    I'm sitting in a Houlihan's in Springfield, MO trying to wrap my head around the realization that I will not be competing in the Nationwide event this week in my home state. I had to withdraw today not because I quit but because I had one hole remaining as the rules officials took us back off the course for the second time due to weather delays. Rather than wait around several more hours to play one hole of golf where I was far away from qualifying, I decided to WD and move along to Arkansas to get ready for an Adams Tour event that starts Wednesday. I actually was playing well most of the day, but right before we got called in the first time for weather I hit a shot on 12 out of bounds on a shot that wasn't that bad. The out of bounds is everywhere on Millwood CC and it got the best of one shot of mine today by a foot. If that ball stays in play I would have been in great shape to get back on track. I was one under at the time and had to settle for bogey. Anyway it stings right now knowing I didn't get "invited to the party" so to speak. I'm going to move forward with my head high. I fully intend to play great in Rogers, Arkansas this week. I have no time to dwell on the past. Here is to a week of good golf, healthy eating, and productive workouts. As long as I keep controlling what I can control and maintain a positive, confident attitude I soon will reach my potential. Thanks for reading.
