you gotta love it

Day 3 is in the books...it was a good day. As usual, with golf there are the fantastic shots and the not so fantastic...so it was today. Karla started it off with a completely different game than yesterday. Ball-striking yesterday was wonderful, putting not so much. Today Karla was a player...not necessarily hitting it exactly how or where she wanted to but finding a way to get it in the hole...result 6 shots better than yesterday, posting a 78. One of my favorite shots was the water shot, shown below...played like a real pro!

Jordan then headed out and as has been her modus operandi (is that right?) she birdied the first hole and scorched her way through the first nine with a -1 35. One of the highlights of the nine, her 310 yard drive on the 312 yard hole...made my job of giving her the yardage a real breeze on that one! The second nine was a little more of an adventure, but she still managed to bring it around with a respectable 77. In her words, "that was the worst 77 I've ever shot!" What I'm enjoying, apart from the pure fun of being around and observing all types of golfers all day is seeing how Jordan and Karla are representing Macalester at the national level...they are making me proud to be their coach! One day to go...
