Starburst: O’Leary off to a fast start
By Chad Conine
| Monday, June 9, 2008, 04:07 PM
A huge week for golf in general, and especially the Teed Off Golf Blog, has begun.
I’m currently tracking all that is the Starburst Junior Golf Classic, and looking forward to the U.S. Open beginning later this week at Torrey Pines.
I’m going to update the blog with a bunch of short, punchy items from both my coverage of the Starburst and then commenting on the U.S. Open. As always, I invite comments and questions from the golf fans out there.
This morning, Midway graduate Kort O’Leary cranked it up at Ridgewood Country Club. O’Leary birdied holes 9 and 10 on his way to an even-par round and a tie for the 18-hole lead. After a practice week when the wind just about knocked golfers over on Central Texas courses last week, O’Leary said Monday’s conditions were a breeze.
The Girls’ Championship Flight is on the course at Ridgewood on Monday afternoon. There was a distinct aroma of sunscreen around the putting green at Ridgewood as I was awaiting the boys’ scores. And those girls are going to need it this afternoon. It’s a bright, sunny, scorching hot Waco June afternoon out there.
