Score - 74 (T12 out of 60)
It was my third consecutive day of tournament golf! One day after a disappointing 78 in the second round of the LGC club championship, I had a chance to erase those thoughts. The day was humbling because I was expecting a wash out (forecast was scattered thunderstorms all day) and it made me realize how excited I was to play and fortunate to have these opportunities. My ride along the Mass Pike for 90+ miles included consistent, heavy rain, some torrential enough to ruin vision beyond a few yards. I pulled over in Charlton to call The Ranch about tee time status. The lady in the pro shop says, "On time, 8am off 10 and 1. Thanks."
What!? Okay? I thought in disbelief. When I pulled into the Ranch at 745am, there was no rain and partly sunny. It stayed that way all day! I took advantage making birdie on the Par 5 1st and then going out in 37. I was in the hunt with a strong back nine!
Bogeys at 11 and 12 set me back but I held strong and came in with 37. I battled all the way to the last putt. I missed the cut by 3 shots. I missed 8 putts inside 10 feet. It is a very fine line out here; if my putter was hot I was in. Great experience. Great golf course. My playing partners J. White and K. Harrington were fun to walk with. Me and K. Harrington talked a lot of hoops, given his bro is the former trainer of Kevin Durant!
Good luck to the qualifiers at Saucon Valley. I will be rooting for you.
Savor each experience (good or bad),
K
p.s. Reflecting on a confident mind set, more aggressive play on long 4s and par-5s.
