Rainy Kansas

Since I got to Kansas, it rained every single day except on Friday. I only got to play one practice round and only played 15 holes. The second round was cancelled due to rain and the course was unplayable. I got to play on Friday and shot 76 in very wet conditions and was only 2 shots from the cut line. I shot 40-36 so struggled to start but finished strong. There was no roll as the course was too wet. In fact, there were a few times where my drive actually went backwards once it hit the ground. You can imagine how fun this was! On Saturday, I had the first tee time at 7:15. I played in rain for 4 hours straight, not to mention it was 50 degrees. I went through 3 pairs of socks and 4 gloves. After 5 holes, everything that I owned was soaking wet and I could barely hold onto the club. The course was unplayable to begin with. There was casual water everywhere. After playing 16 holes they finally blew the horn and called it a day. They made us return the following morning at 7am to find outat 8am that we didn't get to finish our round and Sunday was also washed out. It ended up being a one day tournament in which I didn't make money since I was 2 shots from making the money. It was a very frustrating week and I think my clothes and bag are still wet.....

On a positive note, I had a wonderful housing family!! They showed us around Kansas City yesterday and made the rainy trip more enjoyable. I am now headed back to sunny Florida and play in the U.S. Open qualifier on Wednesday in Ormond Beach. Let's hope for no rain!!! :)
