After a week of rain delays, the tournament ended fittingly. The event was canceled because we couldn't complete two full rounds. So, I was in Gainesville, GA for a week for nothing essentially. I got out of town luckily with my entry fee in my back pocket. I head home finally to Saint Louis for much needed week off after being on the road for a month. This was by far my longest stint traveling continuously since I have turned pro. I learned some useful information about the state of my game. I was playing to be perfect for the vast majority of my rounds. As I previously stated I could string together 5 consecutive holes for instance without missing a shot, but as soon as I hit an imperfect shot I came unraveled. Golf is about staying level headed and accepting the outcome. Getting frustrated with poor shots is so silly looking back on it. That's why golf invented the wedge. So that you can save par when you miss the green. My constant search for the perfect shot wore me out and put me on edge the moment I missed my target. Moving forward this next week I am going to keep the game in perspective and get myself ready to play with a calm demeanor that rolls with the punches regardless of the quality of execution. One shot at a time, with a specific game plan. If I do that I will be able to accept the results. More than likely those results will be great if I follow those guidelines. Thanks for reading. One month down. Plenty learned and gained. Forward we go.
