Greeting everyone from Lafayette, Louisiana.  I have a busy schedule upcoming so I'll try my best to unravel my trip as best I can.  I shot an up and down even par 72 today in the Nationwide Monday Qualifier to miss by 4 shots.  I had an uncharacteristic day on the greens missing 3 putts from 3 feet.  At this level, those putts have to be gimmie's and I just didn't convert them.  Those three strokes and a double bogey on a par 3 resulting from digging around in a bunker like I was a kid at the beach never wanting to leave cost me the 4 strokes that seperated me from getting in the event and me flying to Hickory, North Carolina tomorrow.  I keep telling you this game is puzzling me here of late because I am doing alot of things right, but every round there seems to be one ingriedient missing, whether it be putting, driving, iron play, chipping, etc.  You can get away with doing most things well and a few things average, but if one of those "ingriedients" is poor, it more than likely is going to hurt your scorecard.  I need to get all parts working simultaneously at the average level every time I play at the very least.  That is what leads to steady, consistent scores.  Well the circus continues three days from now with my plan B for the week now becoming my plan A.  The Hooters event in NC will start on Thursday.  I am staying at my cousin's home just 5 minutes from the course so this week should be unique and be nice to get out of the hotel routine for a few days.  After the tournament concludes Sunday, I will be flying to Atlanta for the next week's Hooters event on the far outskirts of the city.  With the Monday Qualifier finished think of my travel as like a rectangle that eventually gets me back to where I started. Orlando-->Lafayette, LA-->Hickory, NC-->Atlanta, GA-->Orlando.  It's about time I sandwiched some good golf in between those Orlando's!  Today wasn't what we were looking for, but like I said let's build on this and get all the parts working simultaneouly so that I have to check another bag at the airline counter.  When they ask me what it is, I want to say, "Oh that's my oversized winners check for $30,000 I just won!  I guess its only going to be worth $29,950 after you ungrateful people charge me for luggage."
