Shell Houston Open : Monday Qualifying 73

Today I finished my round at a +1 73 ... Please don't be fooled. I got off to a boring start hitting all four greens and tapping in each of those 4 putts. I was somewhat upset with not making the putts or even one of them because I spent a lot of time on my putting the last week and yesterday in practice we played 9 holes i made 5 of 7 tries at birdie yesterday to finish 5 under for nine holes. Today I even gave myself a 20 foot birdie putt on hole #4 which is the toughest hole and the toughest pin placement. So a quick recap of what happened today starting after 4 goes like this...

Hole 5 par 5 ... had a 71 yard flip over a bunker and landed 2 yards short on the lip of bunker, chipped it to 3 feet, heavy swinger... and missed. I came back with a birdie on the next and lipped a chip out for eagle on the 7th and tapped in birdie. The par 3 8th i stuck to 12 feet, downhill slight break, i just hit a little too firm, tap in par. Nine I par, Ten I par... The 215 yard par 3 #12 I birdie which was a great birdie and led me to the next par 5 which I lipped out again for eagle (I kid you not ... two lips on chips for eagle) and tap in birdie.

So I'm 3 under through 12 and I hit a great drive down the long 13th, 140 yards... pin right ball was below my feet and I just came out of the shot and it went into the bunker and underneath the lip... i missed par. Up and down for par on 14 par 3 and then another one of my 3 poor shots in scoring position that led to bogey. I had 104 yards into the 15th hole but the wind was blowing hard into my face. I would normally use a 57 degree wedge in that position but because of wind I even went up to a smooth choked down wedge... wind blew and I came up short and didn't get it up and down. So now I was only -1 and I knew that I really needed a miracle now to make it into the tournament. Two putt on the tough 16 for par and then I came to the "easy" 17th... a 318 yard par 4. Usually I would lay up have 100 yards in and a good shot at birdie but in my mind I needed to go eagle eagle finish. So I hit driver with wind blowing back into my face. This shot was a carry completely over water and I found it. I actually found it again on the next hole but I missed clubbed on the next one... the damage was done anyways, I knew I had to get into -5 at least really to have a chance. So I made a 7 there and went to 18 +2 ... I birdied the 18th and there you go a +1 73. In a tournament that round would have been a "disappointing" 69 but really if it wasn't for those three poor shots I made I would have had a serious chance at a spot into the SHO. These things happen and as I see the leader board (and it's not finished as I write) plenty of great players had a real tough time with this hole... At least I can say I didn't just try and come in with a 69 and have everyone say "great score". That would make up for missing the number by 3 or 4. I went for it and was happy how I played... I just wish I could've had those three strokes back. That's the way it is though in these Monday qualifiers... If you look at how the guy who shot 65 (there are 2 at the moment) you will notice they may have made only one mistake... and that's all you really get. When I made it into the Canadian Open I made only one mistake.

So there it is... The conclusion to a 3 month run at improving and chasing my goals. I feel like I have come a long long way from where I was in January and am a firm believer in the idea that i have a great shot at succeeding in this profession. I will be taking the next couple weeks off to go home and visit with friends and family. At that time I will be looking for extra help in sponsorship, so if you are reading this and want to be involved in my pursuit or you know of someone that might be interested please send me an email for details. I will be travelling west in march to make my way to the Canadian Tour Spring Q School... before then I will stop in Calgary to practice with a friend at his course and then onto Vancouver to meet up with Barry on the Canadian Tour. It's not a long way till then and I'm excited for what's to come. It's been a long three months, I worked super hard and the work in paying off. Please keep in touch and keep an eye on the blog ... I'm sure I will be seeing some of you shortly but thanks again for reading and being involved in what I'm doing. It's helped a lot and I will say it again, this is what I want to do and I feel like I'm on the right path.

