I am fairly pleased with how well I handled the conditions this week at the South Central Section Championship.  I posted rounds of 72-72 at the Crestview Country Club, North Course in Wichita, Ks. This was good enough for a 2nd place finish…

The wind blew 20-30 mph both days and this made the course play really difficult.  I felt like I played really good golf tee to green on both rounds with 13 and 14 greens in regulation.  I was challenged both physically and mentally handling the extreme wind conditions when putting.  I had trouble getting “comfortable” over many putts when my balance was thrown off by the wind and thus made too many strokes on the greens with low confidence.

Handling Windy Conditions on the Greens:

Some of the ways that I try to handle windy conditions is by widening my stance and flexing my knees more than normal to lower my center of gravity.  This is a putting characteristic that you will see an several PGA Tour players that play a lot of golf in the wind.

On a positive note…I did make a Hole in One on the 8th hole of the first round! Drinks are on me!

    Since I was a young girl I have been playing the game of golf. My game and skills have progressed thanks to the help from my coach, Trent Rommann. Trent has dedicated a lot of time into improving my skills as well as others. From the summer golf Ping team, to workouts and even individual lessons he helps all that come to him.
    As a golfer, I have won two state championships as a member of the Kapaun Mt. Carmel girls golf team. I recently signed to play college golf at Rockhurst University. Because of Trent’s instruction, I have become a more successful golfer.

    “When we joined Crestview last summer Trent Rommann welcomed me right in and invited me to join the Ping Jr Interclub Team. Trent has pushed me to be the best player I can be whether it’s on the course or at the gym. Trent always has the best interest for the other kids and I. Trent makes practicing fun with games and prizes. This past November I signed to play golf at Fort Hays State University and can thank Trent for getting me to the level I need to be at to play there.”
