This was an interesting event. I happened to be the only woman
signed up for advanced (Elaine King and I were the only women
in the event.) So when I showed up, due to a bounty for the best
scoring advanced woman, I got my money back. I got to play for
free. I did play in the rec men division. That was cool, good
guys.
The first two rounds were played in Danville, VA. Great course,
just redesigned and cleaned up. The first round I got to play
with Elaine, which was a learning experience. She told me to slow
down and analyze all my shot options and not to just get up there
and throw. Advice from a world champ, pretty cool. I played alright
in Danville.
We camped at Lake Reidsville (Robert McAlpine, Chris Brown and
I were in a small pop-up camper. Fun around the campfire!
The next day we played the short and long version of Lake Reidsville
course. Great course too! I did better on this one. I actually
cashed in men's rec, I got an Innova visor. :-) I had a blast
and met some great players along the way. I hope more women sign
up for it if they do it again. Great tournament.
