Kansas Golf Trip - Day 2

Omaha, NE ---> Lawrence, KS

Thanks Mitch, you are the reason we don't need an alarm clock. Oh well an early awakening gets the worm or something like that. I took the first shower and got out of the room to go to get some breakfast. As with the custom of Southern hotels, this hotel had some delicious biscuits and gravy served for breakfast. This is one of my favorite parts of the trip. What made the morning even better was a sunrise rivaling the sunset from the night before shining through the windows of the lobby. It was very impressive (see picture). I got the internet to work that morning and promptly finished my NCAA bracket on facebook before we left (UCLA beating Kansas for the Championship by the way).

We got on our way at about eight o'clock towards the forecasted high of 68 degrees. The three hour drive seemed to go by very quickly as I was writing the previous post during it. Something noticeable from Omaha onwards was that there was absolutely no snow on the ground.

We arrived at the second McDonalds of our trip at a little before noon. This one was unique in a different way than the previous one. This one was in the middle of the interstate. That's right, right in between the North-Bound and South-Bound traffic there was a McDonalds!

FINALLY, we arrived at the golf course, Eagle Bend. It was everything that I remember it being from 3 years ago. It was excellent to be able to chip and putt on GRASS!!! My foursome was comprised of me, my father, Andrew, and Brian. My first hole of the year was a bogey sadly, but I came back with a par on the second.

My Stats:

Score: 90 (Not bad, but definitely could've been better)

Putts: 39 (Bad, needs to get better)

Greens in Regulation: 7 (So-So)

Fairways: 3/14..... YIKES

But the day was all in all a success because I got to golf. It was awesome and great to finally get out golfing. Once we got back to the hotel we decided to go to eat. My golf group walked to a steak house and I had a delicious ribeye.

That's what brings us to the present time!

Oh yeah, the high for today was 69 degrees!!!
