The first round of the NGA Tour event in Gainesville, Georgia is in the books for me.  I shot an even par 71.  I hit the ball remarkably well all day, but just could not find a way to get my irons real close to the hole.  The difference between birdie putts from 10 feet and 20 feet on these quick greens translates into forced lag putts and a bunch of pars.  I made an extremely clumsy bogey on my 17th hole, the easiest hole on the course.  I was one under on my round, and hit it just over the green in two on this par 5.  It took me 4 heavy handed shots to get the ball in the hole from there and I limped away with a bogey.  If I take away that momentary laps in my round, I would have been right where I needed to be.  I'll take away a lot of great things from today, and look forward to going out tomorrow afternoon and playing my game.  My theme tomorrow is going to be start to finish.  By this I mean, I need to be 100 percent all in from the first tee shot to the last putt on 18.  I really do feel great about my game, so tomorrow I expect my score to reflect exactly how I feel about the strides I am making.  Stay tuned...
