Golf as it was meant to be

A few years back I took my first actual job as a caddie at Bandon Dunes.  I guess it’s fitting that I may be getting my next job while at Bandon Dunes as well!

The competitions part of Wear In The World is now over.  Steve eked out the W, though with the help of my followers I was able to keep it very close.  The good news is, with tomorrow’s final interview I’m easily within striking distance of the overall victory (and of course the job that comes along with it!).  It’ll all on me now, but I’d like to thank all of you that helped put me in this position!

As for today, it was all about golf…just as it should be at Bandon Dunes.  We started on Pacific Dunes at 7:00am today.  Pacific Dunes was always my favorite course at Bandon back when I was a caddie and got to play the courses a lot and it didn’t disappoint.  As always the course was simply spectacular and in great condition.  The caddies were great.  The weather was solid.  Golf doesn’t get much better than this!  It of course helped that I played pretty well and shot 74.

After the morning round we went over to play Old Macdonald, the newest course at Bandon.  I’d never played Old Mac, but had heard nothing but rave reviews so I was excited to get the chance to play.

Even better, adidas gave me a pair of the new adiPURE Z shoes about a month before they’ll be up for sale.  While I didn’t play quite as well in the afternoon (77) I had a blast and was very impressed with the course.  The shoes were outstanding as well.  All the comfort of the standard adiPURE, but with a more classic look that I’m a huge fan of.

Tomorrow is the final day of WITW.  I’m looking forward to getting home, but this has been one incredible ride that I’ll certainly never forget!  I hope tomorrow goes well, but either way I’ll write with the results.
