Well, the first event of the 2007 US Pro Golf Tour is in the books. I have to consider it a successful week with a few could have beens along the way. I finished the tournament at one over par in a tie for 34th, earning $1,955.00. Unfortunately I stumbled a little on the weekend and lost a little ground on the field. It is always frustrating to be in a decent position on the weekend and go the wrong direction on the leader board. But, looking back I am very pleased with the way things turned out. To start out the year with a paycheck is always a good feeling. I really feel as though the lessons I learned last year are going to carry me a long way this year. I am already much more comfortable on the course and in the tournament setting. I am excited about the opportunities on the US Pro Golf Tour. The way the tournament was run and the feeling of big tour golf was amazing. The community of Garland and the USPGT staff did a great job of putting together a first class event. I can only hope that this was a sign of what is yet to come this year.
I am taking this week off to recover from a cold that I picked up while in Texas. This will also give me a great opportunity to work out the kinks in a few areas of my game that need work. I need to continue to learn to simply play golf and work on getting the ball in the hole, not work on how pretty my swing looks.
After a week off I will be back on the road to Hollister, California for the 2nd regional event on the USPGT. As soon as that tournament ends I will be flying to Tunica, Mississippi for the second $300,000 USPGT event. I learned this week that I love the travel and have the best job in the world. It is definitely going to be tough to be away from Sarah and Molly (our dog) as much as I will this year. Hopefully Sarah will make it out a few times to caddy and take care of me on the road. I am also looking forward to having my parents on the road a few times and my Dad putting up with me as my caddy.
Thanks again for checking in and the continued support. I will be in touch again before I hit the road to California.
