The whole part of a practice round is just that - practice for the golfer and cross-checking the professional yardage books for the caddy. These are created by someone with who takes the time to pour over every yard with locations of sprinkler heads, bunkers, green depths, and green undulations. They certainly make the job easier. It's our job to modify those notes to exactly what we need for the round.
We started off the 10th tee but it's no where near as awesome as the first hole you see below. This is a monster of opening hole. It can be stretched to over 600 yards... pretty much a 3 shot hole. Like looking down the barrel of a gun!
Of course we had to keep tabs on the Bengals during the day. Who-dey was keeping up his end of the bargain though as it turned out Cincy didn't do so well... but here he is representing!
We've settled in for the evening.... catching up on football highlights. Did anyone watch Jonathon Byrd hit the ace to win the playoff? Only in Vegas, baby! I met Jonathon the year he won the JDC. One of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Right now we're going over strategy for tomorrow as we're going to try to make it as "live" as possible. Out early for a typical pre-round warm up session and then be to the first tee by 8:30. After the round, lunch, and some final practice we'll be heading over to Pinehurst #2 to look around. Couldn't think of a better way to cap off the day while in the Pinehurst area. Until tomorrow we hope this blog finds you doing well and hope everyone had a great weekend.
