2016 is here and so am I! I've had a great offseason to reset, refocus, reenergize, and rest.  I last left off with my season winding down with a Monday qualifier for the PGA Tour event in Jackson, Mississippi.  I went into the pre qualifier with one focus which was to eliminate the left side of the golf course.  Low and behold I won the pre qualifier with a 65!  The Monday qualifier didn't go as well as I struggled to a 75 where my ball striking and putting didn't produce what I was looking for.  I was extremely encouraged by my new work and the results spoke for themselves.

     It was poor timing where I wish I could have swapped the 65 in the actual Monday qualifier, but I got some tangible results that proved I'm headed down the right path!  2015 may have been a lost year in terms of results, but I'm strongly encouraged that I have found the right recipe for success moving forward.  In 2015 I won 3 one day events/qualifiers.  I can call these "mini" tournaments.  They happened to be at the very beginning of the season and very end of the season where I worked on one idea of eliminating the left side of the course.  I lost that concept through the majority of the year, but at the end of the year evaluation it was easy to see what produced the best results!

    So 2016 is here and I'm extremely refreshed and excited about what lies ahead.  I finally have resounding confidence that my system in place is the right one.  Through trial and error in my golf laboratory I feel I have what I need moving forward to produce consistent results day in and day out through focusing on eliminating the left side.  I also have partnered with a new equipment company!  Cleveland/Srixon has agreed to help me out for 2016.  It's great to have their support and belief in me and I'm excited to put their expertise and knowledge toward my advantage.

    My upcoming schedule is similar to last year.  I head to Orlando, Florida next week to get a week of training/competition in before heading to PGA Tour Latin America Q School.  This year I will be competing in Bogota, Colombia January 26th-29th.  I have had a mild winter here in Saint Louis that has given me ample time to practice both on the course and the range.  I feel next week I will be able to further refine and get ready for Colombia.  Big things lie in store this year and I look forward to improving each and every day.  I hope you stay here to follow along on my journey to the PGA Tour.  I'm going to get there.  Thanks for your support in me!
