On Tuesday we played in the Simpson Invitational held at Blank Golf Course in Des Moines... and we won our first ever college team tournament in my four years at Coe!
The conditions were brutal for all the golfers. We were scheduled for a 10:30 a.m. tee time but weather conditions forced our starting tee time back to noon. As we drove to Des Moines from Cedar Rapids, we drove for a half an hour through heavy snow. We thought there was no way we were going to play. But the snow that fell didn't stick to the ground and the course was still playable, barley.
The wind gusts were blowing in excess of 30 m.p.h. when we started, but after about six holes the conditions improved and we actually saw signs of the sun for the first time in a long time.
As a team we shot 319, and were lead by mine and Mike Jump's scores of 79. We beat host Simpson by one stroke, who we hadn't beaten in 2 years. It was definitely a sign of the improvements our team has made throughout the season and the guys are surely looking forward to this weeks two-day tournament in Dubuque at the Meadows.
