almost continue course fun great love matter nice seen takes week
Well, I'd love to continue to see (the course) dry. I think a super-long course would almost be a little too much, but I don't know. It's very remote, as I said (after the first round). I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun playing. I've seen some great things happen. That's always nice no matter what you're doing. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me this week.
continuing held helping nice pace played solid together touch
I held it together for the most part. I played pretty solid in most respects. I'm continuing to have nice pace and touch on my putts, and that's really helping me.

I made a really pretty birdie at 10, hit a nice five iron in there to about 10 feet. I made a bomb at 16 that was about 50 feet. Then I got up and down at 17 from the front right bunker and 18, I got it up and down from short of the left bunker.

There is nothing like it. You cannot imagine what it's like. It's a personal achievement and you feel like you've gotten through something very difficult.

I don't know where this week is going to lead, but I've had so much fun. I'm just going to kind of see where it takes me.

I am disappointed. I didn't execute shots. I'm going to try to retrieve this round and have a good back nine.
wish
I wish to say it was different, but it's doubtful.
shot target
But the shot has to be perfect. The target is very small.
change facets fall forever formal golfer history love summer texas tournament
So in the summer of 1968, a young golfer from Texas experienced something that would forever change his life. Not only did I fall in love with formal tournament competition, but I was enraptured with so many other facets of the game; the different courses, the people,the history and traditions.
