STOP RAINING!!!

5/5.....what does that statistic represent?  The first five events on the NGA Tour have dealt us rain delays each week.  Sitting around each day with massive weather delays is one thing that is seriously annoying about my profession.  That has happened each of the first five weeks out here.  Today was no exception.  I got to the course to find out we had a 3 hour delay due to inclement weather.  When we finally started play, my game fell flat on my opening nine holes.  I shot 40.  Luckily, I turned it around in 34 strokes on my back nine to salvage something on the day, but at days end my 18 hole score will not suffice.  I hit two shots from the fairway on my front nine that were right at the pin on down wind holes, but I misjudged the wind and my ball flew over the green both times resulting in bogey.  Those two bogeys stung because I made good golf swings.  I had a par 5 three putt par on number 8 and a terrible iron swing on number 9 from the middle of the fairway that resulted in a punishing bogey as well.  As you can see, the front nine really got me today through a couple poor swings and a couple swings that I just misjudged the wind. 
    I was happy that I rebounded on my back nine.  As I teed off number ten, I set a mini goal to play the back nine in two under par and I obtained my goal.  This gives me some momentum heading into tomorrow, however with further afternoon delays today, the earliest I will tee off tomorrow will be 4:48pm.  This will once again challenge my patience.  At the beginning of the year, I always set some goals.  Usually I keep these to myself, but one of the 10 goals I set this year was that I have to be a heck of a lot more patient.  I signed up for this tournament a long time ago, and set aside the entire week on my schedule to be here in Windsor, North Carolina.  So with that being said, what's the hurry?  The answer is there is none.  Whether I tee off at 6am or 6pm, I need to just go out there in stride and take my time and enjoy the ride.  Zero rushing or complaining about the weather.  It is frustrating at time sitting around more than half the day waiting to play and it gets me anxious, but I'm ready to start rolling with the punches of what mother nature often times brings in terms of Spring weather.  There is 100% chance I won't finish round two tomorrow, but I'm ready to enjoy all the shots I get to hit tomorrow until sunset with not a rush in the world.  Thanks for reading and here's to a little more patience.
