4/18/2014 | Women's Golf, Blog
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.
Well, looks like I'm cursed (At least I amnot a British man, sorry Lynnette) We've got rain here in Birmingham, gofigure. The last time I traveled with this crew, we had an ENTIRE roundcancelled in Knoxville and today we had a one hour rain delay and now we've hadtoday's round cancelled. It's definitely me (Sorry coaches!)
In my time at the course today, I havenoticed that golfers have some really interesting ways to pass time. Aside fromthe usual playing with your phone and listening to music, doing homework, thereare also teams that play cards. Texas A&M and South Carolina were havingintense card games, while our team just enjoyed our time together. Lots oflaughs had by allJ and many many things for our quote board!
Despite the rain, we did have a few fans, ouradministrator Lynnette Johnson made the trip to cheer us on and we even had analum out on the course during our practice round, John Todd (Class of '64). Wehave some of the best fans ever. You can count on a Rebel sighting wherever wego! Â
Ok so back to the rain ....
We decided at 12:45 p.m. that we were goingto play. (Yay). So we had a rain soakedday on the golf course. We battled not only the course, but the wind and therain and the darkness and we came out #RebelStrong.
As usual, the best part of the day wasdinner. We had a lovely meal in the private room at Greystone's Legacy Course (Shoutout to Brett for hooking that up). During this meal, we talked about many, manythings but the best was talking about what each golfer would have as a walk upsong if we did that sort of thing in golf.
Coach Drinkard's was the best. It's an EltonJohn song and if you know Coach Drinkard you know what this song isJ
There were lots of laughs as usual at dinnertonight and I'll leave you with this little gem.
"T-W-O by T-W-O by T-W-O" you'll have to askTaelor Rubin about that one.
We're back at it tomorrow at 10 a.m. Makesure to follow along on Golfstat and on @OleMissWGolf on Twitter throughout theweekend.