Shell Houston Open : Monday Qualifying (Preview)

This morning I woke up to hopefully find a tee time for the Monday qualifying coming in a couple days. Finally they are up, 8:10am off the first tee. I'm pretty excited about that because it's the best chance to play under perfect conditions (no wind, smoothest green conditions). As I looked through a day or so ago I noticed the player roster... Frank Licklitter II, Ricky Barnes, Tommy (two gloves) Gainey... I was thinking it was going to be a big time field, lots of strong, seasoned players. Then this morning I see even more... Bob Tway, Colt Knost, Brant Jobe, David Gossett and more.
So seeing that I got excited that I might be able to be paired up with one of these guys... unfortunately I haven't been but I'm still excited to go out and have all putts drop. I've been telling myself I'm due, yesterday I was invited out to the Houston Country Club and dispite 2 putting nearly every green I finished -1. It was unfortunate for my visit the greens had been punched two days prior, sanded and they had let the grass grow... so it was a slow and grainy day on the putting greens. The HCC is a great course and a lovely atmosphere, I had a great conversation with some of the members afterwards who were excited to see my name on the roster for the Shell Houston Open. It's always nice to know people are pulling for you. Which is why coming into Monday I know I have just as good a chance to shoot the low round of the day as an old seasoned veteran on tour, a bunch of US Amateur Champions, and a number of PGA Tour card holders and Nationwide Tour players because as long as the putts fall I will be in teh same position to get in as they are... playing Monday.

And let me tell you, if I do get in I am ready for my performance on the PGA Tour ... again.

Shell Houston Open : Pre Qualifying 72

I am trying to enter into the Shell Houston Open the same way I entered into the field at the Canadian Open, through Monday qualifying. Unlike the Canadian Open, the Shell has a pre qualifier because of the amount of contestants. Yesterday there were 173 players in the field... 50 moving forward. The qualifying will be done at Cypress Tradition Course which just so happens to be the course I played on for years as a collegiate player and the course in which I practice on daily. Through the practice round I could tell the pins where going to be set in the easiest positions the course which gave me an edge as well (Pins are marked by a paint mark the day before, you just have to find it). So if top 50 move forward I knew I really just had to stay calm, take with me what I had learned in the past couple weeks and cruise through this pre qualifying with as little stress as possible. I tell you what if it wasn't the "pre qualifying" and it was a tournament or the actual Monday qualifier when you have to make just about every birdie chance you are presented I would have been having fits. I struck the ball great , tee shots were again fine and my putts were all rolling smooth, great pace but lipped out 6 times ... 6 lip outs, 1 for eagle and the rest for birdie. I had myself prepared for the event mentally though where I understood that this round meant nothing, you don't have to shoot a real low score, you just have to make it through. I could see from my playing partners they weren't so prepared. One of them was going at every shot possible trying to tear the cover off the ball. Another was so nervous I felt bad for him, he was shanking, he was blocking everything right, his putting was too hard or too soft... I at one point just had to give him a little advice on being in this kind of stuff. I knew how he felt, he looked like I was on those first couple holes of the Canadian Open when everything was moving too fast. So like the season veteran I am ha... I let him know he was still in it, we have plenty of time and not to feel pressured to go quickly. The other fella I played with was a Nationwide member last year, his name was Ben Willman and I had good conversation with him through the round.

Today was the best I had ever felt on a golf course, I wasn't scoring as well as I should've been but I was accomplishing the task that I had set out for. I was calm and had confidence in hitting the shots and really had a laissez faire attitude toward if the putt went in or not... as long as I had my line and I hit it where I wanted it I could do no more. From speaking with Barry it seems that's the attitude you need towards putting is... pick your line, hit it... if it goes in move on... if it lips out and misses, move on. Sometimes that's tough and I still say there is a place for willing the ball into the hole but there sure is a whole lot less stress when you don't care if the ball goes in or out... and i would rather them in all day thank you.

One of the stories Barry had for me on the road was oddly enough from a guy he had met on his travels ... Ken Tarling. Anyone in the golf industry in Ontario for sure would know that name and it's quite ironic. He and Barry had been practicing for a couple days together and after a round Ken asked Barry a question and maybe I'll try and just narrate this thing... good story I learned a great deal from it.

Ken: "How do you feel after a great round of golf when you score well?"

Barry:
"I feel great, confident, I love the game and very positive."

Ken:
"How do you feel after a bad round of golf?"

Barry:
"Quite the contrary, I am negative, upset, angry, I wonder if I'm in the right profession."

