Much less that can go wrong: even if you top it a bit, it'll be out there, mostly straight, with no damage done as it's a par 5. The first time I had that puky feeling on the first tee, I went with driver (it was a long par 4 though), and that was a fairly big mistake...<br /><br />I am sure you'll do fine.

Nothing should surprise you.

No need to attempt heroics, a solid disaster free round would be a coup. And about the first tee shot, it's a par 5 so at least I'll have some options if I start getting the pukey feelings--if things get really bad I'll tee off with a short iron.Legitimate Golfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403181693530513035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786532067953996112.post-91123092836546001672013-10-15T05:28:05.454-07:002013-10-15T05:28:05.454-07:00The first golf tournament, I remember mine very we...The first golf tournament, I remember mine very well. I was so worried about topping the opening drive (or worse) that I was ready to puke. I didn't so I expect you will do fine too. Don't change your game, just play the usual round with one exception. When faced with a really tough shot, dial it back and play safe. Avoid the triples and worse.bkuehn1952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786532067953996112.post-46540534740488360082013-10-14T12:30:53.621-07:002013-10-14T12:30:53.621-07:00Thanks for the solidarity man.

Can't imagine trying to compete in a tournament right now. Just be confident that you have the ability to cobble together (your words) a decent enough score even if you're not hitting it as good as you'd like.<br /><br />At least you're putting yourself out there regardless. Good for you.<br /><br />BTW, did you delete the troll comment?Duke of Hazardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638145748125680361noreply@blogger.com
