Did you know the wind forecast could change the layout of a golf course? Or how a sea breeze can bring about a change in your golf game? This week, we're talking with Stewart Williams, the DTN on-location meteorologist for the PGA Tour. Stewart and the PGA Tour are on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina this week for the 2020 RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing. Stewart explains how they forecast for the game, the greens, and the safety of golfers and fans alike. He explains how they track for thunderstorms and lightning - plus are on the lookout for fog, dew, and rain. A simple mph change in the wind can change how the golf ball flies. Stewart has your insider tips for a smart day of the green. (This is a premiere of a new episode, but our interview was recorded with Stewart in February ahead of what we thought was going to be the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte and other now-cancelled PGA Tour events in the Carolinas.)
