68 today in the Monday qualifier. I played great but missed qualifying by one shot. Monday qualifying is both humbling and rigorous. No one there wants to be there but you have to do it to give yourself a chance. It is alot like going to the dentist. I had a nice 5 hour drive tonight to think about what is going on in my game right now. I am playing some great golf and thinking well on the course most all of the time. The one area of my game I have got to improve on is my ability to really keep the gas pedal down when I'm playing well. Every golfer out there reading this has a scoring threshold that you often can struggle getting under. The more I thought about that tonight the word threshold should be completely irrelevant to me. I need to do a better job of playing each shot for what it is worth and quit worrying about the ramifications each shot has whether good or bad. If I'm 4 under par thru 8 holes for example, there should be ZERO part of me that should start smiling inside and seeing a nice 4 under par 68 in my head as I sign my scorecard. At that point I have 10 holes left to keep my head to the ground and make as many more birdies possible. I have the next 6 days at home in St. Louis to work on this mental discipline that is soon going to get me over the hump. I have the absolutely best practice tool to help this new thought pattern. I am going to play several rounds this week from the ladies tee. It will be very easy to get WAY under par and I will get comfortable sustaining my good play as I make a bunch of birdies. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm getting really close to where I need to be. I head Sunday to Omaha, Nebraska for another Nationwide qualifier. I plan on being ready mentally to take it low and be in no way scared to do so. Thanks for reading.
