A big Thank You! to our literary genius (Lisa Martinez) for filling in and updating the blog. We're at a hotel with a very slow computer so I'll give the updates but we'll have to wait for pictures.
Alisa's second round tee time allowed her to sleep in a bit which may have contributed to her improved score over her first round, but still not as well as the practice round. She shot a 44. We hired a caddie for Alisa, Dick Robbins, who is a member of the Longleaf Golf Club where the 9 year-old girls are playing. Dick is fabulous and knows the course like the back of his hand. The two of them seem to hit it off well and Alisa really likes him.
Alisa was hitting her driver and irons just beautifully. We've found she needs a bit more work on the putting. But overall, for the first time at a World Championship we are just proud parents.
After watching Alisa play her 2nd round of golf, we went to Pinehurst #6 to watch Jack play his 2nd round. Ben Weir, the kids coach, came to Pinehurst with us and caddied for Jack. Jack had to complete the rest of his 8 holes from the 1st round at 7:30 AM on Friday and did fairly well. He finished his first round with a score of 90. Then, if that's not enough at 90 degrees and 80% humidity, he had to play his second round at 2:20 PM that afternoon. In one day he had to play 26 holes but, those energy drinks must have helped because he shot an 82 for his second round.
By the way, all spectators have to walk the courses. Golf carts are only allowed by spectators 65 years of age and older. Needless to say, we are all pretty tired by the end of the day. We had dinner at 7 PM and got the kids in bed by 10 PM in order to wake up for their 3rd and final round of golf on Saturday morning.
Of course, the kids (big kids too) still had time to relax a bit and do a little fishing at the local fishing hole, aka hole #15 at Longleaf.
