Hiiii

Hi, everyone!! I can't believe our fall season is almost over!!! This is starting to make me feel old... before I know it, I'lll be a SENIOR... ahhh! =0! Anyways, this weekend is our last fall tourney at Gannon. I have high hopes of breaking my career-low (or around it at least). These past few weekends have been on some rough courses. Like Caci said, this past weekend was soooo weird. I shot a 59 on the back and a 47 on the front... YIKES!! But needless to say, we've been having oodles of fun! haha. Between Caci's hair looking so good 24/7, Coach saying "oh ma gawd", Sam's hedgehog and getting "warnings" by Coach Taryn... we've been having a blast. We're really growing as a team and everyone is learning each week on things that need improvement. For having such a young team that we do, we've started to learn and grow very quickly which I think is going to prepare us big time for the spring. In the meantime, we are practicing for this weekend. We'll be going to Erie, PA and I think we're having dinner at Em's!! That should be pretty cool. Speaking of Em, happy almost birthday (her birthday is tomorrow)!! :) Today we're off to the driving range since it's winter conditions outside (which I LOVE by the way... SIKE). Hoooopefully it will be nice for us this weekend! I don't want to play in the snow just YET haha. My teachers also love making everything due at once soooo I guess I'll probably move into the library within the next day or two... that should be fun. Well, I'm off to hit the books. Come out and watch us this weekend - we'll be coming in HOT!! :)
Peace out girl scouts!

Rebecca its fall season is almost over not spring... lol .. Anyways this weekend was tons of fun! Even though i didnt play as well as i had hoped. The course was crazy. the one side was like super easy and the other side was constructed by another person so it was full of hills and dog legs and just lots of crap that didnt need to be there. sat we ate at the golfcourse and the food was sooooo good. then we went to the AMAZING hotel and brought our bathing suits with hopes of going in the hot tub but they didnt have one :(. So nicole emily and i decided to take a nap. After that we ate some pizza, watched some u tube and went to sleep. Emily and i figured that once again nicole would set her alarm but her alarm snooze button is broken or something so instead of waking up at 7 we got up at 740 with the van leaving at 8.... :0 . for the second overnight trip in a row. So for the past 2 days the weather has completely sucked so practice is at the range today!! To bad teachers are giving us a lot of work and exams... my days are full to the max... lol ... ttyl

Great Weekend <3

So we have had two fun weekends away at golf tournaments!!!! This weekend we were at Heidelberg and last weekend we were at JCU and Muskingum. I really am proud of the team and the 1st and 2nd place wins that we just pulled off and I know that we will continue to do well.  If there has been one thing that I have learned from playing golf in college is that you cannot let one bad hole ruin a round.  Coach tells me this AT LEAST once a day! Being on the road with the team has been soooo much fun! You never know what could happen with the seven of us traveling in big red and staying in the LUXURIOUS Hampton hotel for a night.  In big red there is Caci and Emily sleeping in the back, Nicole and I rocking out to “Party in the U.S.A” and “She Wolf” in the middle, Brooke and Sarah repin’ in the first row, and coach and Sam guiding us in the front. “Oh Mah Gawd” (lol) traveling with the team is amazing and I am so sad that we only have one more weekend until the spring season is over :(

Par 3 of Death and More!

Hey, everyone!! So, our fall golf season actually has only 2 more weeks left... I can't believe it! At our 1st tournament this fall (the B-W invite), there was a par 3 which we had to play. We nicknamed this hole the "par 3 of death" because there are woods to the right, a creek in front of the green, a huge tree to the left and a massive tree to the right. Basically, you have to hit the ultimate perfect shot to make it through the small space of trees and hit it long enough to stay on or behind the green. This hole didn't treat me as bad during the tournament as it did in previous practice rounds where I would lose close to 4 balls total... on just that hole. On Saturday of the tournament, my ball was RIGHT on the edge of the hazard so I had some serious luck!! And then the next day I hooked it waaaay left so that was ugly. It will always be a horrible hole. This past weekend we played at John Carroll on Saturday and Sunday and then played at Muskingum on Monday! The JCU course is pretty tough to play but I'm sure we'll get some more practice in there before our OACs are held there in the spring! On Monday, we WON our 1st tourney in quite a few years!! That was awesome!! :) We are continuing practice this week and play up at Heidelburg this weekend. Sleepovers are the best so we're all really excited (just as long as it's not a murder motel haha!)!! GO B-W GOLF!! WOOO! :)

PS- Note to Caci: 10+ Tums is straight poison... just thought you should know!

Let me just explain this pic... i was trying to 
talk to nicole but she just thought she would be
 a smart butt and take a picture of me... 
Thats all i got to say














Team Pic : sam,brooke,nicole,cacisarahrebecca,raeanne and emily...

why i never listen to coaches...

so the par 3 of death... i was actually playing really well for half the day on saturday until i came to the par 3 of death... and let me tell you that hole ate 2 of my balls.. one in the trees to the right and one in the water so i think i ended up tripling that hole and the rest of my golf game went down hill fast... anyways thats not the exciting part.. on sunday i hit the ball ( an amazing shot i must say) well it went right into the water in front of the green.. technically it wasnt a hazard so i could hit out of it. the mount union coach advised me that it prolly wasnt the best idea to hit out of it cuz my ball was on a totally verticle lie. but i said " WATCH ME". so i got down into the muddy crap and hit the ball onto the green bringing up the biggest chunk of mud ever seen in my life.... but hey it was worth seeing that coaches face when i proved to him i could do it. anyways i pard the hole in the end!!

HEY HEY

HEY EVERYONE!

soooo we have had a couple practices so far and they have already been eventful.....on friday we were playing with hearing and seeing lightning and thunder every 2 seconds. I saw the lightning first and everyone though I was just going crazy lol! Coach insisted that we were okay because the siren never went off. however we found out on probably the fourth hole that there was a tornado watch a couple miles away, we finally made the decision to get out of there so we packed 6 people onto 1 golf cart and i freaked out the entire way back to the car hahahaha but everything turned out okay. We have also had our team pictures in our sharp new golf shirts and matching shoes. So far i have had soososos much fun with all of the girls and i love everyone! I have a feeling that the rest of the season is going to be really fun and wild!!

Emmmmmmmmmmm
