Missing By 1

I hate those words. On Tuesday I played in the Byron Nelson Pre-Qualifier. I had an up and down round going but was doing a great job of grinding out a decent score. Unfortunately that was all wasted after a double bogey on the final hole to miss getting into the Monday Qualifier by a shot, 73:+1. Next the Adams Tour event in Thackerville, OK. The wind was howling during the first round and I put together a very solid one over 73. Today I went out in pretty calm conditions and hit the ball really well. Unfortunately I closed with two bogeys on the last nine holes to miss the cut by a shot, 73/73: +2. The good news is that I am hitting the ball really well. My chipping has really improved and I feel good standing over the putter. I'm just not getting the ball in the hole as quickly as I should be. All I can do is keep plugging away and hope the ball falls in love with the hole again, and quickly. Next up is US Open local qualifying on Tuesday and another Adams Tour event in Fort Worth Wednesday through Saturday. Thanks for stopping by the site.
