Well, its been a long couple of weeks. I just never got it going out there in Brooksville and failed to get my Canadian Tour card by 5 shots. I shot a solid two under my last round but couldn't make up enough ground to get where I needed. From there I flew into New Orleans to try and Monday Qualify for the first Nationwide event of the year on American soil. I shot a one over 73 and also missed getting through that qualifier. I flew home and entered the Ocala Open just north of Orlando for a 4 day event. I got off to a sluggish start this past Monday with a one over 73. The second round could not have gotten off to a better start. For the first 11 holes I didn't miss a shot and was 3 under for the day with several lip outs. For whatever reason on the next two holes I made a pair of the worst swings with the driver that I have in a long while and had two balls out of bounds. I went from being far inside the cut line to the outside looking in. A 75 at days end put me 4 off the cut line and scratching my head. Looking back on the past couple months I have not had the results I have been looking for, but I am headed in the right direction. Swing wise I have made some solid changes that in the long run will be very beneficial. I just got back from Bay Hill yesterday. I had the great pleasure of watching a good friend James Nitties for 18 holes. It wasn't but just last year that he was grinding it out on the Hooters Tour with me. I kept looking inside the ropes and visualizing myself being right there next year. Keeping positive, visualizing, and working hard are the key ingredients to doing just that. I am off for a couple weeks before I head back to New Orleans for the Monday qualifier in New Orleans for the PGA Tour. From there I head to my old home state of Texas for a couple of weeks where I will compete in two Adams Tour events. I am looking forward to some needed rest after the cluster of competitive rounds I have strung together the past few weeks!!

Hey guys. I had a nice time in Puerto Rico. I feel very lucky that my golf has taken me to such great places. I unfortunately had a short week by shooting an 80 at the Monday qualifier. I struggled on my front nine with speed control and had 4 three putts on the ultra tricky paspalum greens. This grass surface is extremely rare, and it took its toll on me this round. I registered a 10 on my 16th hole of the day which really put a damper on the day. Other than the 4 three putts and real big number on 16 I played solid. The wind blew real hard making scores soar. I am currently in Brooksville, Florida for the Canadian Tour Qualifying. I shot a 75 today and have some work to do the final 3 days. My practice sessions the past two weeks could not have gone any better, so I am really looking forward to posting 3 great rounds to finish up my week here in Brooksville. I know the Canadian Tour is a great place to hone my game to the next level due to the parallels it has to the PGA Tour. The key for me is to not get ahead of myself this week, and everything will fall directly into place.

I am back in America after a hectic couple of weeks. My first tournament since my last blog entry resulted in a missed cut by one shot at Rock Springs Ridge February 17th-18th. I shot rounds of 73 and 71. I honestly didn't play that bad, but just could not get the ball in the hole. I made a lot of good putts that burned a ton of edges. From there I scurried on down to Mexico to try my hand at the Monday qualifier south of the border. I ended up shooting a 1 under 71 to miss qualifying by 3 shots. Again I was close, but was just plain and simply not rewarded for my efforts. My story from that week began with my commute to the golf course. Due to a language barrier, the shuttle driver took me to the wrong course on Monday morning. Long story short I made my tee time with 1 minute to spare. It was very unfortunate that I paid all that money to travel down to Mexico, spend all the time preparing as hard as I could to shoot a good round, and have this misfortune strike me at the last minute. I was actually satisfied I was able to come out and actually get in contention late to qualify even with this black cloud that surrounded me. I got back to America via Miami, Florida and drove all through the night back to Orlando to begin the Hooters Tour Championship this past Tuesday morning on February 24th. I played a sluggish opening round due to being exhausted and shot a 74. The second round began much better as I was 1 under with 4 holes to play. I was struggling to get into contention, but was directly on the cut line. Unfortunately for me I made an uncommitted swing on my 15th hole of the day due to lack of trust and hit one out of bounds. I needed to play the next three holes in three under and forced the issue and made another huge number on the next hole and that was the end of that tournament for me. Looking back on the last few weeks is difficult in the respect that I can take an honest look at my game and tell you I am seriously playing well, but have got nothing to show for it. Luckily in my profession, there is always next week. For me this means a week of preparation here in Orlando before I head off on Saturday for Puerto Rico to try another PGA Tour Monday Qualifier. My game is good, I just need to trust in my ability one shot at a time. I really am hoping I can update my blog next Monday and let you all know that I will be spending a week in the big leagues in beautiful Puerto Rico.
