Supermeet 2009

Yesterday we had the Supermeet at Airport National Golf Course. Let's just say that course has the easiest 27 holes of golf. Yeah, thats right. There's 27 holes, not the usual 18. In our meet of 14 different teams across the state in our conference, we only played 18. Instead of 36, par there on the front 9 holes is 32. The par on the back? 31. So obviously the total par we played was 63. At a course with this low of par, we are expected to shoot better than we normally do. So I shot better, but definitely not a 63. I shot an 80, which is my all-time best on 18 holes. I was happy with my score, even though I knew I could've done a lot better.

But you know who did shoot a 63 yesterday? Alex. She did really well, and shot exactly par to win the whole meet. She beat out Sarah Boss, the #1 player from Waterloo West. Waterloo West was the winning team yesterday in the first of our two meet tournament. This year we are in the Mississippi Division this year, with Waterloo West, Dubuque Wahlert, Iowa City High, Iowa City West, Linn Mar, and us. This is basically the hardest conference ever. The system is rigged. We placed 4th out of the 6 teams in our division. If we would've been in the other conference, we would've placed 2nd, losing to Dubuque Hempstead by only a few strokes. I'm sure the system isn't really rigged, we just got placed with 5 other really good teams by chance.

The second and final meet in the Supermeet is at Bunker Hill. Where apparently there are no bunkers at all except for a few? Anyways, hopefully that goes well too, and we place better than 4th in our division. [<3]
