Ted,

Congrats pro! Prodigious people look for prodigious people. It looks like the Lord found her one.

Is that a bad word???

I have lost 11 pounds, so I think I'm less prodigious than I've been in a long time.

When we finished practicing today, they told her that her time was now 2:30 on Thursday.

I walked 11 holes with her, today. And, we spent a couple of hours on the range and two or more hours on the putting green. It was a great time, and the course is beautiful. It's interesting that Jean can only use driver 4 times. The fairways are rock hard and the rough is deep. So, it makes no sense to use driver on most of the holes. She's going to use many 3 & 5 woods.

When I get back to the Motherland (Georgia), I'll post some of the pictures that I took.

After one round, I recognized a few of the names tied with Jean...

Karrie Webb
Annika Sorenstam
Grace Park
Meg Mallon
Sherri Steinhauer

She ground it out and birdied the last two to finish at +2. I'm proud of her for fighting through the nerves since it's her first U.S. Open, and first LPGA event.

Here are a few of the pics...

#1. Why put your forearm there??

#2. Jean, her brothers, and one old guy.

#3. Look out ball!

Thanks DG,

I would be thrilled. And, I know she would, too.

Something really funny happened while I was watching her practice round. There were plenty of people watching that day. There was a group of three men watching Jean hit into #9. One said, "hey, look at that little girl." She proceeds to smash a 7 wood into the green from about 185 to an uphill green, and one of the other guys said, "holy $*#+ !!! Did you see that?"

I just laughed and kept walking.

Love that 1st picture, setting up with the right forearm on plane. Hope she does well---nice company she is keeping on the leaderboard.
