Live from Long Beach’s soaked fairways
While most of Long Beach huddled indoors, a brave few took to the greens—armed with umbrellas, rain gloves, and questionable judgment. Our field reporter hit Rec Park, El Dorado, and Skylinks to investigate: who’s golfing in this weather?
At Rec Park 18, ten determined players splashed their way through puddled tee boxes and soggy fairways. El Dorado hosted nine more, including a twosome making the turn who insisted, “This is perfect golf weather!” Skylinks? Locked up. No carts, no swings, no mercy.
The rain came sideways. The turf squished underfoot. And yet, the spirit of Long Beach golf endured. Photos captured soaked smiles and dripping gear. Interviews revealed a mix of stubborn pride and weather-induced delirium.
But here’s the serious part: more rain is coming. Courses may go cart-path only, and for good reason. Saturated ground is fragile—one off-path cart can tear up turf that takes weeks to recover. Respect the course. Stay on the path.
And off the course? Streets are flooding. City workers were spotted pumping water at Studebaker and Willow, trying to keep the roads clear. So whether you’re chasing birdies or just trying to get home, stay dry, stay safe, and remember: Cart Path Only means Cart Path Only.
