So last week I was in Southport, NC playing in an eGolf event. I came into the week looking forward to the courses as they are both very nice and fun to play. On the way up to the course I went and saw my coach and got some things figured out and some new things to work on.
The event started on Wed where I shot an opening round of even par 72. I felt as if it was an ok start as I had a couple rough holes to start and was able to battle it back to even on the day. The second day wasn't as good as I shot 75 to make the cut on the number at +3. It was a pretty high cut as the courses were both playing pretty tough and the wind was up both days.
So good news was that I did make the cut which meant I made a check. Bad news was that was the only good news. The weekend was really bad! Ooops, but that happens every now and again just not going to let it happen any more. I finished the week t65 or so and lets just say I am looking forward to this week (the next week when I finished). Swing was feeling pretty good I just think i was guiding the ball a little bit too much and possibly thinking too much about my swing...
This week I am in Columbia, SC playing in another eGolf event. Have some good memories from this place so hoping I will be able to get some good juices going and have a little fun this week! Ill keep you all posted on the results at the end of the week. Thanks for following me and check back soon.

European Tour - Hassan Trophy Morocco
A little late on the post but better late than never... So this was my first ever European Tour event and in one of my favorite countries, Morocco!! As I said in the previous post we were in Agadir. Agadir is located a couple hours south of Casablanca on the coastline.
Started the week off on a serious high note when I was the first group out on the Palace course, which was actually inside the palace walls! The course was immaculate! No one had played the course in at least 5 years so needless to say it was perfect! The second day we went and played the secondary course. The course was good but definitely couldn't compare to the Palace course.
It was a good couple days of practice and was ready to get underway in the actual tournament!
The tournament started on Thursday. When I woke up I quickly realized it was going to be an interesting day! The wind was blowing pretty good and it was the hottest wind I had ever experienced. I forget what they called the wind but it came straight from the Sahara. We dealt with these winds the first two days.
The first day I really had it going. Was 3 under with 5 to play but finished poorly ended with 73 on the day (+1) . It was an interesting day, I felt as if I played quite well. I was still feeling good, onto the next round. Second round was at the secondary course. Needless to say it wasn't quite as nice but still ok. Shot 72(E) to make the cut. I was happy that I made the cut but also knew that I was hitting it quite well and had two more days to improve my position. The next two days were a little bit of a let down for me. I played quite well from tee to green but the short game wasn't there and I wasn't able to post any great scores. Finished the third and fourth days with 73 72 and ended up t60 on the week. Made a decent check for the week I think it was about $4000 euros so covered the travel costs and other expenses. It was a fun week and something I will never forget!
