After leaving Tuscaloosa this morning, we drove 90 minutes to West Point, Mississippi to play the Old Waverly Golf Club. Home to the 1999 Women's US Open, 2nd best course in the state. It was a very enjoyable layout. A little wet and a little cold but otherwise perfectly sunny and no reason not to post a good score.
I had 41, 36 for 77 today (2 doubles killed me on the front). All in all, our first four rounds of the trip were a success from a score standpoint, keeping it under 80 for the most part.
Following golf, we decided to run over to Starkeville, Mississippi; where Mississippi State University is. Two SEC schools in 2 days...I feel like I am cheating on the ACC!
We ate a late lunch at the Little Dooey BBQ Restaurant. It was awesome! If you're ever in Starkeville, it is a must go.
And after a 250 mile drive through the Mississippi nothingness, we arrived at my aunt and uncles house around 8pm.
On a side note: Mississippi is like a different country. I walked into a gas station in the middle of nowhere wearing grey slacks and a light blue Peter Millar sweater...and if looks could kill, I would be dead. I thought South Carolina was southern...Mississippi blows them out of the water. These people hang out at the gas station because literally, there is nowhere else to hang out.
Tomorrow, we will do a quick tour of the University of South Alabama, where my uncle works. Then it is off to New Orleans for the night.
Thats it for tonight. The weather is supposed to warm up tomorrow! The only question now is...when will the sweater vest make an appearance?
Thanks for reading!
