I am back home for the week after a tough end to a couple weeks on the road. After finishing up the Southwest Kansas Pro Am in 19th place and making $1500, I was invigorated and excited to venture to Wichita to try my hand at this week's Nationwide event Monday qualifier. I shot 68, and missed qualifying by one shot once again. I lipped out on my last hole for birdie, which stings even more. I guess I can sum up my luck yesterday to everyone with a humorous story at my expense. As we were waiting on the 14th hole to tee off due to a backup, I went to use the bathroom. It was a small bathroom about 5 X 5 feet. After washing my hands, I went to unlock the door. However, the lock on the door would not turn. It felt like 140 degrees inside, and my life flashed before my eyes. I struggled to open the door for the next 7 minutes as I banged, kicked, and yelled for help. Finally with one final thrust, the lock turned, and out I went. My playing partners were more or less rolling on the ground in laughter. Hey, when its not your day, its not your day. As a chlostrophobic, this was a nightmare unlike any other. I have two Hooters events penciled in for the following two weeks in Alabama and Georgia. I am using this week to recharge the batteries and tighten up a few things with my game. My game is great, and I am looking forward to showcasing that shortly.
