Rolling into town on Sunday, we checked into the hotel, showered, and went out to the host club at PGA West. The Bob Hope is a five day event that is played on four different golf courses. We hit some balls and then played the front nine on the Nicklaus Course. All the golf courses are up against a mountain and have some unbelievable views.
We woke up early on Monday and played 18 at La Quinta Country Club. This course is in the best shape. Everything was perfect. Kevin was still having issues with his swing but his instructor, Hugh Royer is flying in today. After the round, we went back to the host club and worked on the short game until Hugh arrived. After a big session on the range, we all went out and played nine holes on the Palmer course at PGA West. Kevin's swing is getting better and his shots are getting tighter. He is still not thrilled with it but we are seeing progress.
Tuesday morning we played 18 at Silver Rock. The hard work is starting to pay off. After a frustrating front nine, Kevin started to get a better feel and saw the results by the end of the round. After the round, we went back to PGA West and played the other nine holes on the Palmer Course that we did not see yesterday. Kevin is starting to trust the things he is working on and Hugh is excited with what he sees. Kevin and Hugh finished the day with short game practice and one more session on the range. I left them working and headed out on the Nicklaus Course to do some course work. The back nine of the Nicklaus is the only nine holes that Kevin has not played so I needed to check lines off the tees, check elevation changes, and do green work. By the time I finished, Kevin was done and heading to the gym for a workout. We have done a lot of work over the past few days and we are now ready to reap the benefits.
We tee off tomorrow at 10:45 at La Quinta.
