There's another guy at our club playing the Canadian tour, Bates.
Spenda, thx for the Austin Connelly info....... he had close to low round on both thursday and saturday. not a good round on friday. finished top 10 and 2nd place canadian. very nice start for canadian. watched a couple of videos of him. very articulate media-wise.
fyi, mark mccumber's son tyler - florida gator - finished 2nd. looked like an awesome player amongst obviously very good players.
i marshalled - both finding drives on tough holes and keeping spectators quiet and still on a par 3.
talked to a guy who is top 30 college golfer. following his buddy.....
said some interesting stuff:
that from 160 yards out of thick, wet rough making it onto the green is an excellent result. i'm thinking i play out of worse rough - wet, thick or deep - almost all the time. may have to temper my own expectations.
don't start thinking aggressively going for birdie until 155-160 yards if not closer
makes me really thinking avoiding errors is the game even at very high levels. and absolutely have to hit the fairway.
i saw him and some of the competitors at the sponsor dinner. we were talking low rounds in history and guy they knew who has amazing 2 scoring accomplishments.. this college player neglected to tell me he went 62-62 in a prestigious tourney. 31 on the one of the bracketing nines too.
