SEGA match-play begins

Later today at Jimmy Clay in Austin, I will join 3 others competing in the first round of the SEGA (State Employee Golf Association) Match Play Championship for 2009. We're guaranteed at least 3 matches through March, April, May. Wins in each month = 2 points, ties = 1 point, loss = 0 points. Golfer with most points advances to Round 4 and possibly to Round 6, the championship in August. Will be joining today three golfers with similar handicaps (now I'm at a 12 with SEGA, but not really playing that well these days, so I may be out of the running early.) After some quite cold weather the past few days (in bone-chilling low 40s), today we are expected to have afternoon highs in the low 80s. After the recent rains, the course at Clay today should be in great condition.
