Soggy, Windy US Open Golf Local Qualifier, Brookesville, Florida

It was hard yesterday. Really wet and windy all the time. Thunderstorms threatening. The course was playing long.

With a strong field and a “blizzard” of rain going sideways, it was not looking good. I had no idea how many would make it and figured if I made par I might be lucky to be in a playoff.

Fortunately, I made some birdies in the last few holes to cinch one of the three spots. I was surprised that there weren’t more positions open. Grateful I made it.

Funny about these qualifiers. The food “sucks”. Hardly anything available at the golf club. Part of the territory, I guess.
