Last night, my Dad and I figured out some 'mental' things together to improve my approach to each golf shot and those ideas really clicked today. It went so well that my Dad called today's round 'free and easy'. I shot 70 (1 under) (two day total 147) with 3 birdies and 2 bogeys. I stand in 3rd place after two rounds, behind Peter Scully (143) and Rob Lynch (141). We have Monday - Friday off before completing the final two rounds.
Amazingly, I followed my own advice on how to win the club championship and completed a solid round w/ birdies, confidence, patience, and good putting (29 putts!).
The weather held up nice for the men's and women's club championship. In terms of average score, the field seemed to shoot higher today. Possibly due to higher wind speeds and fatigue, maybe? It was hot (felt like 90)!
SPECIAL THANKS to my wonderful friends Brandin and Tracy for coming to watch me. They certainly helped me will in some putts out there today, especially my 20 footer from above the pin on 16 to save par. It was the shot of the day to keep me at level par thru 16.
Next weekend will be a lot of fun. Don't anybody give up.
Be healthy and be happy this week
p.s.: Wednesday should be my first blog of a golf event outside of Lexington, stay tuned
Way to go, Kurt! Emily
