Kentucky

Over July 4th weekend, I played a tournament in London, Kentucky. I was feeling really great about my game after a strong tournament in Hammond, Indiana. My Grandparents drove up from Georgia to watch me play on Friday where I managed to have my low round of the season, 5 under 67!! I started with a birdie and finished with a birdie. I was so thrilled and it felt great to finally feel how it is be at the top of the leaderboard. I finished the day in 3rd, 2 shots back. Saturday I struggled a bit with the putter, hardly making any birdies but managed to shot a 73. After traveling 4 weeks in a row and playing 3 practice rounds each week, I was physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore on Sunday, I woke up not feeling like myself. I knew it was going to be a struggle. I bladed it twice from 50 yards over the green on 2 par 5's and wormburned a 3 wood on another par 5. I even picked up my ball on a green without marking it, which resulted in a stroke penalty to myself and a reminder to buy extra ball marks ;) But no worries, that only cost me $14. I ended up shooting 79 (stayed in the 70s at least!) and it was a hard lesson learned. I finished 3 over for the tournament at 57th place. Another cut, another check, and another step towards the LPGA. I now know that I can't spend all of my energy on practice rounds, tournament rounds are much more important! Now for a nice relaxing week off at home to see my boyfriend, family, and friends :)
