Long day of travel for both Brian and myself. Brian had the longest of the travel plans leaving Richmond by car at 9:56 AM while all I had to do was make my connecting flight at O'Hare with my final destination of Charlotte. The last couple hours on the road from there into Pinehurst consisted of winding roads amongst tall pines glowing in the brightness of a full moon.
Tomorrow's weather is to be mid-70's and sunny. Some strong focused practice is on tap for tomorrow starting around 10AM. We can't play the course until around noon. I've gone over the official yardage book enough by now. As much as Brian is ready to get to the course... so am I.
The next couple days are all about emersing ourselves in the course. On our drive from the airport we talked about improvements in Brian's overall game as well as the most important aspect of his game... the mental game. He admitted last year there was some stargazing on his part that took him out of his game and he lost focus. Playing in more tournaments and Monday qualifiers this year has allowed him to get that out of his system to wear he's just concentrating on his own game. The past 3 months have been all about improving. We're both excited to get out to the course and finally start getting out of theory and into execution.
just remember don't over think... go with your first instinct and don't second guess! I know you both will do great :)
