Round One ... In the Books
9/20/2013 | Women's Golf, Blog
So today was the first round of the Mercedes-BenzChampionship. There was some awesome golf out there. Lots of birdies beingmade, some awesome putts but just like a roller coaster ride there are ups anddowns and the team experienced a little bit of that today BUT something that I thoughtwas neat was the re-grouping after the round. Everyone knew what they needed tofocus on, they practiced it, we got in the Sprinter Van and headed back to thehotel.
(Sidenote: You reallycan't miss us here in Knoxville. The vanis big and blue and says "Ole Miss" in red letters. If I had a dollar for everystare I saw from other drivers, we would be in GOOD shape. #WeAreOleMiss)
I'm learning a lot about this group in our travels to andfrom the golf course. Abby Newton is the DJ and almost like clockwork therewill be something light to open with, think The Fray or Goo Goo Dolls, butinevitably, country will be on deck. Although there was a little Nelly, TailFeather today that even got the front of the van moving!
This group likes country -- no doubt about that.
This group also likes to sing country. There may or may nothave been some serenading on the way back from dinner ... Alison Hovatter#JustSayin This group is so into countrythat even Maria, all the way from Norway knows the lyrics... she's only been hereabout a month and she's got Hunter Hayes DOWN!
In my time at Ole Miss, the word family comes up a lot, infact it's one of the main reasons I like it in Oxford so much, everyone reallyis like family. I don't have sisters but I definitely feel like I've gainedsome this weekend.
See you on the coursetomorrow, bring your rain gear!
