Hi all.
Sadly this was not the best week for team Ries.
After a shaky start on day one things got out of hand yesterday with some
pretty errant tee shots on a course that requires accuracy all over.
There where flashes of brilliance but unfortunately they where only flashes...
It was a fun week and starting out on the first tee I couldn't really feel my legs
with a hundred or so people in the grand stands cheering me on. It was a valuable experience and one that I'm thankful for- I'm now 0-2 for cuts made in the SA Open but I'm confident the way my game has been progressing that the cuts will start coming more naturally out here!
There was one funny incident that happened in my group on day two: my playing partner Eugene, was attempting to go for the par five 3rd hole in two, after striking ball out of the sweet spot it proceeded to hit a huge and unlucky bird mid flight! I couldn't help but laugh!
It was awesome to have my family and friends in the crowd and my old grandmother who still thinks that golf isn't a real job...
My next event is the second week of January in East London. Its called the Africa Open (European Tour event), it will mark the start of our 2010 season. I will post my next blog then.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed new year!
God Bless.
