing)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Wont be the first time I've fallen out of bed up here...
It’s aleays my g/f fault, she’s a bed hog a/k/a cuddler, makes me crazy. No king size beds at the summer place, just queen size and she is the queen.
ok ok ok, I lied about the Mermaids, more like Sea Hags up in Rockland Harbor. LOLOL Also known as Dock Wenches. I swear I saw Tiger, o’h never mind.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Hey Jump...be damm careful
up there….they say the misquitoes are so big this year, they’re actually picking golfers off the course and takin them away for dinner later……STUB
I've noticed Stub lol
And its 95 here today as well and gonna be the same again tomorrow and then the hurricane begins on Friday night I’m told
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Nice Job OMP
Cept for one thing, lol You only posted what is going to happen at the hours of 2AM and 2PM. I guess we are all safe the rest of the time.
In keeping with the theme of this Fan Post it would appear that the tournament will be directly effected. The local news here in the Massachusetts is saying that Cape Cod and the Islands will get hammered in the early hours of Sat. morning.
As I mentioned earlier, Norton, Ma. is located just 35 miles north west of the Cape.
Sunny and very warm this morning in Norton. I saw Jim Furyk on the range at 6:20 AM. Apparently he has a new phone.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Storm has been shifting east more and more...

Weather “Underground” eh ? Hmmm – a secret weather predicting society….veeeeerrryy interesting. :-)
I like the red line that goes across Nova Scotia, then ricochetes off of a road sign in northern Canada and goes over to Greenland
So what we learn is that NOAA, TWC, and WU are all looking at the same information and coming up with dozens of completely different “predictions”.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Somehow I knew you would say that. :-)
WU is only reporting the main models that are used. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it was founded in 1995 as an offshoot of the University of Michigan’s Internet weather database and is run by Dr. Jeff Masters. It is one of the best weather websites on the Internet, and gives a whole picture instead of a condensed forecast.
As for the models, it seems you don’t know who produces them:
UKMET is produced by the (surprise) the United Kingdom’s national weather service.
The Global Forecast System (GFS) is a global numerical weather prediction computer model run by NOAA on supercomputers.
NOGAPS is produced by the US Naval Observatory.
and so forth and so on.
With each storm, data are fed into the respective modeling systems and a product produced based on historical records, physics and so forth and so on. Then that storm too becomes part of future models.
This isn’t like the old days of Charlie Stump on channel 9 in Orlando looking at a weather map and giving it his best estimation of what would happen next.
and so forth and so on.

Court
Good observation, I also have seen 4 different models from 4 different weather outlets. I will be attempting to take a few photos and a short video to post if the weather allows from here, http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl and if I can get enough light from my Atlantic Fog lights I have mounted on the house. The worst is suppose to hit between midnight and 6:00 am on Saturday.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Don’t forget to lean into the wind and have people tossing chairs and trash…in the opposite direction as the wind like The Weather Channel does. :-)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I hear they do that from time to time court, also
In the very early days of TWC when they only had one or two overhyped reporters to send out to a probable Hurricane landing location, they got caught using large commercial fans on the scene because the storm had moved in a different direction thus having nothing to report. Today they have 8-10 reporters spread all up and down the east coast from North Narolina to Maine to make sure they get it correct. LOL
TGC and TWC run a close first and second with their oversensationalism of reporting.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
…and both are NBC/Universal soon to be Comcast owned outlets.
Go figure.
by Charles Boyer on Sep 1, 2010 10:38 AM EDT up reply actions
They STILL get caught doing things like that. They’ll walk out into the water then report that the storm surge is coming in. Last year, they were talking about how bad things were, leaning with the wind and all that stuff, but there were people in the back of the shot taking nice strolls on a pier.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
LOLOLOL true true
The best one was 2 years ago when they had reporters live somewhere reporting on the flooding. They were in a small row boat ,microphone in hand, talking louder than needed, (for effect) reporting on how deep the water was and how it was necessary to need a boat of some sort. Suddenly a young couple walks casually by behind them and the water was not even up to their knees. I fell off the couch laughing so hard. I believe that video is still on you tube somewhere.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
I remember that video. It was hilarious.
Still, I wouldn’t wanna be crowned the Dupe of Earl, as catchy a song title it might be.
Stewart Cink did a good Weather Channel cameo
’cos I feel left out of this hurricane business (& hope to stay that way). Still hope all OK with PG.
I presume PG kicked ass shadow-boxing, so he should have little to no trouble

