Yesterday we had our practice round at the course. We started the day with a little shopping spree at the NCAA tent picking out some sweet gear to bring home with us. The course is in great shape and will be a fun challenge for the week. On top of the birdies and eagles we hope to make, we ran into a few snakes and turtles on the course. This taught us to keep the ball straight in the fairway instead of the fescue and hazards that line the holes. None the less we enjoyed the day in the sunshine and topped our night off with an ice cream stop at a cute local store called Jersey Junction.
Today was the first round of the National Championship! The atmosphere was electric. It was so cool to be in a place with such a professional atmosphere and so many great golfers. The team went into today with an attitude of confidence. We all wanted to stay relaxed, have fun, and do our best. Molly came out strong and shot a 73. What a STUD! This being her last golf tournament in college she came out and wanted to leave a mark. She will be missed in every way next year. I shot 76, ending my round with a nice birdie. Tay Tay stepped up and fired a 77. Awesome way to start the tournament! Kaytie shot 86 and Monica shot 88. Both are already looking forward to going low tomorrow! The team stands in 8th place after today’s round. Tonight the NCAA sponsored a pizza party and movie. They rented out a theater for us and showed “Water for Elephants.” We had a fun night and got to see a great movie!
Pictures will be posted after our round tomorrow (Thursday).
It’s time for me to check out for the night, another early morning tomorrow. Be sure to follow us with live scoring!
