Well. I have a lot to report. Let's start from the finish to the Tarheel event in Greensboro. I put the game into neutral on the weekend and coasted in unfortunately to a seven under par total. I played the last 36 in even par and spiraled down the leaderboard. From there I flew to Omaha for the Nationwide Monday Qualifier. I had an unfortunate circumstance occur. American Airlines lost my luggage so I didn't have my clubs. At the 11th hour both figuratively and literally my clubs arrived. At 11pm Sunday night, the night before the event, my clubs came in. I was worried, but I had my clubs to give myself a realistic chance. I shot a 3 under par 67 and missed by 2 shots. I played well all day, just missed 2 too many putts and that was the difference. I have been frustratingly close the last handfull of qualifiers, but I know my time is coming soon. I am writing in fact from Verona, New York at this week's PGA Tour Turning Stone Monday Qualifier. Yesterday, as we have the weekend off before the Monday qualifier, my friends and I went to Cooperstown, NY and took in the Baseball Hall of Fame. If you have never been, go. If you have, consider yourself fortunate to see one of the neatest landmarks in all of sports. Anyway, on the golf front, I successfully navigated through the pre qualifier with an unmotivated 74 where I knew at the beginning of the day basically all I needed was a pulse to get through to Monday where 50 of the 68 contestants advanced. My game is really coming along. What I am most excited about is the venue we will be qualifying at Monday. It is without a doubt the best course I have played in 2010. It goes completely against the grain of your typical Monday Qualifier course which sets up extremely easy and you have to go out and shoot in the mid 60's to get through. It won't be like that Monday I can nearly promise. It is a remarkably challenging course that I can't wait to go out and tame Monday and earn my spot into my first PGA Tour event in my professional career. It's all about execution and I feel ready to go out and finally paint that masterpiece of a round on the Turning Stone canvas.
