STILLWATER — The storms that hit Karsten Creek Golf Club early Friday causing two delays were no surprise to Renny Vandewege.
Vandewege, the senior vice president of business development for Weather Decision Technologies in Norman, is the on-site meteorologist, a position in which Karsten Creek was required to hire in order to host the NCAA men's and women's golf championships.
Tucked away in the T. Boone Pickens lodge, Vandewege is constantly watching the weather and staying nearly a day ahead of what could happen. The NCAA started requiring courses to have a meteorologist available in 2014 to help assist with weather decisions.
