Relief. I just went out and checked in for the tournament and the cutoff for A-players is 14.0 index. My 14.1 put me in as a B-player. The B range only goes to 17.5, so there’s a tight group of players of similar skill level this year. Tonight we have the opening banquet, and get to meet up with old friends we haven’t seen in a while. I forgot to bring the digital camera. Damn.
One nice thing that has never happened in these things is I get to team up with my father one round. He is a C player this year. The rotation takes us to Olde Oaks, Hal Sutton’s course south of town, tomorrow. On Wednesday we play together at Barksdale AFB’s Fox Run. The foxes have been relocated to a more wooded area of the base away from people, but the name remains. That’s Dad’s home course and host site for the tourney. Then we play Crooked Hollow in Shreveport on Thursday.
