The Beginning

Well it seems I have finally got myself situated down here in Houston. I arrived Last week and have made a few strides in getting myself comfortable. The past few days have been absolutely amazing golf weather and I have found myself out at the golf course just enjoying the weather and having a few fun rounds with my old teammates. My practice will be done predominantly at the Cypresswood Golf Club in Humble TX. It's a great facility with 3 courses. The Director here has allowed me to play and practice as much as I would like.
Sunday I played at the Redstone Tournament Course (which is where the Shell Houston open is held) and will be speaking with the Head pro there to see what kind of coaching he might be able to provide. However, Today I was introduced to a guy who is living here with a family near that course and is playing in the Adams Tight Lies Tour and intends on going to Q school for the Canadian Tour. He is a strong player from Ireland and it seems he and I will be practicing a lot together in the next couple months. In my mind this will be a great thing for me as I will have someone in the exact same mind set as I am. This will for sure increase my practice productivity and makes the decision of finding a "pro" to be with me for practice sessions a little difficult as this new "teammate" in a sense may be exactly wwhat I'm looking for.
I've been seeing some good things in my game already although there is definetly a bunch of rust to wear off. This next week I will be spending a lot of time on the range and will be developing a strong schedule that I will be able to follow throughout the year.
The next few days look very promising with weather being sunny and in the 70's right till next week. Sorry to rub it in for those of you shovelling the driveway each day. Look forward to more posts, the drive to Q School has begun and I will keep you posted all along the way.
