Well I feel like its Ground Hogs Day.  Every post of late has been what could have been.  I try to be positive on here, but when you are not shooting good scores I'm not going to be politically correct and say "Oh Golly gee I may not have played well today, but I sure tried my hardest and had a fun time doing it!"  I'm freaking tired of shooting crappy scores.  I was 3 under par today thru 4 holes in go figure, brutal conditions once again. (trust me I'm getting used to playing in hard conditions this winter)  It looks like the number today is going to be 3 under.  I was right on the number with 14 holes to go.  I could have pared in and I would have made it.  The wind was blowing a steady 20MPH and gusting to 30MPH.  The greens were fast and firm.  All that equates to extremely hard conditions.  I had an absolute freakin' strangle hold on this qualifier out of the box.  It was mine for the taking, however I threw it right away with a series of chunked pitch shots and two foul balls OB on my inward holes.  What does this all mean.  It means I have to once again regroup, figure out why I did what I did and go out and be stronger and better for it the next time.  It's hard to do that sometimes when in the back of your mind you know you really let a golden opportunity slip by the wayside.  The reality of it is there is not one thing I can do now that changes what I did.  I can sulk, which I'm currently doing now, but I got to pick myself up and make it next time.  I believe that if you give yourself enough opportunities and believe in yourself, you will inevitably conquer whatever demons it is you have and ultimately triumph.  Why I can't put together 18 holes in these qualifiers lately is beyond me, but I know I am hitting enough quality shots each round to get it done.  I head to Lafayette, LA on Sunday afternoon for the 1st Nationwide Qualifier of the year.  The Nationwide allocates 14 spots each week as opposed to 4 with the PGA Tour, so you traditionally don't have to shoot quite as low.  I'm going to lick my wounds, practice hard this week and do a better job of remaining calm under fire next week.  If I get it going low next time, I will be ready to keep making birdies and finish it off properly.  I can only be held down for so long.
