Sorry it has been awhile since I last updated. I have been busy playing. I ended up making the cut in St. Louis for the Hooters event and was unable to really get anything going all week. It was a good sign that what I would call poor golf at least cashed me a check for the week. From there I headed over to Evansville, Indiana for the next week's Hooters tournament. I did not get the memo that it would require 27 under par for the week to win. I shot 71-72 and missed the cut by a country mile. I flew into Maryland a few days later to attempt a Nationwide Monday qualifier. I struggled mightily and never sniffed qualifying. That was a short day and a half and I flew home and continued working on improving. This past Monday I attempted another Monday qualifier, this time for the PGA Tour St. Jude Classic. Once again my golf game didn't show up with me at the first tee. I shot 76 and wasn't even close to qualifying. My playing partner did however make it, so it was at least nice to witness in person how to qualify for a PGA Tour event. It just takes steady play and a few putts to drop. I am currently in Baton Rouge, LA for an Adams event that starts tomorrow. The key for me personally this week will be playing the par 3's well, which I have not been doing lately. The other key will be picking specific targets off the tee. The course is wide open, so I want to make sure not to get lazy swinging the driver. I need to hit to specific targets and I will be able to score from there. I have been doing a lot of things just a little bit wrong and it has been adding up lately. My practice sessions going into this tournament have been precise and positive. I am looking forward to a good week and getting back on the right foot with a swing of momentum coming my way after a good week. I will be qualifying for the Nationwide Fort Smith Classic next Monday. I would like to put together 4 good rounds this week to give me the confidence I need to get through next Monday. Keep you posted
