I just finished up my tournament at Southern Dunes. I ended up finishing in 44th position and pocketed $600 for the tournament. The only problem is the entry fee for the tournament is $800 so you can do the math. It was a frustrating final round where I started the final round in 14th place in great position to really have a strong finish. Unfortunately I played the par 5's the last day in two over and got absolutely lapped. It was unfortunate because the first two rounds I was 4 under and was really hitting it solid. To be honest the 1st two rounds were annoying as well because I hit it so much better and should have been more like 10 under if I hadn't made some STUPID mistakes. What I can take from this week though is an arsenal of remarkably quality shots that can go into the memory bank for confidence. I have a good friend named Jay Woodson who is also a professional golfer. Jay has a voice from God. I tell him all the time that he could realistically win American Idol. We have another good friend that can play the acoustic guitar. Well Jay is a really good improv singer where he can just feel the beat and make up lyrics as he goes along. In the Winter of 2007, with the help from our other friend strumming the guitar, he sang a song he is famous for called the "Hooters Winter Series $600 check". This is the check that goes to all players who make the cut and finish 40th or higher. Well I can laugh about that today because I just lived it! Sometimes you have to be able to laugh at yourself or life just wouldn't be all that interesting. Well that wraps up my 2009. Still looking for my maiden victory in the professional ranks. I have a real good feeling that I will get that 1st trophy hoist in 2010. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season and I will touch base in early January. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping me live my dream.
