Decisions, decisions

Sitting in my hotel room here - sore, burnt, and with deadly blisters on my feet - I'm at a loss for what to do tomorrow.

I can't believe how much the sun took out of me yesterday - I woke up today with little to no energy, and couldn't even walk more than a handful of holes today. I only talked to three players today - along with a military officer - and produced nowhere near as much content as I did yesterday.

I just couldn't do it, and I passed out for a few hours immediately after I made it back to the hotel.

I was planning on golfing this afternoon - couldn't do it. Was planning on driving to Kentucky for dinner - probably too late to do that now, as well.

106-degree temperatures and a commitment to comprehensive golf coverage? Not an easy combination.

Now I have a decision to make. I have been contemplating a few options: stay here and cover the final round tomorrow (in miserable, blistering heat), go to Pittsburgh for the final round of the Senior Players (where my idol Fred Funk is in contention), or scrap the golf and go to Kings Island or Kennywood (amusement parks that we will pass on the way home)?

Or I can just drive home, and then go to sleep for a few days, before the Dave Matthews Band concert at Darien Lake on Tuesday night.

Whether it's a product of being out of shape, or just trying to overextend myself, yesterday completely crushed my energy level - and I'm trying to figure out how to get it back quickly. A lot of good options for tomorrow, and I need to pick the best one. And being an indecisive person at heart, it won't be easy.

But I do know my deadline for Pittsburgh is around 4 a.m. - because Pittsburgh is 8 hours away, and Fred tees off just afternoon.

So I have almost 8 hours to decide. Might be a good idea to sleep on it a little more.

Because I definitely need the sleep.
