Another Missed Cut By 1 Shot

It was an interesting week on the golf course. I am still fighting the rib injury but it is slowly getting better. I opened the tournament with a 2 over 74. The second round was much better with a 5 under 67. I was very pleased with my play in the second round. I was a few burned edges with putts on the back nine from really having a great day. Unfortunately my first round put me too far back and I still missed the cut at 3 under for the tournament. I never enjoy missing cuts but it is even worse when you miss by a single shot. I am looking forward to a week and a half break before my next event. I need the time to rest my injury and get back to playing pain free golf. I will still be able to work on my short game with putting and short chip shots. I probably won't hit a full shot for at least a week. I am looking forward to the second half of the summer. I have a lot of room for improvement over the next few months. Thanks for checking in

T33 in 5th Desert Summer Event

It was a good but tough week on the golf course. I shot rounds of 71, 70, 75 to finish in a tie for 33rd. In my preparation for the tournament after a week off I managed to injure my left shoulder. As I have been told by my chiropractor, Kevan Evans, I had two ribs that were out of place. After a couple of sessions with Kevan the ribs feel better and I plan on playing this week. I am not completely pain free but I feel better than I did in the final round last week. Hopefully my body will hold up and I will have a chance to continue improving and possibly qualify for next weeks mid summer tour championship in Dallas. I need to be in 36th on the money list to qualify, I am currently in 51st about $3000 back. I will keep everybody updated after the completion of the tournament. I know its been a tough summer so far but I truly am excited about playing golf again. I have had my ups and downs this year but I am on my way back up. Thanks for stopping by the site
