The Struggle Continues

Another week of poor golf and another missed cut. My ball striking was good at times and also pretty bad at times. I am making too many big mistakes to play good golf right now. I'm not sure what the answer to this problem is. Things just aren't clicking on the golf course. This is as frustrated as I have ever been with golf. Hopefully a week off and some time away from the course will help get me back on track. Thanks for stopping by the site.

Missed Cut

Another tough week on the golf course. I never felt comfortable with my swing and the few times I did hit good shots I couldn't convert the putts. I managed to grind out a 71 in the first round but wasn't as fortunate in the second round with a 76. It is very frustrating to miss cuts but even more frustrating that I am a long way from being in contention. Hopefully I will be able to find a swing and put together a solid tournament next week. Thanks for checking in.

44th in Second Desert Summer Event

The week started on a strong note with a bogey free 3 under 67. The second round was a bit of a struggle but I managed to shoot an ever par round of 71 and make the cut on the number. The final round, a 3 over 73, was a big struggle for most of the round but ended strong. I feel very good about the direction my game is heading. I am disappointed to finish 44th and only cash $800, but it was a step in the right direction. As I continue to learn and grow more comfortable with my swing I look forward to much stronger finishes. I am looking forward to the next few days and the chance to continue working on my swing and short game. I am looking forward to playing the next few tournaments as the courses are some of my favorites in the valley. I will update the website after the completion of next weeks event.
Happy Father's Day

Missed Cut in Desert Event #1

Another tough week on the Gateway Tour. I struggled with rounds of 76 and 73 to miss the cut by 3 shots. I am trying to work through a bit of a funk with my game right now. I really need to find my passion for the game again. It is hard to really get everything out of your game when you feel like something is missing. My physical abilities are as good as they have ever been. I just need to put the mental and spiritual side of the game back in order. I can promise you that I will do everything I can to sort out this low point. Professional golf is a tough mental challenge that only gives you little glimpses of success every now and then. If you don't enjoy the little victories in each day and round the entire load of negatives eventually falls on you. It may take baby steps to get back but my goal needs to remain to improve and get a little better each day. My goal is still to be a great player on the PGA Tour. This time I have on the Gateway Tour is my opportunity to learn and prove to myself I have what it takes to be great. Thanks again for the support and patience.
