Kevin flew in from The Greenbrier on Sunday night. I was not able to get here until Monday evening. Kevin went out to the club on Monday and practiced. He was excited to find Jose Maria Olazabal practicing his short game. Kevin asked a few questions and the next thing you know, Jose is explaining his technique and giving Kevin a short game lesson. What a great opportunity to learn something from a two-time Masters Champion who learned his short game from the greatest of all time, Seve Ballesteros.
On Tuesday, we played a practice round with Colt Knost, Andes Gonzales and Chez Reavie. Kevin was not happy with his ball striking and was very aggravated with how he was hitting it. After a long, tense practice round, we went to the range and worked on it. It was a tough day on both of us but we left the golf course with some positive thoughts and we were looking forward to getting back at it on Wednesday.
Today, we decided to get our work done on the golf course so we played nine holes before the pro-am at 6am. Kevin hit it great. We had a nice practice round with just the two of us. He was able to hit some extra tee shots and get some work in around the greens. It was exactly what we needed. After a little breakfast, we went through out normal practice routine (shooting balls, chipping and putting) and finished up around noon. Kevin was chosen for the Sponsor Value Program this week, so he had a meet and greet function at 2:30. He left to get his workout in before his function.
We tee off tomorrow at 8:50 with Sunghoon Kang and Creighton Honeck.