Thanks Wendy
All is well here in Norton, Massachusetts at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
The Hurricane is days away at this point, but with the way some of my clients are acting you would think they are starting an early search for Life Boats on the Titanic. lol
We have 23 clients this week and the 4 that are from Japan are nervous Nelly’s. You would think they of all people would be the least concerned as Japan gets hit with many a typhoon and hurricane. I’ve already re-booked several clients into hotels that are 70 miles from the golf course. Two clients from Spain want to leave on the next flight out. LOL
I’m the one that should be worried as my home is just 165 ft from the high tide mark of the Atlantic.
Life goes on. Enjoy the tournament and I’ll keep ya updated.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
they’re just pretending to be nervous so you’ll bring extra deviled eggs and cigars in the evening. :-)
how many people do you try to have on staff for a group this size ?
they’re having a gusty time of it on Kill Devil Island today – no small craft allowed out and they recommended evacuation, but there are still a bunch of folks staying.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Court
I have 7 on staff this week including myself. I have an eighth flying in tomorrow night to take my place as I’ll be headed North until the storm goes by.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Just like I estimated: It takes 8 guys to replace you.
by TXQ on Sep 1, 2010 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions
Nah
They are in good hands with my girl Sarah, Those 4 Japanese guys love her to pieces and they ask for her for every event they come over for. She should be good for about a 6-7 hundred dollar tip by weeks end. Service with a Big Ole Smile does it every time. Sarah has been on my staff for 4 years now and is well liked by every client.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
wait – so the big strong guy is skipping town for he storm leaving cute, sweet, lil’ ol’ Sarah in the path of Earl and the nervous Japanese guys ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Well then....
Sarah says hi and to tell ya she’s more than capable on handling the 4 guys from Japan. BTW she’s 5’9" and a mere 28 y/o and says to tell ya she’s not little nor old. lmao
Still don’t know the exact path of El Earl, but guess what Court ? The forcasters are back where this all started and saying it WILL be hitting Cape Cod later in the day on FRIDAY. LOLOL
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
lol – well – I guess they’ll get to say they’re right if the outter bands start pushing water around.
you’ll have to explain the southern interpretation of "sweet’ lil’ ol’ " to Sarah. (lol)
Still hoping for the best – this is not going to be a gentle summer storm passing by
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Damn it the google map didn't post it.
well punch in 26 Old Beach Road , Rye NH
LOL at Charlie Stump name, So as a weather man he was often Stumped. lol
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Ole Charlie was a great forecaster, and this was back during the Apollo days when there were birds (rockets) sitting out on the launch pad that took three days to move to and from their hangars. You could bet that a storm like Earl had everyone’s attention…anyway, Charlie was their go to guy.

I swear If I hear.....
One more person being interviewed that uses the words “Hunkering Down” when referring to what they plan on doing during the storm, I’m gonna hit the TV with a 2 iron. These same people will be the ones that are standing out on the rocks when the waves start crashing over the Jetty taking pictures.
It’s so over used like “grinded it out”
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Or "brushing the coast"

Hey CG...is that anything like that ol song
“knuckle down Winsocki, knuckle down” STUB
Just pulled up NOAA
their “predcition” now has Earl creeping along from 8am Wednesday to 8am Thursday going from a line abut the Georgia / Florida border to the Outter Banks of North Carolina – THEN – he somehow changes gears and goes more than twice as far in the next 24 hours. Must be that good North Carolina barbecue.

It’s actually going to meet up with a dip in the jet stream that is supposed to accompany the cold front currently in the midwest.

cool article – even into the comments. his prediction was for Earl to get in the area of the tournament after 8pm Friday night and roll through for the next 6-12 hours with winds in the 40 mph range. If he’s right, maybe they’ll only have to put up with a wet golf course over the weekend.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
It has just been reported that Earl has turned more Northerly
and will be affecting New England worse than previously predicted.
Hey, Jumpn take care and stay dry.
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
Thanks EM, you are correct. THIS JUST IN ::: from the National Weather Center
Hurricane Earl will slam North Carolina’s Outer Banks tonight. Earl’s next stop is Long Island and Cape Cod. Millions of people will be affected by this massive storm.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Just heard that on our news too
Maybe there’s a chance it will turn east – do hope so – stay safe as you can.
That’s one big stom. The eye is still down along a line with the soutnern tip of South Carolina and the top of the organized bands is up almost to Viriginia. Just hope the eye stays out to sea.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
It's cloudy and breezy here
We’re on the fringes of any bands, but the sun hasn’t been out 20 minutes all day and the clouds are all in parallel lines across the sky. We’re getting somewhat unusual puffy breezes too, but nothing that would even affect a golf shot too much.
And we’re 125 miles inland and the storm is some 400 miles away.

Can you try watching Live@ on www.pgatour.com? I’m having no luck!
I gave up on Yahoo – I missed 2 weeks in a row awhile back and just never got back into it – I am doing www.kerplookee.com fantasy golf instead. Really enjoying it.
I write about golf at www.tees2greens.com, too.
Well...
Fudgecicle!!! I just tried again now and am still getting the “video unavailable” on my screen. I have tried in both Explorer and Firefox…I don’t know what else to try.
I write about golf at www.tees2greens.com, too.
I don't know why you can't..
Have you got the right media player downloaded ? Or maybe your firewall is blocking it. Someone here must know…I’m just a 52 year old fossil on these things, lol
Red..... It came right up on my computer.....
I use firefox and they are right now talking about thunder and rain in the area. Sorry I didn’t get this, I just got back home. I quit kerplookee a long time ago, but am doing well in Yahoo, 6th overall and a great start today…..They just announced play has been suspended.
The Saints ARE the SUPER BOWL CHAMPS....WHO DAT!
I just looked...
at the leaderboard and noticed that play had been suspended…bummer! Here’s the thing about Fantasy golf that drives me crazy – I pick, second guess, research, and every single week I have at least 2 guys on my short list that I drop off that end up doing great!!
Last week I thought FINALLY! I had Kuch and Stricker, waived in Laird, but still wasn’t even close to winning. I think I would just be better off just rooting for my faves every week. :-) (Liking Stricker’s -5 through 17 today!) Although this course seems ripe for birdies…LOTS of low scores so far. Hope this weather passes soon.
I write about golf at www.tees2greens.com, too.
I like the basic format of the Yahoo fantasy, but I get so
aggravated that their program isn’t better. I’ve had 3 or 4 guys wd or not play for whatever reason, the program should automatically put the bench play in. And when there are weather delays, you have about a 2 minute window to make changes for the next round, so I’ve had guys MC and not be able to put in my bench player. One week, these two things cost me 30 points…..I was torked!
