Gateway Summer Event #3 Up Next

The Gateway Tour summer season is off to a bit of a slow start. I have played well in the first 2 events but have had trouble scoring well and missed both cuts. I need a week where I can put all aspects of my game together. So far I have hit the ball well but struggled to make enough putts to get much momentum and take it low. I am looking forward to this week's event at Pinnacle Peak Country Club and Tatum Ranch Golf Club. I played both of these courses on the summer circuit last year.
As you all know we lost a great man this fall in Chip Strong. Chip was an investor for Van Cleave Golf and continues to be one through his daughter Allison. I was lucky enough to play golf with Chip several times at several great courses and there was no one that loved the game more than he did. This fall they will be starting the Chip Strong Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit a scholarship fund and Northwest Basketball. The fund raiser will be Friday, September 21st at Mozingo Lake Golf Course. I am looking forward to coming back and playing in this great event. Please help to make this tournament a success by signing up to play and possibly becoming a sponsor for the tournament. If anyone is interested in playing contact Allison Strong or the Northwest Foundation for information. This is going to be a great opportunity to celebrate and remember Chip Strong.
Thanks again for checking in. Feel free to contact me at any time; vancleavegolf@hotmail.com.
I will be in touch again soon,
Matt
