Give Long Islanders clear grass, a sunny sky and 50-degree temps in late February and all of a sudden you're battling for tee times as if it's an August morning at Bethpage. After being snowed out for two months, Golf On Long Island was gearing up to make its 2011 debut this afternoon, but another obstacle clogged the fairways -- a loaded tee sheet at Lido.
The 2011 season instead began at the Lido driving range and the windy upper tier at Heartland Golf Park. Waits for Heartland's 50 heated, auto-tee stalls on the ground floor were as long as one hour.
