The Paiute Golf Resort had a big surprise for all the 2010 NCGC competitors on Saturday - 20-25 mile per hour winds. The Skills Challenge Competition highlighted great distance on the range for the Longest Drive competition as it was held in a location 'downwind' while the nine-hole course chipping and putting areas were definitely a 'challenge' for all participating.
The 7600-yard Wolf Course set the stage for all competitors to preview and strategize their play for Sunday. The wind did not help to allay fears of what would happen during the Championship round. The fairways and rough were in great shape and the greens were firm and fast. Combined with 20+ mile per hour winds, the course played long for many and the greens were slick as a simple 6-ft putt would roll past with a return 12-foot putt (at minimum) expected if the wind and green speed (12+ on the stimp meter) were not considered.
