Needless to say, today started off a bit slow. As I pulled into the parking lot, I was informed by another player that we were currently in a 2 hour delay. Apparently, there was a lot of fog this morning which provided unplayable conditions for the morning groups. Since we were 45 minutes from home and in the middle of nowhere, Erika and I were forced to just wait it out in the clubhouse. It only takes so long to eat a sandwich, so the rest of the time was spent doing absolutely nothing. I have a certain routine that I like to go through before I tee off, so I didn't want to change anything by warming up too early. As we approached the 2 hour mark, the official notified us that another 30 minutes had been added to the delay.
At 2:40, my ball was in the air off #10. When it landed, it was in the trees. I began my round with a bogey and the rest of the day wasn't much better. We managed to get in 11 holes, and I'm currently +3 over par. Nothing seemed to go my way, and I struggled finding any sort of rhythm in every facet of my game. Aside from a 3-putt bogey, I'd have to say that I'm not all that upset with where I am right now. It could be worse. The course is playing tough as is reflected in the scores that have been posted so far. If I can make a couple birdies coming in, I feel confident that I can finish the second round with a better score.
We're supposed to be ready to play at 7:30 tomorrow morning so we can finish our remaining 7 holes and begin our second round. It's going to be a long day and hopefully I can get things turned around.
