> Another nuclear day at 3rd on Thursday. COTW clocked a 31 knots
BTW, that's an average of 31 (actually, I think COTW is mph, not knots). Some
of the gusts were over 40!
Thanks for correcting me. BTW I asked the golf course architect
whether it was at all practical to play golf in 40 mph winds. He said
this would certainly "affect the ball" but that the course is designed
with the wind in mind and that the holes are pretty short anyway
(125yds average). My take is that some of these guys are gonna beat
yardage records. Maybe they should have put a green at the old launch
with the cove as an obstacle...
The developers also brought up an engineering study claiming that the
nets did not create any wind shadow except for a few feet behind the
nets (some of which will be as high as 110 feet). In some way, it
makes sense, because if these nets were an obstacle to wind, they
would get slammed down in no time. Bottom line, if these nets take our
wind away, our wind will quickly take care of these nets...
