Hello from the mecca of golf: Augusta, Georgia.  We are playing golf this week at Mount Vintatge Plantation in North Augusta.  While it may not be the golf tournament in Augusta I dreamed of as a kid, it is a great tournament being played this week on the Hooters Tour.  As the above picture indicates, every move we make out here on the Hooters Tour is preparing us for the future when we compete in front of the bright lights of the PGA Tour.  Playing in Augusta only reinforces that even more.  Three rounds of golf are in the books and I currently sit in a tie for 32nd place at seven under par with one round remaining tomorrow morning.  My first three rounds have all been freakishly similar in the fact that I started off with a bunch of pars, made a bunch of birdies in the middle of my round, and then lost all that momentum coming towards the house with a bunch of pars and a few bogeys. 
    It has been really frustrating this week that I have been on the cusp of really busting out an outstanding round each day and to fall flat as I concluded each round.  I'm going to go out tomorrow with the gas pedal down all day.  I am going to have fun playing the game I love all day and play my brand of golf from start to finish.  Next week we head to Columbia, South Carolina for my final regular season Hooters Tour event of the year.  It's hard to believe how fast this summer has gone.  Looking even further down the road, the week after South Carolina I have an outstanding opportunity awaiting that I am already salivating about.  I will be playing in the Nationwide Tour's Albertsons Boise Open September 15th-18th.  It will be my first PGA Tour sanctioned event in over two years.  It will be broadcasted each evening on The Golf Channel so check your local listings and make sure to follow me on http://www.pgatour.com/ .  Take care and look forward to updating soon.
