Hello from Garden City.  I have played three rounds of golf thus far in the Adams Tour event here in Kansas and it has been up and down.  Yeserday I played a really good round of 67 to get myself back in contention heading into the weekend, but today I let all the hard work slip away with a 75.  To be honest today I am really pretty mad at myself for the lack of mental discipline I had going.  The final two rounds of this tournament I play with four amateur partners and I let the format put me in a bad mood.  I had to put up with a 5 hour round of golf with amateurs that really don't know the ins and outs of professional golf.  This is one of the outside distractions that I knew going into the week I would have to deal with head on.  I had a terrible 8th hole today that derailed my round and I took a triple bogey.  For the next 6 holes I let my guard down and I was totally in a bad mood about everything about today.  I have to be better than that. 
    This is my fourth year as a pro and my fourth year playing in this tournament.  By now you would think I would be mature enough to handle what comes with playing in a pro-am.  It is something I have to do only a handful of times each year, but tomorrow I am not going to let the little things that go along with this format bother me.  Tomorrow is going to be a great day and I am going to get back to the right frame of mind.  After tomorrow I head to Springfield, Missouri to qualify for the Nationwide event at Highland Springs.  As most of you remember in 2009 I came within 2 shots of winning the tournament, so it all starts Monday at the qualifier where I look to build on what I accomplished there two years ago.  First and foremost though, tomorrow I am going to act more like the 26 year old that I am, and play a polished, professional round and get the momentum going for a GREAT week in Springfield next week.