Ken:
"See you're in the wrong profession if you're going to be changing your state after each individual round... You need to look at the process. You need to be in love with the process of being a professional golfer. You need to love waking up and going to the range and chipping and putting for hours. You need to love the process of meeting the new people and competing, you need to love the process of traveling from place to place. Good or bad days, you will learn from it and move forward within that process."

I really liked that story and it made me realize how great this life actually is and how much I want to be able to do it for years to come. It is the process that makes you a better player and those who learn from it, you can tell because to them a good or bad day is just another day.

By the way ... the pre qualifier moved 50 players forward to Monday qualifying... I was one of them shooting a 72.

Day 4 - 71 : Silverthorn CC

I apologize for not posting as prompt as the last three entries but the end result was disappointing and has been haunting me now ever since I tapped in my bogey on the eighteenth hole. Before the round I believed that if I shot a 67 I would have no problem earning my card. That would leave me at -2, I felt that was a comfortable place to sit as I was one of the first guys in on that day and would have to wait the duration of the back nine. Once we began the round I felt great again, the second hole I left a downhill putt short by a dimple for birdie which I laughed off as I was instructed by Barry who had been having success by laughing off tough breaks the last two days. When I went to the 3rd hole I hit a big drive straight down the middle favouring the left side which gave me a great angle at going to the green in two... downwind, 220 over water completely. I didn't catch it as well as I would've liked and it came about two feet short of clearing and I made a bogey. When I came off that green I was upset because all I really wanted to do was avoid the bogey and take my birdies when they came... and there would be a lot because I have hit my tee ball so well. Next hole I flew the ball just too far and missed a 7 footer par putt... Now I was getting a little angry, the 67 I was looking to shoot was going to be tough and didn't have to be as hard as I was making it. I actually got angrier on the 6th hole, the number 1 handicap hole on the course. I had a 6 foot birdie putt and missed it short side (and I felt like I had hit a great putt). I missed my 10 foot birdie on the next hole 7 par 5 and the same thing on 9... had an 8 footer and had a 4 footer coming back (it was actually a very tough pin placement). So when we made the turn it was tough telling the scorekeepers I was 2 over because I knew I had 9 holes left to make something happen.
On the tenth hole I hit a great tee shot and was left with 62 yards to a back to front green... hit past the flag and spun back to the front of green which was only a 12 footer, it lipped out. 11th hole I got up and down and at that point I said to myself " I will play these next holes perfect"... kept on repeating it. Numbers 12 (493 par 5), 13, 14, 16 and 18 are all terribly easy golf holes if you make your tee shot. As I kept telling myself that I was just hoping the putts would fall and sure enough I had a 12 footer downhill for eagle on 12 and made it in. Moved to next hole, 60 yards left from a divot, 15 feet left of hole and lipped it out (and yes I was angry)... made a 12 footer for birdie on 14. Stuck my 15 hole ball 15 feet right of flag (par 3) and rolled that putt over the edge. 16 I made about a 20 footer , thank goodness that straight putt stayed online. I two putted on 17 for par and made my way to 18 four under par on the back nine only have making three putts. Very nerve wracking tee shot I had a couple re grips more than usual, I ripped my tee shot way down fairway. 18 is a par par 5 520, and it was playing downwind and I hit my ball in perfect position to make the green in 2 to hopefully two putt, make my birdie and sweat out the afternoon at even par... hey maybe I eagle and -1, I thought that was in for sure as well. 180 yards a good breeze downwind... water is in front and to the right of green and the pin is located on the right side of green 7 paced off right to be exact. From the middle of the green there is a slope that falls to hole. That made it quite easy for me, I had a lady in a prominent blue dress standing behind the green on the left portion of the green, I took aim at her with a 7 iron and hit the shot. I caught it slightly low on the face which means coming out of it a bit. I watched my ball sail towards the at the middle of the green, straight at the flag, then right of green and in the water. Crushed I dropped my ball and two putted for a bogey on the last and knew I had ruined my chances at earning my card. Now I know I made a good run at it in the clutch and all week no putts fell even tough I felt I putted well, and over the 4 days missing by two strokes is really nothing. But I had that card in my hand, a 7 iron to the center of the green.
That is "the" nightmare of the Q school, the tree putt on the last, the ball in the water... those are the ones you hear about and you hope you never have to endure it. Well, it happened... to me, and it really sucks. I've been using my NLP training from my mental strategy sessions to replay the round and further more that shot. I've hit that shot a thousand times perfect now in my head and I can assure you it makes me angrier to know just how easy that was to make that shot and earn my card.
I did learn some good things this week however, I know I have it within me to be there and I know it will happen. I learned a little more how to plug away one shot at a time in a 72 hole event and never get down. It has given me a great deal of confidence in myself to play to my potential... I mean when those putts start to fall, look out.

