06/20/10 - On the Road at the US Open - Day 2

06/18/10 - On the Road at the US Open

My trip was very spontaneous.  I hadn’t made the decision to make the 750+ mile trek from Woodburn to Monterrey until the day before the Open.  In many ways, I probably shouldn’t have gone.

12/31/09 - My Big Break Experience - The Finale

From what I heard from the fans that approach me, I think almost everyone was surprised at who was in the finale—with the exception of Tony.  Let’s face it, the two guys that seemed to be up for elimination the most were Kevin and Mike.  But each time they were just good enough to make it through to the next show.   That’s really what this show was all about.  It wasn’t necessarily one the discovers the guy with the best raw skills and talent…because competitive golf is more than that.  Its also about how well you manage your game on the course and how well you handle pressure.    Handling pressure is the key in this show.

11/08/09 - My Big Break Experience - The Lob Wall

The wall itself was about 12-feet high and we we hitting from about 15-feet from the front of the wall.  The net on the other side was about 8-feet in diameter and was only 10-feet from the back of the wall.  There was so little room for error. It seemed the best approach was to clear the wall with as little room to spare as possible otherwise there was little chance to hit the net.

I made the cut after the fourth round in the Duramed Futures Tour Qualifier here in Lakeland, Florida, and after having a good first three rounds, today was a bit of a different story. I hung in all day and finished with a 78, good enough to make the cut, putting me in the final round tomorrow, played at Lake Region Golf Club.
