Hello from Windsor, North Carolina.  Last week came and went on the NGA Tour and it is time for an update.  I ended up finishing in a tie for 34th place last week in Snow Hill, NC on a course that presented a stern test to each player in the field.  At weeks end, seven under par won the event.  This is about as high a score as I have seen since I have turned pro out here on the NGA Tour, so you can imagine the difficulty that we all faced.  The wind howled and the greens were crusty and fast.  That made for some high scores.  I played steady the first two days, but had too many three putts that set me back.  In the third round, I struggled all day to a 76.  Finally in the last round I got my game in working order and polished off a 70 to jump up the leaderboard.  In summary, had I been able to string together an average third round, I would have been looking at a top 10 finish.  That is why we play four rounds to decide a winner.  It was nice to analyze at week's end that I was just one good round away from really threatening the lead.
    So a new week has arrived.  The course this week actually is a bit tougher layout.  The conditions will more than likely not be as severe as last week, but I would expect scores to once again not be low.  My game really is starting to come together on all facets, and like I said earlier, if I can string together four rounds of golf I strongly believe I can give myself a great chance at doing something great this week.  I was one round away last week, now it's time to go out there and break that door down.  I tee off tomorrow at 7:48am and will be ready to get after it.  I am really excited about having a great week and I look forward to updating you along the way.  Thanks for reading.
