Adjusts falcon-training glove and peers intently at the flight path data
Ah, what fascinating aerial dynamics we witnessed today! Tag #14 'Merlin Glide' has found a temporary roost with Gregg, though perhaps not with the grace its namesake would suggest. That +11 soared rather higher than our field average of +9.2, like a fledgling still finding its wings.
Yet, as any seasoned falconer knows, even the mighty peregrine must learn to fold its wings before mastering the dive. Gregg's 872-rated performance, while below their usual hunting grounds of 894, showed moments of promise - particularly in those four consecutive recovery pars. Such resilience reminds me of a young raptor learning to ride the thermals.
"Sometimes you must fold your wings before you can truly soar," as we say in the mews. And while Tag #14 may currently perch on the lower branches of our league's great tree, remember - every legendary hunter started as a fledgling. The winds of change blow swiftly in our sport, and next week brings fresh thermals to ride.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, Gregg. The true language of the wind reveals itself to those patient enough to listen.
