Hello from just north of Houston, Texas.  I last left you from Port Saint Lucie, Florida.  I finished the second round of the NGA Tour event with a 75, but my ball striking was much better.  I headed home for a week and a half to catch my breath and get ready for this week in Texas.  While I was home I was able to meet with my sports psychologist Jason Selk.  We were able to reinforce several elements in my game.  We really stressed getting unattached from results by zeroing in on the process of how to get there.  This hasn't changed in the least over the past several months.  1) Have FUN 2) Have a RSF (relentless solution focus) of 10 out of 10 each day 3) Fully trust and believe in my game plan.
    At home over the last week and a half I was also able to really simplify my mechanics.  I turned my attention back to the basics and focused my attention on rhythm and grip pressure.  This has helped my ball striking exponentially and has made making a great swing all the more easier by not having too many swing thoughts under the gun.  The first round of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament starts for me tomorrow at Deerwood Golf Club in Kingwood, Texas.  I have spent the last two days getting a great game plan in order and finding my bearings out there.  I feel ready to go out there over the next four days and play golf to the best of my ability.  I can remember like it was yesterday when I was very young, the first big junior event I ever played in.  It was in Kingwood, Texas at a sister course to the one I am playing this week.  I remember the butterflies I had on the first tee, and when the tournament concluded I can remember standing behind the 18th green with my Mom and Dad and rehashing how much fun I had that week.  It all comes full circle, and I can assure you that at the end of this week I look forward to having that same feeling of excitement at the conclusion of play.  Golf is a game and it is one I am blessed to have discovered.  It's my passion and I still get that youthful feeling of exuberance every day.  By keeping it simple I can discover my full potential.  Thanks for reading and it's going to be a great week of competition.  I'll keep you posted!
