    Hello from Boise, Idaho.  I am currently waiting to tee off in the 1st round of the Albertsons Boise Open this week on the Nationwide Tour.  Boy that has a nice ring to it.  I tee it today in the last group of the day at 2:55pm off the 10th tee.  Having played here in 2007 in my pro debut I have good memories of Hillcrest Country Club, and am going to use that course knowledge this week to my advantage.  It is not a course that needs to be overpowered.  It is a classic, old golf course with healthy, large trees guarding the fairways, so accuracy is key to giving yourself a good chance to play the holes correctly.  I have been playing great golf over the past few weeks, so I am looking forward to carrying on that form this week.  My game plan is to just be myself.  I want to play my game, and not worry about one thing anyone else is doing this week.  Sometimes it is easy to get wrapped up in how badly I want to perform at the highest level and that can hinder me.  Yesterday in the pro am, one of my amateurs had to be taken away in an ambulance mid round after a fluke accident in the cart that left his upper arm severly bruised.  It is these kind of things that quickly put in check that on the big scheme of things golf isn't all that important.  With that being said, I really am ready this week to put my best foot forward starting today and see where that takes me at weeks end.  Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted.
