The round today got off to a decent start. Kevin hit it well early in the round, we had some good looks at birdie, and only a three putt bogey on the third hole was the cause of us being over par through seven holes. Trying to stay patient, letting the round come to us, and knowing we would have a lot more opportunities, all was good as we had a two group wait on the long par three 8th.
But that all changed when a poor swing sent the tee shot right into a hazard and we finished the 8th with a double bogey five. The poor swing unsettled Kevin. He hates the feeling he gets when he misses shots to the right and he would fight that feeling for the rest of the day. But as bad as he was feeling, he still hit a lot of quality shots and we had plenty of opportunities to get the round in at par or better. His speed was a little off with the putter and a few putts that looked good refused to fall in.
After the round, we had a long practice session. He is putting the time in and will not be out worked. He has kept a great attitude and welcomes the challenge. We will go out and give it hell tomorrow and if it doesn't work out, we will be better prepared for next week.
Out tee time is 1:10 tomorrow afternoon.
