Friday July 21, 2023 - Colorado Open

 Just when you thought things couldn't get much better on this trip, we went to the restaurant at the golf course on Wednesday afternoon and our new friend Barry was there as usual.   He was chatting with one of the pro golfers (named Jackson Foth) who's in the tournament and he introduced us.   Jackson is from Kansas and is super nice, but he was a little bummed that he just got into town and didn't have enough time to play a practice round.

Barry asked him, "What about your caddie, is he at least familiar with the course?"

Jackson replied, "Unfortunately, I don't have a caddie."

Barry then said, "You should get Trevor here to be your caddie - he's played the course every day for the last six weeks - he knows it inside and out..."

Jackson asked, "Trevor, what do you shoot when you play this course?"

Trevor replied, "I shot a 79, then an 80 on Tuesday."

Jackson said, "Well let's do this!"

 The boy and I had an absolute blast with Cliff and his buddy Normy.   Normy looks very much like Jim Furyk.   I LOVED this course - lots of elevation changes in a gorgeous setting.   The kid shot an 81 and notched his 10th birdie of the year when he drove the green on the short par four 9th hole and two putted from the first cut.   His reward was a ride in Uncle Cliff's Ferrari back to his place where we hung out for a couple of hours before our flight home.

 The kid won his 3rd school tournament at Shalimar by 6 strokes.   He was +5 on nine holes and was pretty consistent.

Sunday March 19, 2023 - X3 Tournament

 Well the boy played a decent round but had one big miss - the fifth hole.   It made no sense.   Total duff on the 130 yard par 3.   Hozel shot that went 80 yards left.   He hasn't done that in a long time.   Second shot went of the back of the green.   Third shot was a lob wedge that he chunked.   Two putts from there for a nast double.   He was +1 on the other eight holes though, good enough for second place.