I return back to Houston today, Barry and I will be stopping in New Orleans half way to break the drive up. Maybe do some celebrating as well as he earned partial status on the tour in first position... so basically he will be in every event this year. I have entered myself into the Shell Houston Open qualifier and hope to make it in to that, win and go to the Masters. If not, I will be working on the game and get set for spring Q school in Vancouver May 26th.

Thanks for all the well wishes I play as though you all are watching every shot and I enjoy having that ... because I hate making bad shots in front of anyone.

Day 3 - 71 : Southern Hills

Today was a good day, I was able to move myself up in the field. Unfortunately for me I was playing so well I almost felt as though I was letting strokes get away when I was missing so many birdie putts. I really felt like I was going to shoot a great round straight from the start because everything was struck so solid. Anyways, long story short... I am looking for a huge round tomorrow. Stick to the good things I've been doing which has been getting my ball in position to have a chance at rolling in a birdie. I went over to the greens at Silverthorn CC and rolled my putter for an hour and I do feel confident rolling the ball. Wish me luck, I have a long way to go, but I know deep down I have it in me to take care of this when the pressure is on.

Day 2 - 72 : Silverthorn CC

Today was an alright day. I felt great and hit the ball great off the tee which is a big reason why I was a little upset with my outcome. Again I had a rough time on the greens, I missed a good 5 putts inside 8 feet and even missed a 2 footer (it was a swinging putt to the right) but no matter. For some reason the greens here at Silverthorn were just as slow as Southern Hills the day prior. Just that speed had an effect on me where I wasn't making anything and wasn't able to create any momentum. I felt like I was when I turned to the front 9 and went birdie, par (missed a 10 footer), birdie, and then par (missed another 10 footer). Then I had another 10 footer for par and missed that, followed by the missed two footer. It's quite a game when you look back and think had any of those dropped I would be well under and and working back against my first round.
That's my project right now, I know there is plenty of golf left but I need to make some strides in climbing back into the field. In all honesty I'm not far out, if I can put together two solid round in the red I will have a card no problem. I feel great out on the course and am just waiting for these putts to fall. I'm not trying to do anything different on the course, just trying to play safe and make my pars... birdies when they are available. Tomorrow I play Southern Hills again and I feel confident that I will play well and hopefully ready to make aq run and show my name up in the hunt. A big help for me has been the help from a hometown friend Mac Boucher. He has offered to help me as a caddy here as he's visiting his grandparents in West Palm Beach. He's been doing a great job of keeping me focused and positive. We look forward to tomorrow I'm going deep, that course is in my back pocket! ... Mac says so.

Day 1 - 76 : Southern Hills CC

Well today things didn't go as well as I felt out on the course. I feel as though I really hit the ball well off the tee and put myself in great position to score well. I did hit some bad shots from the fairway a couple times but in all honesty I felt great on the course. My problem were the greens... my thoughts were that the greens there would be cut and it wouldn't be a big deal dealing with how grainy the greens were. This morning when I got on the putting green I thought the greens were cut and smoother than the days prior. That was on the front of the putting green, go to the back of the green where there was much more grass and it was just as slow. So I felt like I hot my ball in some great spots I was just never able to make the putt to get me moving in the right direction. I made two bad swings which ended up costing me a good 4 strokes... one was on the 8th hole I missed the green and hit a poor pitch shot. The other was on the 12th hole, I hit a great drive in perfect position and tried to hit a 4 iron up against the wind to fall left into the fairway... sure enough it flies straight and lied in an elevated bunker, 48 yards from pin... went over green , bad chip and two putts. Those were the 2 double bogeys I made.
Looking forward to tomorrow morning I feel great and confident about my tee shots, this course will allow me plenty more chances at wedges in my hand and chances at scoring ... also as I sit here outside towards the 8th hole I see they are getting the greens in great shape. So I'm pumped because I've been hitting my putts online and I feel like they will fall, especially out on Silverthorn.
So today may not have been the best scoring day for me but all in all I feel like I'm not out of position or out of this race in any way. Wish me luck as I wwork my way back inside the cut line.

