Orlando, Norse Golf Has Arrived

We arrived last night, as dapper as can be (see photos), on our flight from Cedar Rapids to a welcome shout-out from the flight crew of Allegiant Air to the Luther College Golf Team. The excitement was evident as some team members couldn't leave the terminal without taking out the golf shoes. This morning saw many of us wake up as the sun started to rise, Mr. Schumacher went for the 1 mile run around the range. The day was spent practicing hard on all aspects of our games, a few hours at the great chipping and bunker greens as well as a few putts. And then the first Norse Challenge of the trip took place as the Young Guns (Kerns, McLeod, Smith) took on the Veterans (Gaudian, Jacobucci, Schumacher) in a stroke play match on the Tooth, the 9 hole executive course at OCN. The event ended in a tie, with low round of the day going to Jack with very tidy 29. We would like to give our best birthday wishes to Mr. Trent McLeod up in Ayr, Canada. Tomorrow brings the first round of the year for the Norse as we look to smash the record-books at Stoneybrook West.
