Round Two - Falcon's Fire

The definition for the term “Déjà Vu” simply means - tedious familiarity. Today was just that. If you read last weeks blog following my very long days at Orange County National due to poor weather, you will soon begin to see a trend in today‘s round.
Today started out like most Florida mornings, sunny and hot! And then the clouds began to form. Not only in the sky, but within my bag as well. I started the day off with a par on the first and then began the second, which started the up hill climb for the remainder of the day. I bogeyed the next three holes in a row…and then the rain came. It started raining on #4, but didn’t stick around long. We played through the showers as I pared the next 2 holes. With a bogey on #7 and a birdie on #8, I made the turn at three over, 39.
After pars on holes ten and eleven, the clouds reappeared. Once my group finished number twelve, the weather sirens blew and we were called into the clubhouse due to a storm brewing around the course. Within an hour and a half the golf course had be drenched! Once the thunder and lightening cleared out, we returned to the very soggy thirteenth.
Obviously the wet grounds were making the golf course play much longer as well as slower. I came back from the rain delay with a bogey on #13 and a birdie on #15. With a par on #16 and bogeys on #17 and #18, I finished the day with a 6 over par, 79.
Today was an extremely disappointing day. I am really beginning to see improvements on some key fundamentals my coach and I are working on, but can’t seem to put anything together. It was very frustrating! Putting is usually my strong suite, and today it was the poorest part of my game.
With that being said, I am thankful to see improvements on the things I’ve been working so hard on. I know it will all come together SOON!

I tee it up for the final round tomorrow at 9:20 off of #1.
I will keep you posted as tomorrow comes to a close :)
