Update..
September 1st, 2010Hi there,
So I haven’t been very good at writing about the season- but it’s only because my season has been pretty much non-existent until recently. I played my first Futures Tour in Kentucky and missed the cut by 1. My next event after that was in Harrisburg, PA, again I missed the cut by 1. I then went on to play in Richmond, VA and I played very well but my short game let me down and in the end missed the cut. So I played 3 Futures Tour events and was close to being able to play on Sunday but not close enough!! It was all good experience and I learned a lot. Overall, considering the surgery I had in late April and the long lay off with no competitive golf, I’m really not too far away.
Last week I flew out to Phoenix, AZ. I have decided to play in some Cactus Tour events to get some more rounds under my belt and some more experience. I played at Southern Dunes last week and shot 74,72,70. I finished in 2nd place. The wind was howling and scoring was not low because of the weather, so I was really happy with my finish. I have not played in wind like that since my amateur tournaments in England, except it was about 50 degrees warmer at Southern Dunes!!! I carried over that momentum and played this week at Legacy Resort. I shot 69 in the first round and was tied for the lead. I then had a 72 on day 2 and fell back a few shots. Then today I had a 76 and ended up in 4th. I tripled #2 (tee shot OB) and from there on it felt like I had a mountain to climb.. I did get it back to even after 10 holes, but my short game failed to save me on the back 9 and I made a couple of stupid mistakes on par 5’s. Still though, I’ve had some great experience these past couple of weeks playing in the final group for the tournament. Next week I’m playing at Ocotillo Golf Course. I’ll let you know how that goes…. Once I’m back in Atlanta I hope to get my things together and move down to Florida in preparation for the Futures Tour qualifying school. I’m also going to enter European Tour qualifying school. I’m excited!!!! Now I’ve got to work to do… :0)
