Day One of Nationals

Hey everyone!!!!

We are officially done with the first day of our national golf championship! It's really cool because it's the most official tournament I've ever played in. Makes sense, seeing that it's nationals. You get your name announced whenever you tee off, and you have to report your scores every 3 holes in order to keep the live leaderboard up to date.

It was a great day here in Florida, and I'm so glad we had early morning tee times because it just gets sooo hot down here and we're used to normal old Cleveland weather. I'm trying not to get burnt and failing. Thankfully I'm not burnt too bad so that's okay.

My crazy story from day one: There are old people everywhere here. They're mostly volunteers helping out with the tournament. I hit my second shot on one hole over the green and underneath these old people's carts. So I'm walking up, and the old lady got out to move, but the old guy was still sitting in the cart. Want to know why? I'm gonna tell you anyway. He was putting his shirt on. I got to see a beautiful (puke) old man shirtless today. I did not order that with my nationals, thank you.

I didn't play my best today, but there are 3 more days to go out there, have fun, and try to beat this course because we all have nothing left to lose!

Did That Really Just Happen?

After being down 17 strokes after day 1 most people want to throw in the towel and give up, but there is something special about our team. We fought through every doubt, every raindrop and every robbed putt to win the 2010-2011 OAC Championship!

To be honest, I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to make up the 17-stroke deficit on Sunday, but I knew we weren’t going to let Otterbein go down without a fight or let ONU beat us by 6 strokes. Through out this season we have been taught to fight and to know that we are always in the running for 1^st place. Golf is a game of numbers and numbers don’t lie. Coach Strickland told me one day our team was going to be on the wall for winning an OAC championship, but I cannot believe that we actually did it! He put this team together and told me from the first tournament that we were going to Nationals, and I guess he doesn’t lie!! We couldn’t have done it without you Coach!

I also have to thank Coach Campbell for everything she has done for us this season! Starting as our coach midseason is rough, but she never let us down! Always making sure Big Red was comin’ in HOT and that we were treated well. OAC Coach of the Year??? I think YES!

This team is everything I have ever hoped for and I cannot wait to OWN IT during Nationals!!

Great Start to the Spring Season

Hello out there! So it's been a long time since anyone has blogged. Sorry about that. Spring break was awesome! There wasn't a terrential downpour (thank goodness) and the weather was fairly nice for us. We stayed in a house for the time we were there, which was great bonding time for the entire team. I feel as though we're all closer now that we've spent all that fun time together. I wish we could say we're undefeated, because we won our first tournament of the spring! However, we came in third at Capital this weekend. But that still leaves our record at 18-2, which is freaking awesome. We have a really good shot at winning OACs and going to nationals this year. I'm super excited because we've been having an excellent season with a lot of great golfers. Oh. P.S. We made an absolutely great Facebook video to the song Blow. P.P.S. Down kitty! (Ask Nicole)

Long time no blog!

Hi, everyone! Sorry that it's been so long since I've blogged! I actually think the last time I did was last year, but we'll pretend like that didn't happen. We've been staying busy as bees... or yellowjackets. We had a very, very successful fall season! Check out our record on the www.bw.edu webpage. We also welcomed in our new Head Coach, Alyson Campbell! She is awesome. :) We've been staying extra busy in our off-season too. Coach Campbell is a certified personal trainer, so we started out having 6:30 AM workouts and now we have 3:45 PM workouts twice a week. Morning workouts were awesome since we're all early birds (on opposite day). Needless to say, we're all staying in great shape and Coach has us working our tails/christmas cookies off! It'll all pay off when we claim our OAC title *fingers crossed*. :) We are now 11 days out from being Pinehurst, North Carolina bound! We will be leaving for our Spring Break trip on Saturday, March 5th and returning on Tuesday, March 8th. We will be playing a fellow Ohio team, Mount Union, while we're down south. It should be fun to see some familiar faces in a not-so-familiar state. :) We're really looking forward to the trip and the awesome house that we're staying in! Other than that, a few of us have been going to an indoor training facility with the men's team - it's a lot of fun and it's nice to be able to swing a club again! Weather wise, it's still snowing cats and dogs up here. We had a week of nice weather and surprisingly all of the snow melted and we were even driving with our windows down! But... it was too good to be true. 1 foot of snow, 18 degrees, and a huge ice storm later, it's Tuesday, February 22nd and Ohio weather is still terrible. That's all I've got for now! I promise to blog again before I graduate. Wait, I'm a senior?
