3rd Round

79-

Tough day out there on the links. At least I can putt though- I made some great putts for birdie and to save par- but unfortunately the cut was +10 and I was +19 for the 3 days. ! I learned a lot this week- worked on my mental game- (like trying to play slower and think through the difficult/trouble shots better) I am really looking forward to spring with my new confident putting stroke!

1st and 2nd Rounds

80, 76-
Shot 80 at Huntington Hills on Tuesday- The front nine was ok- 1 over- Then play slowed down, lost my focus and the bogeys added up. It seemed as if I lipped out every putt on the back.

Then the tables turned and I shot 76 today with only 26 putts at Schalamar Creek. Played the front nine at 1 under, I was feeling awesome, made a great 15 foot saving par putts on number 9 and 11. But I made two bad swings to cause two double bogeys on the back. Other than that I played awesome and pretty much made every putt I looked at. Some days it just feels good!

On another note I ran into two old friends from college golf, Kelly Cramp and Susan Choi. Kelly actually is a golf pro at Schalamar- and Susan is also playing in Q School! The three of us pretty much played against each other every weekend in college- it was really nice to catch up with them!

eagle!!

I had an eagle on the 1st hole of my practice round today! 1st hole at Cleveland Heights I had about 160 yards to the pin, hit a great second shot, it felt pretty good and I guess it was! My second shot on the par four, hit the green and rolled right in!!

I tee off at 8:10 tomorrow at Huntington Hills

Turtles and Tee -Shots! Q-School Lakeland, FL November 6-9

Tuesday is the first day of our Qualifying Tournament for the Futures Tour 2008 Season. I have been in Lakeland for 2 days now playing practice rounds. The tournament is over 4 days, 3 days and then a cut. we will be playing 3 different golf courses over the 3 days! Tomorrow I will play my last practice round, work on some putting and then settle in for a long 4 days of tournament golf! Luckily the weather is supposed to be beautiful!

I will keep everyone posted of my progress!


The turtle in the picture was caught teeing off on the 2nd tee box at Schalamar Creek during a practice round!

Jupiter Dunes

My friends and I have discovered one of the best kept secrets in Jupiter- Jupiter Dunes GOlf Club. Jupiter Dunes is a par 3 course with the longest hole measuring a long 165 yards! Last week I played Jupiter Dunes 3 days- it was great practice for Q-School. With a tropical depression off the coast of Florida which brought high winds and rain, playing a short course was right!

Hopefully the gang and I will make the Jupiter Dunes Open a weekly tournament!