Silverthorn CC

Today was the second day I was able to play the Silverthorn Country Club. As I said this course would will be where I can take advantage of the short yardage. It is 6900 yards and that would be stretched out at its max. Their is plenty of out of bounds, pretty much on each side of every hole but rarely comes into play even on the worst of shots... their is enough room, especially if you take a good line off the tee. We have played the course the past two days with the greens fairly slow and I know that the greens will be cut, rolled and will be quite different from what we have practiced but in my mind they will only roll a little more true so I can look to make a few more putts. I'm excited to play this course though, in my mind if you play well through the two days at Southern Hills then there is no doubt you will be looking good for the top 18.
Today the Canadian Tour Officials made their way to the course and we have been notified that we are playing for 9 full exempt cards and 9+ties non-exempt spots on the tour. There are only 78 players in the field this week thus the reason for reduced cards available. Anyways, I tee off around 9:30 am on Monday at Southern Hills so I look to get off to a great start and ready myself to take advantage of the Silverthorn CC and make my way onto this tour... it's all i want.

Southern Hills CC

Today was my first time getting a look at the Southern Hills CC, the course which we will be playing our first and third day for Q school. Southern Hills is a three year old course and was designed by Mr. Pete Dye. It's a great course and you really don't feel like you're in Florida because of all the hills you have go up and down. It's also tucked away in the woods and almost has a homey feeling for me. This morning Barry and I arrived at the club just before 10 and weren't able to tee off until 2:30. Fortunately they have a great practice facility with an 8 hole par three course, all holes ranging from 80-130 yards. We worked on our short game for a good hour or so, played the par three course, rolled some putts, then hit balls on the range and even had a chance to play a game of pool in the men's locker room before finally teeing off at 2:20. I feel like I was able to get a good feel for the course and feel quite comfortable on it. It sets up well for me as it's a ball strikers course and long positioned tee shots are rewarded. You never really have too much pressure off the tee either. As a matter of fact earlier this week a fella I play golf with from time to time who has been trying to play in some Champions Tour events let me try a driver he wasn't hitting too well. The Taylor Made R7 460 TP, it has a graffaloy platinum shaft and I will be using it off the tee for Q school. It is a great golf club and because of it's size I rarely have to go at any tee shot or even worry too much about misses. My misses are now in the fairway and when I hit it right I'm better than before... This will be a great addition to my bag and will give me a boost while playing in this Q school. Anyways, back to the course... the greens are fairly slopey but not up to standards with a Pete Dye design, they are more subtle. Today the greens were a lot slower than what I would assume we would play in the Q school, they just have them ready to be cut way down. Once they do that the slopes will be more of a hassle and I will have to navigate to the hole a lot smarter because I won't want to be caught above any holes on these greens... I also know that the Canadian Tour loves to place their pins in the trickiest of spots to drive you nuts. Tomorrow I will be practicing on the Silverthorn CC golf course where we will be playing tuesday and thursday. I'm told it will be the course were we will be doing most of our scoring, it's a 6900 yard course and the greens are in great shape but flatter in comparison to Southern Hills.

Arrival in Florida

Barry and I have made it to Florida. We decided to drive through the night so that we would miss traffic and be able to arrive today and relax get a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed tomorrow ready to practice. We have been lucky enough to be put up by two members of the club that we are playing, the Bill and Estelle Corrigan are their names. They have a great place here right on the 8th hole and couldn't be more hospitable towards us two. It's like being at home already, we are too lucky. Later this afternoon we're going to take a drive down to the club and chip and putt around just to have some fun, we may even just go in the back yard and fool around on the 8th green behind us.
I'll keep you posted on what we're looking at for courses (we play two courses for the Q-school) and will get underway tomorrow. So I can say 100% that I'm off on the right foot, this is a very comfortable and relaxing place to come to during this upcoming event.

