I have three more events to report to you about.  I headed to Marshall, Minnesota for a Dakotas Tour event right after Waterloo.  I shot 74-73 to miss the cut by a pretty wide margin.  I just wasn't comfortable on the course with the changes that were taking place.  I headed straight from there to my old college alma matter in Columbia, Missouri for the Missouri Open.  A disappointing 79-74 once again left me short of playing the final round.  It was heartbreaking to not even make the cut in a tournament that I lost in a playoff a couple years ago in my old college town nonetheless.  What I took away from the week was some really good range work.  The second round, I finally felt comfortable on the course for an extended period of time.  I turned my front nine in 2 under par, but fell back into old patterns on my back nine for a poor finish.  I was in Omaha, Nebraska yesterday for the Web.com qualifier.  I was well off the mark with an uncompetitive 73 that left me 7 shots shy of qualifying.  On paper it looks like I am nowhere near close to being where I need to be from a results standpoint, but I am feeling more and more comfortable on the course as each day passes.  I have been keeping detailed statistics the second half of the year.  One stat I keep is how many shots I hit inside 15 feet each round.  Yesterday, I had 5.  This tied my highest mark in the past two months.  Now down the road, this needs to get better obviously, but this was one sign that pointed in the right direction.  I birdied my last two holes yesterday which felt good, and allowed me to be encouraged that I fought all the way to the end regardless of whether I was still in contention in the qualifier. 
    I have the rest of the week back home in Saint Louis to keep practicing hard on what I am working on.  I really want to make it a point that my practice is extremely focused and done with an exact purpose.  I have an extremely busy August.  I will be playing in the next 3 Web.com qualifiers, starting next Monday in Springfield, Missouri.  I played really well there in 2009, so it would be so sweet to get back in the starting field.  To do this, I have to keep my mind off the results, and put all my attention to detail in the process of getting there one shot at a time, with a specific game plan on each swing.  I have a plan B to play in one Adams Tour event and 3 NGA Tour events over the next four weeks, so regardless, I will be on the road the next month playing in a bunch of 4 day events.  I know that I am feeling more and more comfortable with the changes in my golf swing, now it is up to me to trust the changes and go out there and play fearlessly and realize that I have put in an immense amount of time to be successful in my profession.  I love how things are coming along.  The results on paper haven't improved, but I have wiped my slate clean and know that I am going to start producing some great results.  My practice is showing signs that it is really close and that gets me excited.  Follow here for an exciting next month on the road.  It's going to be a great one.
