Hello from Hartford, Connecticut.  I have been up in the New England area since last Tuesday and have had quite an eventful weekend passing time between the PGA Tour Travelers Championship pre qualifier and Monday qualifier which is taking place tomorrow.  I breezed through the pre qualifier last Wednesday with a 73 and headed 2 hours down the road to Boston and spent four nights with a great friend of mine Dan Costigan.  My first night in Boston the Bruins won the Stanley Cup and the whole city was out to watch it.  We had a great time.  On Friday I was fortunate enough to play at a golf course called Myopia Hunt Club.  It is in the picture above and is ranked as the 32nd best Classic course in America.  What a treat that was to play.  Friday night Dan and I took in a game at Fenway.  What a special place for baseball fans and you could just feel the history oozing out of the park.  As an avid sports fan this was definitely something I was excited to check off the bucket list.  Finally to round out my weekend in Boston we went to the parade that the city had for the Bruins for winning the Stanley Cup.  It seemed like the whole city once again was out and everyone was so passionate and excited to be there.  It could not have been a better last four days and it was great to take it all in.
    Getting back to business, tomorrow is going to be a great day for me.  I had a quality practice round today and put together a wonderful game plan on how to attack Gillette Ridge Country Club.  I have the greens completely mapped out and know the exact shots I need to hit tomorrow in order to be successful.  I am excited about the way I am hitting the ball and truly believe tomorrow is going to offer me up a great reward as long as I can play my game, walk with confidence, believe in myself from start to finish, and finally have patience.  I tee off at 8:27 am tomorrow and look forward to updating everyone with some great news.  Thanks for reading.
