I owe you all an update on today.  I completed just 11 holes today due to a long weather delay.  It was a disasterous day really on all fronts from the get go.  I was 4 over on the holes I played.  Three putts all over the place, errant driving, and lack of distance control made for an adventurous day.  The key to this course I quickly found out was the necessity of keeping my ball in the fairway.  The greens are about as firm as a wooden table, so it is essential to be coming into the surfaces from the short grass so that you can impart some backspin on the ball to control it.  I birdied my last hole of the day tonight in the dark to feel good going into tomorrow.  To make an analogy, if I was an arsonist I found a gallon of gas on my last hole with that birdie to spark a fire tomorrow.  I have to finish up my last 7 holes tomorrow morning at 8am, and then will tee off almost immediately and begin my second round.  Tomorrow I fully intend to play the great golf that I have been playing here of late, and put to bed today's poor play with a great night's rest.  Thanks for reading and much better things are in store tomorrow.
