OK, this is gonna be short...the gals have me out on the course for about 9-10 hours the last 2 days, and again tomorrow. Leaves no time to do much except eat and sleep before we do it all over again. It's been a good couple of days...doesn't mean both Karla and Jordan wouldn't like to have some shots to do over, but hey, that's golf. Under pretty tough weather conditions yesterday they both hung in there and got the first rounds under their belts. Fortunately for me I was prepared for the variety of weather, from cold and extremely windy to foot-soaking rain...as you can see from my well-equipped cart, I believe I could survive a week in the wilderness...my players are lacking nothing out there! Today's weather was much more cooperative and I think for the first time this season I was down to only 2 layers of shirts, with comfort. Jordan had a nice round today and if the coach could figure out how to help her avoid triple bogies, it would be even better. It was nice to see her making lots of birdies as well as watching the booming drives...better yet, I loved the great course management which led to the improved scores. This afternoon Karla started out striking the ball fantastically, but her putter wasn't her friend. A round of tough putting is understandably frustrating, and always makes it seem like the whole game is bad. The truth was, there were many good things about Karla's game today and the best thing is she finally made some putts to end the round and no doubt, tomorrow will be a better day. On a better note, at the Awards Banquet tonight both Jordan and Karla were named to the Midwest All-Region team so this long day ended with some much deserved recognition for a good year for both of them.
until tomorrow...
Martha
