Weather.com Plays Golf

  • July 11, 2003
Weather.com is promoting its new golf-oriented features. The Golf section enables golfers to easily monitor weather conditions at local courses as well as national tournaments. Golfers will find 10-day forecasts for 80,000 locations worldwide, golf-related weather news and maps, such as U.S. Thunderstorm Forecast. It also includes hour-by-hour Forecast for any location, allowing golfers to pick the best tee time, a golf course locator and updated tournament schedules. Golfers interested in using the Golf Course Locator enter a city or zip code and weather.com provides a listing of local courses from a database of 18,000 across the country. The site's Golf Index then assigns each course a numeric ranking from 1-10, with 10 representing ideal weather conditions for golf. After selecting a particular course, users also receive a 10-day forecast specific to that location, and course details such as green fees, open season and guest policy.
