No Wind @ Southwind
As the title of this post indicates, we had another eerily calm day on the course. The name of the course is Southwind CC for crying out loud. That name explains it all. The course was very soft, and with the calm conditions it was a low score happy hour out there all day. I struggled and never felt comfortable with an iron in my hand all day, but scrapped it around with pretty solid putting and put up a three under par 68 to make the cut on the number. I made a 30 footer on 18 to play the weekend. I'll tell you the strides I have made over the last couple years. My first year as a professional, I think I made 1 out of my 10 cuts for the season on the Hooters Tour. Today, on my final putt of the day the cut didn't even register in my mind. I was trying to find a way to convert that putt to not make the cut, but to get one shot closer to the leader. If you play to make the cut, you set yourself up for disaster. You have to play to win, and that is one of many things I have learned that has helped me become a more polished professional. I am taking nothing for granted these last two days, as I know the wind that usually reaks havoc here can come up at any time. For my sake I need some wind, because a challenging course will allow me to gain some ground on the 9 shot margin that seperates me from the top of the board.
