Finally, I Did It!!!

Finally, at last I made a cut. I am so excited right now I can't really contain myself. I feel so relieved to get that heavy burdon on not making a cut off my chest. I started out this tournament with a bang, the first round I came out firing shooting a 67 (-5) which put me in third place at the end of day one. The round went a little something like this, I started out on the par 5 10th hole where I hit a great first drive of the day right down the middle of the fairway. I hit my three wood for my second shot and hit it right on the green giving me a putt for eagle. I barely missed my eagle putt giving me a tap in Birdie on the first hole. What a good way to start. I made a par on the next three holes and then made birdie on the 14th hole (my 5th hole) to go two under for the day. I made par on the next two holes and then on the par 5 17th I got the break of the day. I pull hooked my drive heading into trouble, but it hit a tree and bounced back into the rough. I felt so relieved when I saw my ball bouncing back into play. I layed up with a 7 iron leaving myself 90 yards to the hole, I hit a little lob wedge in there to 5 feet behind the hole. I made that putt to go 3 under for the round. I made an easy par on the next hole to finish the nine at 3 under. On the first hole (which is my 10th hole) my tee shot landed in the fairway and rolled into the rough by 2 inches. I get up to my ball and there is a huge glob of mud right on the back of the ball, right were the club makes contact with the ball. I tried not to make it bother me and I hit my shot, missing the green long and right of the pin made it for a difficult up and down. I hit a good chip shot that left me with a 15 footer for par, which I barely missed making my first bogie of the day, back to 2 under on the day. Now after that I had to do some pep talking to myself to get me motivated not to be satisfied with 2 under par. I teed it up on the next hole and ripped a drive right down the middle. It was a par five leaving me with 240 yards for my second shot, I hit my two iron just short of the green then chipped it up and made the putt for birdie. I then birdied the next hole and the next hole for three in a row to get to 5 under for the day. I finished the round with 5 straight pars nearly missing birdie on every one. The second round was just as exciting coming down the stretch. I will just tell you about the end. Anyway I was really struggling for the first part of the round, feeling very nervous, trying to do everything I did in the first round and it felt like nothing was going right. I was 5 over par through 11 holes, all the way back to even par for the tournament with 7 holes to play when they blow the horn for inclement weather, and thank the Lord that they did because things were not going well. They ended up not starting play until this morning, Saturday, at 8:30. So I had time to recoop, regain my focus and come back out the next day determined to play well. So I came out this morning playing the 12th hole, pared 12 and 13, then I birdied 14, 15, pared 16, birdied 17 and pared 18 to shoot 1 under on the back and 74 (+2) for the second round. Three under par for the tournament, not only did I make the cut, but I was tied for 21st place with two rounds to play.
