A couple of weeks ago, I was talking about my attempts to make the Base Golf Team.  Well, I was successful.  I shot a combined total of 161 over two days, which was good enough to finish first overall.  I am extremely grateful to have made the team and hopefully I will play even better during the Regional Championship in July.

We have five men and two women on the team and it is an honor to represent your military base at any competition.  The golf competition is extremely tough because of the number of participants.  Usually, each base has 15-30 players tryout – the total number of players in my region will be upwards of 200 overall.  This is whittled down to about 40 players for the regional competition.  It is very difficult to win the team competition and even more difficult to win the individual event.  I have finished second or third about seven times over the past 20 years and won the regional competition once.  Overall, it is going to be every exciting to play in the three-day competition.

As the competition unfolds, I will keep you posted.  I am a grateful golfer!  See you on the links!
