Air Capital Classic (Wichita, KS) - First Round

After a few hot and very windy days of practice, we teed off this morning in some cooler conditions. The winds completely turned 180 degrees and blew out of the northeast this morning. After three days of practice in a strong, 30mph, southwest wind; today was very interesting as we had to figure out and trust the clubs and new lines off the tees. 

Kevin's game today was just plain vanilla. We didn't do anything special. Hitting 10/14 fairways, 13/18 greens, 4/6 up and downs with 30 total putts, Kevin finished the day with a one under par round (70). The biggest mistake came on the par three, 12th. Playing into the wind and just needing a solid shot, Kevin hit a fat five iron that failed to carry the water hazard. Absolutely irate for making a double bogey, it lit a fire under his ass. He stepped up and finished the day off making four birdies on the last six holes. 

Not feeling completely in sync with his swing, we headed out to the range after the round and just worked simply on smoothing out the takeaway. He gets a little anxious out on the course and sometimes "snatches" the club away which then gets the arms and body out of sync. Just trying to keep the thoughts simple, he started hitting the ball much better this afternoon. 

The forecast for the rest of the week is back to hot and humid conditions. The wind will also pick up and move back to the southwest direction we had during the beginning of the week. We tee off tomorrow at 1:20 off number ten.
