Hi everyone, it's been a little while since I last posted. Since the Shell Houston Open monday qualifying I have been working hard on being ready to compete and earn my card once and for all here in Parksville, BC at Morningstar GC. First of all I would like to thank everyone who has been giving me well wishes and encouragement. An especially big thanks to Woodensticks Golf Club for allowing me to use the facilities at my leisure to make sure I was ready for the Canadian Tour as well.
So, I arrived this morning in Nanaimo, BC at 10am and was then brought back to where I'll be staying alongside the Morningstar GC. I will be staying with the Loftus's and already they have made me feel right at home. Eventhough I was feeling a little tired I went out for a quick round on the course just to get an idea of what the courses feel is like. I don't think the course is playing as tough as it will be for the event as the greens are slowed down at the moment but was assured they will be close to 11 on the stimpmeter for the Q School. Mike Loftus (who I'm staying with) is the General Manager here at Morningstar GC and I feel this will be a great test, especially once the greens start rolling at 11. The views on this course are amazing, a few tee shots are right into a large mountain range in the distance... it's absolutely beautiful. There is even a family of Bald Eagles on the front nine which is quite a thing the see up close, today two of them flew directly over my head only missing by a good 20 feet while I was on the green putting. With all this nature surrounding the course it will be easy to drift off into the beauty. Over the course of the week I will spend a little more time on learning the lines for tee shots and of course the greens. Stay tuned, I'm feeling good and ready to join the Canadian Tour through Morningstar GC.
