US Amateur Sectional Qualifier

Day one of the US Amateur tournament today. The only negative is that it rained for 12 hrs yesterday. The good news is we only received 2.6 inches of rain. Although there is no standing water, the ground is completely saturated. When I asked the tournament director what he wanted to do he just said "I'm going to tell them to play hard!" 

The course is really in excellent condition. The staff has been dialing in turf conditioning for weeks to prepare for today and tomorrow. Our Assistant Superintendent, Trevor Floyd, has done an excellent job of coordinating all the efforts to get us ready.  Even a little wet, the course is better than most.
