PGA Tour Canada Qualifying - Round 1

On Saturday, I joined Tim for an 8 hour drive to Lompoc, CA for the PGA Tour Canada Qualifying at La Purisima Golf Club.  Tim played two practice rounds which I was able to walk along and carry his golf bag for him. The course is full of beautiful rolling hills and strong winds that will definitely challenge all the golfers this week.

On Tuesday, Tim started his first round of the week with an early tee time.  He finished with a score of 72, par.  He is currently at T19 with the playing field of 130 golfers.  He tees off on Wednesday at 12:30 pm.

Here is a link to the leaderboard for the event.

A special thanks to Tim's sister and brother-in-law Tracy and Scott Lambrecht for hosting this week.  And especially Tim's niece for letting Uncle Tim sleep in her bed all week!
