Kimberly Gay is the wife of defending Verizon Heritage champion Brian Gay. She is sharing her experience during this week's tournament through a daily diary, as told to Justin Jarrett of The Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette.

It's been a really crazy two weeks. The Masters was everything I thought it would be, except for the golf wasn't what we wanted it to be. It is overwhelming, especially for a first-timer.

We had two very special things last week.

The par-3 contest Wednesday at the Masters was one of life's great highlights, really. To see our girls caddying for Brian and see how they enjoyed that experience was just awesome.

Then, Brian was inducted into the University of Florida Hall of Fame, so we had a party on Friday night. We decked out the house we were staying in with orange and blue, and we were staying in a Georgia Bulldogs fan's house, so thank goodness they weren't home. Brian wasn't 100 percent up for it, but he came around. It was a good distraction from missing the cut.

And then this week started with the opening ceremonies for the Heritage, and that was just a huge thing for us as a family. We were so fortunate that Makinley and Brantley, being 10 and 6, were able to enjoy it and be fully involved.

We decided to deck everybody out in tartan plaid and show support for this community that is working so hard to keep this event alive. It does so much through the Heritage Classic Foundation and the local charities, so they have to keep it alive and keep it moving forward. The parade certainly brought tears to my eyes behind the sunglasses. We love it here, and to be a part of that in the way we were was just a great way to start the week.
