With all due respect to Bing Crosby and every other crooner who made "Dreaming of a White Christmas" such a yuletide staple, there's a movement afoot to change the lyrics.
Myrtle Beach golf course superintendents plan to revise the classic into a singing prayer next year with the new title: "Dreaming of a Dry Christmas."
There's been so much rain along the Grand Strand over the past six weeks that golf courses and the men and women who manage them are pretty well waterlogged.
"It's important for golfers to realize that this has nothing to do with courses being over-irrigated," said Clay DuBose, certified golf course superintendent and general manager at The Tradition Club.
"The only reason any superintendent would irrigate at the moment is to water in an application of some kind or maybe to flush out or carry out maintenance on the system.
"Courses are wet because of the amount of rain we've had and the micro-climate at this time of year."
