I've found weather.com to be less accurate than some others, I'm not sure what site Tim is sourcing the weather from.

The icons look like the ones that NOAA uses. A lot of other weather sites rely on information from NOAA, so this just bypasses the middleman. It's where I generally go for all of my weather info and it tends to be pretty accurate.
weather.com is awful.
edit: actually if you click on the forecast it takes you to the source, Weather Underground. Another source that is far better than weather.com.

Ive never found weather.com to be far off. No more than your average morning weatherman (which doesnt say much)
still shows mostly sunny, temp is about the same, but the rain is showed at night. maybe weather underground just uses one icon for the whole day? regardless, thanks for the insight guys

Weather.com bought Weather Underground a year or two ago. Not much has changed since the transition of ownership though, so looks like the WUnderground guys are still doing their thing.

Weather is sourced from the NOAA. I've found it to be fairly accurate most of the time.
Glad to see everyone likes my suggestion to include the weather widget.

I REALLY wish that people would spend more time updating courses and less time flaming people here.

Yep. I did this yesterday. Crystal Lake in Beaver Dam and Horicon.
It's a really great tool.

I actually update course conditions most of the time (unless it's just like the existing comment), because I think it helps me pick a course to play in an evening after work. It would be frustrating to drive a ways only to find out the course is flooded or if holes are blocked because of an event at the park... If they're kept really current (and you check how old the info is), course condition updates are really nice. :thmbup:
Will update Denver area courses (esp mountain courses) next week.
One more thought on conditions: It would be ideal if we were able to update conditions to a different date in the past (like a few weeks). That way if we didn't do it on the same day as played, it would be the most accurate reflection of current conditions.
oddly enough I bumped this exactly one year from the last post.. lol
used the updated conditions today and played my first round of 2014 thanks to a update which was on point as of yesterday'

The point of the course conditions is for them to be current, not a week in the past. Is the course still flooded from yesterday's torrents? Has the grass been recently mowed or is it still knee high? Maybe a storm went through last night and some trees are down... After a week or so, stuff like this has probably changed.
