I am in Bentonville, Arkansas this week as mentioned with the Hooters Tour.  Bentonville may ring a bell with some of you because it is the home of Walmart.  Well the 1st two rounds are in the books and I came in with a 1 over par 143 total.  This is my third year playing here and for whatever reason I just have never really put it all together on this layout.  It is a great course that I like, for whatever reason scoring has always been hard for me here.  As of right now it looks like I am going to be taking the weekend off by one shot.  Its crazy how golf can just come down to one shot when I am on the course for a total of 10 hours.  I hit a lot of really nice shots the first two days, which was pleasant after Monday's US Open debacle which was emotionally scarring.  However, I had 4 pathetic three putts that really hurt my scoring and momentum.  A couple of straightforward chip shots that didn't come off the wedge as planned also led to a couple pathetic bogeys that should have been routine pars.  All that adds up and instead of being around 5 under par barring the 3 putts and misfired chips, I am sitting in my room biting my nails looking at missing the cut.  Anyway, thats how it goes some times.  Regardless I head about an hour south from here Sunday to Fort Smith for the Nationwide Monday Qualifier.  This is a welcome relief from a travel stand point.  I am used to flying cross country for these qualifiers and sitting in airports just waiting my turn.  This week I get to make an easy commute from one location to the next.  Hopefully this will help put me in a more relaxed frame of mind and I can go out and play my game.  The older I get the more I have realized for me I play my best golf when I am not rushed and am completely relaxed and calm on the first tee.  This week's travel itinerary affords me just that.  I can't wait to tee it up on Monday and play a great round.  Oh and I have also just started a new working relationship with the clothing company Fairway and Greene, which I will be supporting on the course here for the rest of the season.  They year in and year out have put together some great collections and I look forward to playing great in their line from here on out in 2010.  Update soon!
