Well, I got what I asked for.  Birdies.  The first round of the Waterloo Open yesterday I made 8 birdies in my round!  A three hole bad stretch didn't allow me to go as low as I needed, and I settled for a 4 under par 68.  Today I shot a steady 69.  I made my first bogey of the day today on the last hole to end my round on a sour note, but I played consistent.  There were 5 par 5's on this course all reachable with iron, and I unfortunately like Cincinati did not fully take advantage of them this weekend and this is what seperated me between winning and finishing T25th like I did.  Still, this is exactly what I needed, an easy course like this to shock my system back into shooting two nice scores that have gone against my boring trend of 70s I had been shooting.  I am ready for my summer now to really get cooking.  I have been knocking on the door so long now, my knuckles are beginning to bleed.  However, today I felt the deadbolt on the door begin to give way.  I head tomorrow to Greensboro, NC for a Tarheel Tour event.  I'll let you in on a little story as to why this week could be very special.  As you know, last year I had a great finish in the Nationwide Springfield event.  The winner of this week's Tarheel event gets a sponsor exemption into Springfield.  I feel like I got kinda hosed on not getting a spot into this year's Springfield event, so I am out to gain my spot back in this year's field on my own merit.  If it doesn't work out this week, I still have a great chance via the Monday Qualifier in a few weeks to get in so don't be too nervous for me.  On top of that my neighbor back in St. Louis, Trevor Dodds who is also a professional golfer, won the 1998 PGA Tour Greensboro Open at Forest Oaks.  This is the same course we are playing this week on the Tarheel Tour.  If I win, there can be two winners on Camberwell Drive in Saint Louis that have hoisted trophies from Forest Oaks CC.  What a story that would be!  My game is here and ready to win, now I just need to go out and trust it and execute.
