Well this one was a hard one to take as usual but coming into the week I was so positive and upbeat about my game and where I was mentally. I played one practice round and another round in a Pro-Am at the course. The pro am day went great, met some very nice members at the club and played some good golf. It was definitely a good way to start off the tournament week.
So round 1. I was off to a good start shot -2 on my front nine. Didn't do anything great but also didn't make any mistakes. Then made the turn had three bad holes in a row. Made one swing off the tee that caused a bogey then hit two very poor putts, one leading to a bogey and the other was a short birdie try. After those three holes I actually had some decent looks at birdie just couldn't get anything to go. I even hit a flagstick on one par 5 knocking my ball off then green when I would have had a tap in for birdie. So round one I shot even. Not good, not bad but still easily able to get back into the tournament and play the weekend.
Round 2. I again started off well sitting at -1 thru 8 holes. Proceeded to make a silly bogey on 9 to turn at even. Just needed to put together a solid back nine and I would make the cut and play on. Unfortunately a few loose swings came up and put myself too far behind. I had it to even for the tournament with 4 holes to play then missed a 5 footer for par which all but put me out of everything. I played poorly to finish but already had it in my head that I had missed another cut.
I was really disappointed this week with how it went. I know I had worked hard and did everything I could but still fell short.
Good news is is that there is still Q School ahead and that can make any year a great year!! I am in Hilton Head, SC for a couple days working with my coach. Had a good day today, everything looks great just a little off. It is crazy how little of a difference there is to shooting even par and -6. Just a swing here and a few putts.
Up next for me is still TBD. I am thinking about trying to do a few Monday Qualifiers for the Web.com tour instead of some eGolf events... I will let you all know as soon as something happens. I just signed up for Q School for 2012!! Looking forward to that!
Until next time, thanks for reading and following me, Im going to be working hard to make this year a good one!!
