Been quite the ride for a couple of weeks.
We started traveling down south for the US Kids Eastern Regionals Championship in Galloway NJ, which was to be played at the Seaview Resort, just as Hurricane Irene was heading up the East Coast.
As we got almost down to Uncle Steve's in Hartford CT. when US Kids, for the safety of all concerned, canceled the Tournament, not rescheduled, but canceled, which was a big dissapointment for us all..
So we went to Uncle Steves, played some golf at Simsbury CC, then spent the night and headed back North Friday Morning.
Shortly after we arrived back home, they also canceled the Boston Local Tour Championship scheduled for Monday as well.
We also received lots of rain in VT for sure, ruining homes, roads, and golf course's all over the State, but mainly in middle and southern Vermont.
The US Kids Tournament had to be re-scheduled for the following Saturday.
We had intended on going to the Deutsche Bank Professional Tournament Sunday anyway, so with the postponement of Seaview this gave us the opportunity to go down Saturday Morning, play the Boston Tour Championship Saturday afternoon, and then attend the PGA event Sunday.
Which saved us another down and back in the same week.
So we headed down Saturday morning and after traveling 240 miles, then hitting a few balls, we hit the first tee for the tournament round.
For whatever reason I had a very rough day, no matter what I tried I not could not string 2 good shots together, and ended up shooting my worst round in a long while, maybe worst competitive round ever.
It was a difficult day for everyone I guess, since I still managed to finish in 2nd place for the day.
I had however garnered enough points from the regular season to retain the Player of the year honors for 2011, even though it was not a stellar scoring year.
We played the Championship in Millis MA. at the Glen Ellen Country club and once again, the Pro there, Andy Ingrahm, had done a great job all summer long, and the Championship Tournament was no exception, so thank you Andy for a job well done, and all the players and parents really appreciate what you do.
So as the sun sets on another great summer of golf, we look forward to maybe one or two fall tour events, and then Soccer Season will start so we will keep moving.
Until the next event, Thank God, and Family and Friends for all the support.
Later ~ B.
