Finished up the River Hills Classic in High Point, NC a couple weeks ago. Sorry like usual I am a little behind on the blog! The event went well for the most part. I started the week off a little slower than I would have liked. I ended up making the cut on the number and to be honest I thought I had missed the cut. I was -2 after the first two rounds. I hit the ball pretty well just wasn't able to score all that well. The third round was much the same as I played some ok golf just didn't score all that well. The final round was the shiny moment of the week for me! I shot a 66 and moved way up the leaderboard to t12. It was the second week on the eGolf Tour that I made such a late run. Not sure why I felt the need to barely make the cuts and play well on the weekends but that was how it went the last couple weeks. So overall a fairly decent week, made a little money and as always had a good time on the course.
My last event was the Hooters Tour in Georgetown, KY. It was a fun week for me as it was fairly close to home and my dad was able to come down and caddy for me. However, the golf wasn't all that good. I ended up shooting 73 69 and missed the cut by a shot. I again played some very average golf... hit it just ok and didn't make many putts at all. It was my first missed cut of the year. I guess it had to happen sometime. Better to be in a Hooters Tour event than lets say a Nationwide Tour event!
I am currently down in Plano, TX getting ready for the British Open Qualifying event at Gleneagles Country Club. Played a practice round today and it is a great course. I am really looking forward to the event as it is a good field and it is also a chance to play in the British Open! The top 8 from the qualifier move on to the UK! We are having some bad weather down here right now so hoping tomorrow will be better. They are calling for high winds, the weather knows that we are playing for a trip to the British Open!
I will have a update hopefully sooner than later for you all! Thanks for following!!

eGolf Tour Columbia Open
Last week I was playing in the eGolf event in Columbia, SC. The tournament was held at Cobblestone Park and Columbia CC. My first round was at Cobblestone CC. I was really looking forward to the event as I felt as the game was really coming around and some swing changes were starting to feel good. On the first day I played some solid golf, made some good birdies and overall a good day. Had it t0 -4 standing in the middle of the 18th fairway which is a par 5. I ended up making an 8 on the hole to finish the day at -1. Very frustrated to say the least. I felt like I was finally back into some good form and just tripped all over myself on the final hole. The second round I was at Columbia CC. I knew going into the day I needed a pretty good round as the scores were very low so far and the cut was going to be around -4. I ended the day shooting -3 and made the cut on the number. Another good day on the course. Missed out on a couple opportunities but overall was pleased with the day.
The third round began for me late as I was in one of the final groups on the back nine. Not the best place to be starting because it meant I was on the cut line. Fortunately I was paired with two good friends of mine. It was a great day, not only did I shoot 66 I had a good time with a couple good friends. I shared the low third round of the day with the eventual leader after round 3. Then onto the final round. I managed to get to -10 after the 3rd round. I was 7 back starting the day. I was needing a low round to give myself any sort of chance to give the leaders a run. I shot 64 in the final round and had the lowest round of the day. It was a lot of fun and great for my confidence as I had been struggling coming into the week a little with my mental game. Ended the week finished 4th and made a nice check!
Overall the week was a pretty good one. I started off well just had one unfortunate break that tested my patience to the max and was able to get it going as the week went on!
This week I am in Athens, GA for the Nationwide Monday Q. Hopefully I can get it going and play well, the trend lately is for Monday Qs to play well in the actual tournament so might as well try and keep that going!
Thanks for following and I will keep updates as the happen!
