Some days they go in and some days they don't
If you keep the 100 degree weather and add about 90% humidity, that's what it was like walking out of the McAllen airport on Monday afternoon. So I decided to stay indoors for the rest of the afternoon and just relax. The next day I slept in and watched ER television which is one of my morning routines. Checked out the area a little bit and then headed for the golf course.
That's Texas golf for you!
Once I discovered that the Palm View Municipal golf course was one that you could take advantage of to score low, I was excited to start playing on Friday. I was 3 over through 6 holes and then the wind picked up and I actually started to play better. To give you a sense of playing in the wind, I shot a 7-iron with 110 yards in and still was 10 yards short. That's Texas golf for you! I finished the day with a 75 which I was very satisfied with because it seemed like most of the girls in the afternoon were struggling with the wind. I was very fortunate to have had one of the morning tee times to start the tournament with.
Stand back and take a deep breath
The next day I came in with another 75. I didn't make one single birdie on Saturday which was very frustrating because it seemed like the ball was lipping out of the hole or burning the edge every single time. I will have to admit that my round on Saturday was one of the most annoying rounds I think I have ever played as a professional. But you just have to stand back, take a deep breath and accept the fact the some days they go in and some days they don't.
I am hungry for birdies
I made the cut and finally a couple of birdies as well on Sunday to finish tied for 54th. Not my best finish but I am still learning and improving with every tournament. I am getting more consistent and I am hungry for birdies. So I am headed to El Paso for one more tournament in Texas. The only thing that I am going to do is to stay patient and wait for those birdie putts to fall.
Cheers,
Megan

Hit it in the short grass! Thinking about you, and pulling for you. Hope its not too hot down there. By the way, the website is outstanding.
Meg,
I am proud of you. You progressed by leaps and bounds since last year's Q-schools for the Ladies European, the LPGA and the Futures Tour. Your last rounds in Louisiana and Texas clearly show a mental improvement. Your round spread is now -1 to +3 (4-stroke spread) compared to E to +7 a year ago (7-stroke spread)!
You have the patience to let birdies happen, you play golf and Not golf score, and you've become fearless - you pre-accept the potential bogey to get to a birdie. This is great stuff!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! hope everything is going well we miss you and rachaels got 3 or 4 weeks left. she's ready to pop. Love ya. Justin & Rachael
