I'm feeling a little jittery but also excited! I leave in the am to head to Peoria and Women's Nationals. This is the first year I'm leaving on Thursday, not Wednesday. Maybe that's part of it. I'm packed and the cooler is already stocked in the car :) Peoria here I come!

I came in 13th out of 14 players in the Intermediate Division :). I improved my overall score by a few strokes from the 2 previous years. I had 2 high points this year: #1: During the morning round on Saturday at Washington Park, I came very close to throwing my first Ace (hole-in-one) on hole 2. It landed close enough to the basket to win a prize for my whole division-CTP (closest to the pin). Our group of 3 competitors was the first group of the 14 in our division to throw on this hole....I didn't find out for 6 or so more holes if I anyone had beaten it! #2: I was the official to accompany the Pro division during their final 9 holes of play :) That made my heart pound as much as the near-ace! It was an experience I'll never forget!
