CALL AHEAD: Even if the sun shines bright today, you’d better call ahead if you want to play golf. Many local courses report that the continuing rains make them “iffy” for today even with good weather. . . . “Our greens just have tons of water,” says a spokeswoman at Dove Canyon Country Club. The Links at Monarch Beach expects to be open but won’t permit electric carts. But golfers will find a bargain: Its stiff $65 greens fee will be reduced to $45 for the day.
