First Week Back


Grand Blanc, MI at 9:00 pm!

Parker and I were both looking forward to getting back on the road after our very enjoyable 3 week break. It was the longest break of the year so far... one week is just never enough, by the time you get unpacked and get everything put away, you have to pull it all back out again! Three weeks was just right! We had the chance to relax, cook at home, and even got to see his entire family for his cousin's wedding.

At first we felt a little rusty with our packing, but we got back into the swing of traveling very quickly. The hardest thing for us this week was adjusting to the time change. Coming from the West Coast, adjusting to East Coast time is hard enough by itself, but since Michigan is so far north, it stays light sooooo late. It didn't get dark until 10:00 at night there.

Even though he didn't get the chance to play on the weekend, Parker is feeling great about his game and is enjoying getting back into his rhythm. On his time off, he visited the Titleist facility in Southern California and has put a new driver in the bag for these upcoming weeks.

Off the course pretty much consisted of movies and working out. They had a great gym nearby where I went with the girls and took cycling classes and pilates classes. Both were a first for me, and I loved it! It was great to have a group of us that motivated each other to go everyday. There was also a movie theater right by the hotel and we saw three movies this week. I think that there might be something with movies and golf...It is one of our favorite hobbies on the road. I know that Parker loves movies but it is also great way for him to get out of the sun, the heat, and away from golf crowds. Just a cool dark place to escape and enjoy.
