Golf Update

The US Publinx Qualifer was Monday, and I have to say it was a pretty boring 36 holes. Not much of note occurred during the day. I had:
- one double bogey
- one OB (not the double hole, mind you...)
- one left-handed shot
- one WD in my group
- 3 3-putts (including the first hole... nice way to start off a round)
and, unfortunately:
- 1 birdie.
My drive and I were NOT getting along at all that day. I was constantly struggling to keep the ball in play.

Shot 80 the first 18 in a 10-par, 8-bogey round. The 2nd 18 was better, as I had 2 3 jacks and a double, and still shot 78. 7 greens on the final nine. My nines were 40-40 40-38. I felt like Jose Canseco there for a moment.

The F&J crowd didn't do so well: Craig did the best with 77-75 in Evansville; Jeff Maier had a 79-86; Don struggled to an 85-82; and Kermit shot an 84 in his first round but WD.
