My group was the first tee time today.  However, with the weather delays we got in only 11 holes today as we started at 2:30 pm locally.  I birdied my first hole today and was ready to take charge on a brutal day of wind, rain, and cold.  On the second hole, disaster struck.  It was a par 3 220yds to the hole howling into the wind.  I took out 3 wood which would only get me to the front of the green at best and pushed one ever so slightly.  The wind moved it further right and it went out of bounds.  I took a triple bogey at the second and put myself squarely behind the 8 ball after double bogeying the very next hole.  I made a great run at the end of the 11 holes we played birdieing my 8th, 9th, and 10th hole to get it back to 1 over for the day.  However, I once again lost that momentum with a bogey on my 11th hole as darkness fell and play was suspended.  So I sit at 2 over on the round with 7 holes to play, with a need to close out my round tomorrow morning with a fleury of birdies.  It is unfortunate that we will be playing tomorrow under sunny skies given that we had to endure the most of the inclement weather given our group was first off.  That is how golf goes somedays, so hopefully I can make up for it tomorrow by finishing my round off well.  I did a great job maintaining my composure after my start, but sometimes you just need some luck to go your way.  I am a long way back of where I need to be score wise and am going to have to light it up the last 2 and a 1/2 rounds to have any kind of chance.  I'll keep my head up and fight on even with the remote odds and will keep you posted.
