Grind it Out

The first day of this state championship has been a real test of golf. We started the day by waking up at about 7 to pouring rain, which did not go over well with many of the guys. After getting out of bed and all showered up, the rain cleared up in time for Matt Bonner to have about 15 minutes to warm up (which is not a lot by golf standards). The rain held off for us until about 11:30, which threw some of us off for a couple swings. But the key to playing good golf is to figure out how to get back on track when nature or the course throws you off. Our guys did a pretty solid job of not getting too sidetracked by the rain. All of us were able to make our bad shots not too bad. As a result, we are tied for second place with rival Cape Fear Christian at 336 (top four scores count). Below are the totals:

Matt Bonner: 49-45=94

Evan Norfleet: 47-43= 90

Weldon Walker: 41-41=82

Ross Seaman: 43-45= 88

Matt Dengler: 42-46= 88

Todd Eckstein: 38-40=78

Tomorrow Matt Bonner will be off first for our team at 10:40 with Evan, Ross, Matt Dengler, Weldon, and Todd following. We got some solid practice in after the round and after we eat some good food, finish some homework and get a full night of rest, we'll be ready for a better day 2.
