Tough Course....EHHH?

Hi All,
    As most of know, Bruce and I left Arizona two weeks ago to chase the summer golf tournaments. We traveled up the west coast, visiting friends and family along the way, and headed towards Canada for the Women's Canadian Tour.

        We arrived in Parksville, BC to meet a wonderful host family, and were welcomed into a beautiful home just minutes from the golf course. That afternoon, we played a practice round with our host, whose name was also Bruce. We had a lot of fun and started to learn the challenging layout that Morningstar had to offer. The course proved to be very difficult with tight landing areas, and tricky multi-tiered greens. That Tuesday, I teed off for my first round of the tournament feeling a bit uneasy about the course, which caused me to be a little indecisive in my shot selection. My inability to commit to shots that day caused some trouble and I ended the day shooting a round of 80 and tied for 53rd place. Not anywhere close to the start we were hoping for....
          Although I had a rough first day, I worked out the kinks and was ready to go  play with confidence the following day. We arrived on the final day to see pins tucked in unimaginable locations and soon realized, it was going to be an even more challenging day. Despite the course set up, Bruce and I took it one shot at a time, and finished with one of the low rounds of the day, 74. I finished my first Canadian Women's event tied for 25th out of 80 women. Although those may not be the results Bruce and I were hoping for, but I am proud of the way I performed the second day and know what I need to work on the next week.

         After 4 great days of being spoiled by our hosts, Bruce and Kelly, and managing to get incredible weather, we headed south to Victoria to do some sight seeing!! Here are some pictures of the beautiful city:

    Next week we are headed to Seattle to compete in the Women's US Open Qualifier, wish us luck!! 

On a final note, my rally is half way done and we have reached over 30% of our goal!! I am blown away by the love and support be have received by our friends and family, we thank you all so much. You given us the opportunity to pursue our dream, and it is our sincere hope that we get the opportunity to do the same for someone else someday! <3
