Afternoon wind walks the stain toward the toe while you still feel centered.

Calum Reed logs pool hours the way a lock tender logs elevation: onshore Columbia afternoons, Red Mountain dust days, the rare fog that sits on the river until ten. Toe-print contact in this town is a weather sheet, not a round count.

If you play Southridge in July heat, the rye goes firm and the toe becomes a landing strip. If you only chip at Vista Field in January, the same sole can still print inside the second groove. Tell the desk the hour you actually play, not the handicap you recite.

We will not flatten a winter face for a summer wind you never mentioned. The chamber has a memory for that kind of omission.
