Hello from Columbia, South Carolina.  Last week in Augusta finished just fine.  I had a closing 68 to finish in 21st place and take a bunch of momentum with me moving forward.  I spent the weekend in Pinehurst, North Carolina charting my 1st stage Q School site at Pinewild Country Club.  The course suits my game well and it was great to get an early peek at what is in store come late October.  Today was the first round of the Hooters event in Columbia and I struggled today to an even par 72.  The course is yielding a bunch of birdie opportunities, but I didn't get my approach shots close enough, missed a few short putts, and had a couple errant drives.  Add all of that inconsistency up and it spells trouble.  What I did do well today was play the four par 5's in five under par and I closed my round with an eagle on my last hole to regain a bit of what I had lost during the day.  My hopes are that I can let that last hole fuel me into tomorrow and that I can tidy up my gameplan and really piece together a great round of golf on Friday.  Today was not great, but I have a lot of golf ahead of me tomorrow to make a solid run in the right direction.  Keep you posted.
