Shot 76 today and had an absolute blast. I never thought I would say that about a 76 but there is always a first time. Looking at my stats I hit 92% of the fairways which is tied for 5th and had 33 putts which is tied for 144th. That about sums up what happened today with the exception of two nervous swings that cost me 4 shots. Overall, I was extremely pleased with how I hit the ball under the circumstances. I was pretty disappointed with how I putted but that is where the anxiety of playing in this event showed up. As long as I can overcome this, things should go well. This was a great experience and will really help when I get to play in a senior tour event.

My two best shots of the day where on both 9 and 18 where there was the largest crowds and stands. It felt good to be able to hit shots with a lot of people around. Tomorrow should be much better as far as scoring.
