I am in the British Open!

27 July, 2010

Yesterday was a good day in that I made the qualifying for the British Open. The course we played was very nice, it is called the Hillside Golf Club. The weather was less than copperating but I managed to end the round at +1 which got me a spot without having to be in a playoff.

Since there is Pro-Am all day at Royal Birkdale here today and there is no play all day if you are not in the Pro-Am then I decided to play a quick 9 holes and just to have seen parts of the course. This morning I walked the front nine to get a glimpse of the rest of the course. Tomorrow is the last practice day before the tournament starts on Thursday, so I will head out for a round of 18 holes.

The course looks awesome. There a bunkers as well as some thick grass in play and the wind will determine how agressive I can get on a few of the holes. It should be lots of fun this week. There are many of my friends on the LET who are playing this week so there is a bunch of catching up to do which is always fun!

Now I am off for some more putting practice.
