Go Team Top-Flite

Well I qualified for the Industry Cup, which was my goal, but I really wanted to be on the A-Squad, the Callaway Team. And I screwed that all up with 1 swing...

All day long we were looking for my playing partners balls in the trees. We were even looking for their balls on par 3's! Then on the back side the marshall came by telling us we were holding up the course. Wasn't me. I could find my ball... Anyways, after looking for 2 balls on 16 for like 5 minutes, I just marched up to where my ball and another's were, and hit my shot up to 5 feet. Looks like another birdie.

I then walked up next to the green and waited another 5 minutes for the other guys to play up. While I was waiting, the guy whose ball was next to mine in the fairway called up to me and said I had hit his ball. SHIT!

So I walked back up the fairway took my drop and proceeded to make a bogey, plus the 2 shot penalty for hitting the wrong ball. That gives me a big fat 7 instead of the potential 3 I could have made... Oh well.

I ended up shooting 79. which put me right on the border between the Odyssey and Top-Flite teams. And since no one really knows me, I got placed on the Top-Flite team. Thats ok, I will just have to go really low in the event so that they will remember next year!

The format looks like fun. We play 27 holes: 9 holes of Scramble, 9 holes of Best Ball, and 9 holes of Chapman. I am paired up with Tim who is also on the R&D team so it should be fun. I hope we play well enough to bring home the cup. That would be really cool. But I am sure those Taylor Made guys are going to be tough!
