Rough Day

Cal seems to be on the mend from a rough day yesterday.  He woke up Saturday morning with what now appears to be a sinus infection.  He felt absolutely awful.  We tried Benadryl and Ibuprofen, but it just wasn't enough.  He threw up most of the day and throughout the NLC tournament.

God love him for sticking it out and finishing the round.  He would hit a shot and then bend over waiting for the next one.  There were a couple of bright spots as he birdied the first and tenth hole, but overall he finished the day with a 92.  Not what he was hoping for, especially since that score put them in last place in the NLC.

Doug and I both believe that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but it sure is hard to know how much he has worked this season only to have this happen.  That is the story of golf, however.  Good days and bad days all abound.  One errant shot or a bad hop can easily end a career round.  The nice part about the sport is that there is always another day.

Today Cal was back at it, practicing with his Grandpa and then later with his friends.  He is taking an antibiotic and started on allergy medicine.  Don't know how it will be for Tuesday's Bob Turner Classic at Tippy County Club.  The end goal now is to get ready for sectionals.
