With the two practice rounds complete and some good golf played, we are ready to get things underway. Yesterday, Troy played the South Course, today, the North Course. During each round he played with three fellow competitors and each day the experience was great. Troy hit the ball very well and gained some valuable insight. Each course plays quite long, just over 7,000 yards. Par for each course is 70 and both are a true test of golf. Conditions are impeccable and the layouts are well thought out. On Saturday, there was an hour delay as a pretty severe thunderstorm blew thru. The rain softened the courses for today's play. The tempature has been very warm topping out in the nineties each day.
Today, we were joined by Troy's uncle, Cory Decoteau. Cory lives in Indianapolis and traveled three hours to join us early this morning for the practice round walk. He and his wife just had a new baby boy, Keegan on August 11th. We so appreciate that he could come at this busy time for he and Ashley. After a nice lunch at the clubhouse and a short rest back at the hotel to watch some of the PGA Championship, Troy has headed back to the course for some more practice time. Tomorrow will be very exciting and we really appreciate all of the nice comments and feedback we have received from so many back home.
