1st Round Recap
No witty title tonight, sorry. Today was an interesting day to say the least. I made it on time to the tee at 2:42 pm Pacific, and conquered my first fear of the day, getting the ball airborne. Actually, I hit my first drive of the open right down the middle, then hooked my second shot of the day into the bleachers left of the green. Let the roller coaster begin. Actually, I used the bleachers to my advantage twice today, which was good because I am always the first to comment on that when I watch golf on TV. I made bogey at one (Tiger made double, but also shot 72, so I can't brag, shucks), and when all was said and done, 10 bogeys, a birdie (there was no shutout, apparently ESPN picked the birdie up) and shot 80. Overall, actually I'm a little disappointed, it should have been a couple of shots better. But I did learn a lot today that I will keep with me for a very long time. Despite the score, I am still excited to play tomorrow. Night...

With you all the way bud.
We thought it should have been no higher than 75 or 76.
Well done.
Love,
Dad and Mom

Wow Garrett! How amazing. I watched the coverage as much as I could and told everyone that I was golfing with yesterday about my friend at the Open. They were very impressed. I'm enjoying the blog - Good luck today!

Couldn't be more proud of you making your first Open. It's an awesome sight seeing your name on the crawl on ESPN. Here's to a great second round today.
By the way, can I throw out the rice you left in the fridge or should I send it to you?

Garrett -
I got my whole office watching. My grandmother and Mom were calling me all day to ask how you were doing. I was glued to ESPN 360 and saw you play the 3rd. I scared everyone who sits around me - I yelled when that putt almost went it.
I'll be following you today. Best of luck, buddy.
