Way behind on the blog but there is a reason for that... poor golf. The last couple weeks for me haven't gone all that well. Lets start at the British Open Qualifier in Plano, TX. The highlight of the round was playing with Stuart Appleby. As you all know he is a pretty good player. It was a good experience to watch him play. I say "watch" because I struggled on the course this day. We had some poor weather come through the area and the event was shortened to 18 holes. 66 would have got you into the British Open but my chances were well gone early in the day as I posted 76. Chalk up a cool experience and a learning experience getting to play with a player in the top 50 in the world.
Next event was the Hooters Tour event in Georgetown, KY. Another disappointing week. I missed the cut shooting -2 and the cut was -3. Really didn't play all that poorly, but didn't make any putts. Not fun to miss cuts all I can say here.
Then off to MD for the Nationwide Monday Q in the DC area. My qualifier was at Northwest GC, ironically just north west of DC. I played quite well on the day shooting 68. The course was playing tough due to bad greens so it was hard to make putts. I hit the ball great just again didn't feel like I made the putts that I needed to to really put a good score up. 68 ended up being in a 8 for 2 spot playoff. I made par on the first playoff hole and that was the end of that. No Nationwide event in MD.
Finally, I was in Lake Wylie, SC last week. Unfortunately another MC. Looking back on the event I probably should not have played as I left MD on Tues at 8pm and had to tee it at 8am the following morning. I had a 7.5 hour drive and only 12 hours to drive / sleep and be on the first tee. I burnt the candle at both ends and it got me! I won't be doing that again that is for sure!
This week I am in the Raleigh area doing the Monday qualifier for another Nationwide event. I tee it tomorrow at 11am and as always will need a low one to get into the event. Game feels good so ready to go out and make it happen. Thanks for following and I will have updates!