Stay Tuned,

Well, can't say I saw that coming. There were a couple things that I was pleased with today and of course more things that were disappointing. I'm going to try and stay away from excuses although there were many differences today compared to yesterday. One of the positive differences was that I didn't have the tentativeness over the ball like I had seen yesterday. Unfortunately this is what started me in the wrong direction. My driver was amazing today, my first four tee shots were as perfect as they could be. Second hole my tee ball rested only 80 yards to the hole, I must have driven it 350 yrds (fairways are firm). I did have to deal with the very tight and firm lie to a tucked and elevated pin. Seemed easy enough I had a scoring wedge in my hand but I caught the shot thin and it flew over the green and in the hazard. This was the story of the day. Many of my shots struck well ended up completely different then how I had planned. I short sided myself more often than not, and of course on these greens 20 feet away it's pretty tough to drop them. Don't get me wrong there are guys that shot crazy low scores. Barry actually played with both of the leaders and said for both of them it was rediculous to watch, they made everything they looked at from anywhere (that's how you win). But you get my drift... I will concede that the course should have been played in 1 to 3 under par if you were doing well... Eight under is just nuts. Anyways, eventhough I had some bad luck on the first couple holes i just focused on hitting the greens and sure enough I did but 3 putted those 3 greens in a row. Everywhere I put my ball was just no good to get close. I will say that I had an uninhibited swing but i was just killing every shot, I even clubbed down from my partners 206 into strong wind and my 5 iron flew the green completely. It was very confusing.
Then I started to lose it and I am upset at where my mental game went. Because I felt so good at the start of day and wasn't tentative over any shot I got down on myself because if I felt like that I would've done a lot better, I had bad self talk "why are you doing this?" kind of stuff. I started to speed up my play a little bit and I was certainly in a rut for 5-6 holes. At about the 13th hole I came around and started to think more about how I could still make the cut and keep going... I struck a big drive right into perfect position left with 100 yards downwind to a moderate pin ... I caught it thin and was at the back of the green 40 foot putt and 3 putted. Somehow I didn't get down on myself there and gave myself birdie chances on the next holes 14,15 and 16 not making one of them. I basically stumbled in from there. So it was pretty dissapointing, but at least I know what to work on and what to expect. I really feel like todays score could have been avoided had I stepped back and taken a little more time... unfortunately I didn't notice until it was too late.

It's tough to deal with these things only because I don't have many chances to play under pressure, and matched with the high expectations I do. When something like this happens it's tough to dig yourself out of the doom and gloom but I know I have every bit of skill that the guy next to me has... and soon enough (say 2 weeks from now) it will be evident.

So for my first round back in competition since the Canadian Open I have to say I'm pleased with how things went. They do say the scorecard has no pictures and it's true, however, the weather was perfect for scoring and I felt as though scores would have been super low. I do think the only reason the scores weren't so low is because of the condition of the greens, and I missed a bunch of reasonable birdie chances. From the beginning I felt a little tentative over my shots, I wasn't completely comfortable shooting at the flags. Lucky for me the practice I've been doing helped me trust my game enough to keep me on the greens. I just wasn't able to get close enough to the hole to make the putts, I was leaving myself 15-20 feet from the hole and with these greens you really just want to hit the right weight so you're not left with but a tap in. I hit 7 of my first 9 greens and was only able to convert the 9th hole par 5 for birdie. Later in the middle of the round I got some shots in close but wasn't able to convert. I'm glad I had prepared myself for the greens mentally and stuck to the plan, on the back nine I missed a couple greens and was still missing the putts. Usually you would start to try and mess with your stroke and that usually messes with your head. NOT ME !
My last three holes I finally got my ball inside 10 feet and sure enough made every one. So There it is... first round back in competition and I made it in under par. I'm thinking the cut will be somewhere at +1 or +3. So I'm not worried too much as I feel like a round in the 60's is right there. I'm looking forward to having another round in competition and just get used to the feeling of having some stress over the shot. It makes me zero in and make stronger decisions on the course. Keep an eye on the website for score, I tee off at 9:20am.
