Guess who called me Tuesday morning as I was getting ready for class? The golf coach here at WU!!! Woah!! I was so taken aback!
So to make a really long story short...
I had emailed the coach in November or so asking about the possibility of playing next year. We had talked last spring but then with my injury, I dropped the ball and didn't keep in contact with him. So I contacted him in november but he never responded to my email... and I forgot all about it.
so here we are, what like four months later? And I get this call from an unknown number... I was so surprised to hear from him and immediately got excited :) He apologized for not responding but wanted to know if i was still interested... (duh!) and if I was, could i meet with him sometime this week!
Well yes sir i think i could squeeze you into my schedule. ABSOLUTELY!
We met yesterday and talked for over an hour! It was a really great conversation and by the end we were both really excited about the possiblity of it all working out! I explained to him my whole situation with my injury but that i cannot wait to get back into golf and I would really love to play for the team next year... he said that if I could get my scores into the 80-85 range I would be able to compete for the last spot on the traveling team and would be right in the range of the #5-9 girls on the team. So that is great news! It means i'll have a lot of work ahead of me... even with how hard i tried all through high school, i could never drop my score that low. But i think i could if i really put some practice in, with a real coach and with some summer weather!
I still haven't touched a club since last may which makes me a little nervous. But honestly, that could be good cuz I will have lost my bad habits and will be all fresh to start again! So we'll see how this all works out. For now I'm looking forward to spring break and playing with the BCS girls team. The WU coach asked me to bring my clubs back after spring break and i could get some time in at the range here and possibly go out with the girls on the team once or twice. How exciting!!!
I think that's about it. I really feel like God opened up a lot of doors here to make this happen and I think he wants me to go for it! Pray that my back continues to heal (i'm like 4ish months pain free!!) so that i'll be strong enough to play a ton this summer!!
