Unfortunate WD In Natchez

[Music] [Music] [Music] what's going on guys welcome back to the channel and welcome to historic Natchez Mississippi got a lot of really cool old houses here place was like actually founded founded yeah that's the word founded in 1716 so six sixty years before America even became a country pretty beautiful place pretty sleepy and slow-moving but it's been nice weather hasn't been great pay attention to the the prep to get a bunch of rain on Tuesday so I got some work early in the morning and basically just sat in hotel all day and then today the golf course was just saturated no roll anywhere lifting a place in your own fairway and then no roll in the green so it was a bit of a dart board out there and there was no wind just muggy and humid going along just fine and by about the 11th hole my body just said hey Andrew I've had enough and I started actually getting like muscle spasms and cramps in my legs it wasn't fun it was really frustrating and I mean I wasn't getting mad but there wasn't much I could do I started like just straight up chunking it chunked a 3-wood chunked a hundred-yard lob wedge I hit it about 20 yards i chunked a 7-iron I went from two over to 7 over like that and the two over wasn't that terrible I was playing well I was flagging it but my welcome back to Bermuda greens was rude just narrowly miss reading the grain on everything inside 10 feet and through the first 10 hole they missed like 4 or 5 putts inside 10 feet just because of grain I had great putts just I misread where the grain was gonna do I over read it or I under read it and then by the end of it it was it was just tough like I started just not hitting driver because just the longer swing was more strain on my legs I'm just not exactly how I envisioned it going I thought my emphasis on rest was a good idea but things like this remind me I'm not 24 anymore and I can't drive 18 hours to Florida day to days break drive 10 hours and then expect to compete my body said hey goood you know but you should know that our than this so it sucks it's not like it was a shootout day one but there's obviously a lot of birdies with a soft golf course no role in the fairway certainly lengthen this golf course out quite a bit only two par fives are reachable I think six under was weeding in the morning draw and cut it will probably be like anywhere from two to four under less I shoot 10 under par tomorrow probably me back in my bags after two days it's disappointing but I'm not at all letting it affect my confidence or self belief or anything like that this was just something flew really so I'm just trying to rest today I have a 120 tee time tomorrow but I get something in the 60s and feel good about this these two days in Mississippi and I gotta say this abt Tour they do a fantastic job you know I've led a lot of tours over the years in this even though it's a mini developmental tour they do it right to communicate with the players is great we get actual rainfalls not just whatever the range of the course work we're at has like we get Callaway chrome soft golf balls to practice with it just it feels as close to the McKenzie Tour as anything else I've played at this kind of third-tier level I'm really really impressed and I look forward to playing the next event in just about a month to Dallas because it's actually gonna be a Stableford event that's gonna be really fun and I'll fly there not driving to Dallas I'll fly there and be really really physically rested this fatigue of my body just sucks so gonna go out tomorrow have some fun get a little more comfortable of Bermuda grass Humber didn't see what happened 62 it could happen but I never say never what's up guys round 2 recap and it's a short one I played four holes I played four holes today and then withdrew why like I said yesterday I'm like what what was going on with my legs was really weird and I've never had that experience before and I did everything I could to get my legs back ready to play some golf stretch them I rolled them I rest it you know you would think with a hundred degree humidity here in Mississippi it wouldn't have been an issue and I got up there and a warm-up was fine as it progressed my legs just you know slowly started to kind of ache and by the second hole like it was like a chronic pain and I don't mean chronic him like oh my gosh it was so painful but it felt like I couldn't really bend my knees and then tried to make golf swings with that even rehearsal swings where I was letting my lower body go and my hips clear Hurst I got through four holes and was just like no what I'll get through nine and then that'll be it there is a lot on my mind at the moment as well and I'll get into that I actually did I texted Kelly yeah the only gonna play nine holes is still really hurting when we are on the fifty siren when a storm is here even though it's sunny there's just so much electricity I think it's gonna be a long long delay I'm not gonna sit around and wait and wait and wait to go out and play five more holes even if I you know birdie all of them the cut is not in the cards I was gonna have to shoot 62 or better to make the cut today but that's not really what's going on in my mind I came to the thought of withdrawing now at three o'clock or when I did and not waiting out till we go back out in the scene is hurricane Florence is approaching looking like it might go a little bit south and when it goes a little bit stuff that could affect Jacksonville and this will be the third year in a row or a hurricane potentially affects where I live but every other year I was actually Canada when it was hacking whereas this time I'd like to be home with Kelly just in case it does take a turn for the worst and we need to get out of there that's more important then than anything in golf and yeah this is super disappointing I came here with with such confidence and my confidence isn't gone yeah I gotta figure out what what happened why my legs did what they did or know if it was dehydration or the travel or old age you're gonna have to maybe look into some fizzy or even when I get back hopefully the event just outside of Raleigh on the 22nd 23rd if they don't get hit with flooding and all of that so fingers crossed prayers up that this hurricane doesn't do the amount of damage that it's predicting or predictive to do because there's things way more important than golf and people's safety is is one of those things so whatever unfortunate circumstances here in Mississippi but all that being said I really did enjoy my time here and enjoyed this small little town that's it guys bummer but I'm still smiling so I guess I'll see you guys next week with some practice stuff
