Rain Shortens Houma Event to 36 Holes

T21 --- 68 / 74 : -2 --- $1,390.00
The season got off to a great start after an opening round 4 under 68. The conditions were difficult with strong and gusty winds. I was very pleased to grind out a great round early in the year. The second round was a tough break having to play in the afternoon. The morning conditions were very mild while the afternoon was strong winds and periods of hard rain. I hit the ball better in the second round but wasn't able to get anything going with a 2 over 74. Thursday night and into Friday morning produced some of the hardest rains I have ever experienced. Areas around the golf course received up to 10 inches of rain in just 3 hours. Unfortunately that lead to the golf course being under water forcing the tournament officials to shorten the event to 36 holes. I am dissapointed I didn't get a chance to move up the leaderborad on the weekend but I am pleased with the way I played in the first event of the year. I got the first cut out of the way so now I can go out and continue to build on the momentum gained in Houma. I am heading to Lake Charles, Louisiana in the morning and will play a practice round on Monday and then the Pro Am on Tuesday. The tournament begins on Wednesday so stay tuned to the Adams Tour Website for scoring updates:

Season Set To Begin Next Week

The 2009 season has finally arrived! It has been a long and productive off season. I have been able to do some really good work on my swing with Doug Hammer, Director of Instruction at Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale. My short game has also really benefited from the time off. I have been playing some great rounds lately so I am eager to test it out in competition.
I will be driving from Arizona to Louisiana this weekend. A big bonus on the Adams Tour is local housing at several tournaments. Along with a few other players I will be staying with a family that lives near the tournament site in Houma. Local housing is a great way to save some money and avoid a few run down motels along the way. I will keep you updated after the practice rounds, as long as I can find an internet connection. Thanks again for stopping by the site.
