Snow Delay At Bandon Dunes
I received an e-mail today from Jake Ramirez, subject line: "Sunday at Bandon."
Ramirez attached this picture of the 18th at the Bandon Dunes course:

If you've been following along, you'll remember Jake Ramirez and his band of buddies who get great value by going to Bandon Dunes the weekend before Thanksgiving. (*Ramirez is second from the left.*)
In Ambush No. 19, Ramirez and company scored short-sleeves weather. Click here for the link to the story.
I just checked weather.com; it's 38 degrees at Bandon Dunes right now. Tomorrow it will be 44 degrees, and on Thanksgiving Day, it will creep up to a high of 49 degrees.
I called reservations. Deborah confirmed the same deal as last year still applies this year, and she said that Bandon Dunes does get the occasional dusting of snow. "But it doesn't stick for long," she says. "This morning it delayed our start, that's for sure."
