Ole Miss women's golf sports information director, Jessica Poolewill be blogging for the women's golf team throughout the 2014 SECChampionships held at Greystone Golf Course in Birmingham, Ala.
Hey everyone, you might remember my bloggingfrom the team's trip to Knoxville, Tenn., for the Mercedes Benz Classic in thefall, but if not I'm Jessica Poole, Ole Miss women's golf sports informationdirector. Essentially, I'm the keeper of all information regarding Ole Misswomen's golf!
Anyhow, I'm back and blogging from Alabamafor this week's SEC Championship. It's been awhile since I've traveled withthis group and I'm so happy to be back in the Ole Miss sprinter! Love me someBig Blue
I'm not the only support staffer on thistrip. Our sports psychologist, Josie Nicholson, is also on this trip. She'sbeen doing some awesome work with our team this season and has been a greataddition to our team. She can work with the team before and after the roundsand can make suggestions to the coaches throughout. I know that her thoughtsand suggestions will be a great help for this team throughout the weekend.
The best thing for me about traveling withthis team is the stuff that happens in the Sprinter. For those that don't know,the Sprinter is a big blue van that has Ole Miss on the side and it's a prettysweet ride. I always sit in one of the front two seats in the back next to AbbyNewton. Well today, we had a FUNNY moment in the sprinter on the way back tothe hotel from our practice round (which we KILLED by the way:) Abby waschecking out a vine on her phone entitled "What you think when your ex walksby" well, she clicked on it and out came some song lyrics, but they weren'tjust any song lyrics, they were song lyrics that you can't share with yourgrandma. Well, said lyrics came out and came out LOUD. Abby's face might havebeen the most priceless thing I have ever seen, imagine deer in headlightsfrantically turning down her phone! It was hilarious.
Fast forward to the SEC Banquet. The dinnerwas phenomenal and the senior salutes were great, but the best part of the mealwas the confusion that Josie and I caused. We all got a text from coachDrinkard, saying "6 ok with everyone?" Everyone answers back 'Yes ma'am" Well ...Josie and I were thinking 6 a.m. for our departure time in the morning. Nowmind you, we tee off at 9:10 and our hotel is 10 minutes from the course so 6a.m., seemed SUPER EARLY! Naturally, Josie and I mentioned this at dinner andwere greeted with "6 p.m. for dinner" and of course Josie and I let out a big"OH" ... talk about egg on face!
Well with that being said, it's time for meto get ready for our big day tomorrow. We tee off at 9:10 a.m. and are playingwith Missouri (For this SID, this is a pairing that REALLY pulls at the heartstrings. My new team playing with my alma mater... eeks!)
