Tournament Time

Hey all, sorry to leave you post-less yesterday but was exhausted.  If you've checked out the Leaderboard link you know that Justin shot 142, and as of about 6 pm today looks good to make the cut and is currently in T-36.  There are still some players yet to finish, but we're playing the weekend!  Now for those of you who aren't familiar with professional tournament golf, this is important because first it means we can still win, and second it means that Justin makes a check this week.  Golf is unlike other sports in that even if you qualify to play, there's no guarantee that you make money.  You must finish in the top 60 (including ties) to "make the cut," and thereby make money and have a chance to win.  A great first event so far!

Random thoughts:

• I prefer my Ecco Gortex tennis shoes over my Nike Airs.  More comfortable and truly waterproof, not just water resistant.  I hate wet socks.
• My shins still hurt, but I now realize it's from resisting with my feet and toes on the downhill parts of the course.  Today I just let myself fly down hills and it got better.
• There is a very delicate balance to find as a caddy to know what to say and when to say it.  For the player, a day is filled with ups and downs emotionally, and to gain the feel for what Justin needs from me is one of the most important things that needs to happen.  Time.
• This is hard work.
• But I get to eat for free.  At least this week.

Follow us tomorrow on TV or online and send your positive energy and thoughts.  I'm looking for a good day tomorrow that moves us up the leaderboard.  Talk soon and thanks for reading!
