hello from the sunshine state

I love warm weather. I am currently in Ocala, Florida for the United States Women's Mid-Amateur Championship. I completed my first practice round this afternoon. The course is very nice. I was just trying to get a feel for everything today. Ocala is in a severe drought so the golf course is very dry. It is not very green but playing very nicely. I enjoyed the golf course. A couple of holes have a challenging tee shot and the greens have a lot of grain to them. I really need to pay attention if I am going with or against the grain. I played with three very nice ladies today for the practice round. Tomorrow I play in the morning so that will allow me some time to practice and relax in the afternoon. I want to start to feel confident with my golf game. I finally received my tee times today. I tee of at 8:10am on Saturday and 12:40pm on Sunday. The nerves are finally coming. I need to have fun and not put pressure on myself. The Florida sunshine is wonderful, and it is a lot warmer than back at home.
