Verizon Heritage - First Round

Verizon Heritage - First Round

posted in Uncategorized |

Today was my first official PGA Tournament at the Verizon Heritage which started at 9:00 AM off #10 tee with Matt Weibring and Brendon de Jonge. I was a little nervous on the first tee however felt comfortable throughout the remainder of the round.

Unfortunately my golf swing didn’t work well and put me in tough situations making it difficult to score. Harbour Town is a very unforgiving course when you’re hitting the ball off line. The round felt like swimming with bricks on my feet as I could never stay a float.

Today’s round was extremely disappointing and tough to swallow because of my personal expectations and friends and family watching the event. I’m going to shrug it off and tomorrow is a new day to apply knowledge from today’s round.

    Cory: My nine year old son and I drove down from our home in NJ to attend the Verizon Heritage tournament on Friday. It was our first golf tournament (as I now see that it was for you). Sometime mid-morning Friday he and I were standing near the practice green when you came up and started to putt. My son was standing by himself along the fence trying to get some autographs on the new hat we had just bought him and I was explaining to him why golfers put special marks on their golf balls. Your caddie was nice enough to give my son one of your golf balls (a Taylor Made) and shortly thereafter, you came by and signed his hat and talked to him for a minute. Since he is only 9 he does not know whether you are the best golfer in the tournament or are playing in your first tournament, nor does he really care, all he knows is that you are nice and gave him a ball. On the drive back to NJ yesterday, he told me that his three favorite golfers were Camillo, Todd Hamilton (who tossed him a signed glove) and you because you were nice, gave him a ball and talked to him.

    Since I was not familiar with you I googled you this morning and found this blog and just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you on playing in your first PGA Tour event and also to thank you for helping make my son’s trip memorable. Even though you didn’t make the cut, you made a positive impact on someone. Thanks again good luck in the future and know that you have gained another fan here in NJ.
