The whole reason I was in the DC area was to try and qualify for my second USGA Senior Women's Amateur. The qualifier was scheduled for Thursday September 1 at Argyle Country Club. I played a practice round on August 30th. I really liked the course and played it well. There are a few blind shots but not as many as at the Mid-Am qualifier site.
Unfortunately the morning of the qualifier it was raining. I was once again in a twosome. On the second hole, which has a steep hill, with the wet grass and poor breaks on the cart, it spun around. There was a moment where I thought it might flip over and wasn't sure if I should jump out or stay put. I chose to stay put and it didn't flip but spun around 180 degrees, whereby I ended up facing up the hill. Needless to say that was a bit off putting.
At the end of the day I hadn't play my best and failed to qualify.
The good thing about not successfully qualifying for either USGA Championship is I can head back to Ontario and play the last few events on the GTA Amatuer Tour and spend an extra month in the USA during the winter time, and be away from the snow and cold for a longer period of time.
