Update

It's been a month since I last posted but nothing has really been going on. I have been working hard on practice and getting everything ready for the august month. This year I was unable to test my game for a chance at the RBC Canadian Open. The field filled up very early and had nearly 50 worthy local pros on the waiting list. Other than that disappointment, I have put my focus toward a few things happening this August month. Monday July 27 I will be competing in the Dick Grimm Invitational at the Coppinwood golf club. It's an 18 hole event and hosts some of the top local pros. It should be a great event to get the competitive juices flowing again. Earlier in July, I sent letters requesting sponsor's exemptions to the next two Canadian Tour events and I hope I receive them. August 3rd is the beginning of the Jane Rogers Championship for the Canadian Tour at Greystone Golf Club. August 31st is the Seaforth Invitational which is another great event on the Canadian Tour schedule. I sent resumes trying to prove I deserve one of the spots to both those tournament directors and I hope I'm given a chance to play the events without having to endure the stress of Monday Qualifying. Lately I have really been playing well and I'm super excited for it. I always seem to be peaking this time of year but this time around I have so many more experiences and a little more confidence and know how of whats going on around me. I feel like I'm ready for the opportunity to play in these Canadian Tour events and ready to play well enough to perhaps gain more starts on the tour. I have been working hard on my driver these days though. I bought and put together a Taylormade R7 460 TP and thought that I made a perfect match to the one I used during Florida Q School and Shell Houston Open Qualifying. At the moment I don't see the resemblance but sometimes I hit a tee shot that just soars and it seems effortless, so I know it's there within that driver.

Other things on the schedule this August is a golf tournament I'm hosting at our local Foxbridge Golf Club. The GM at the club asked if I was interested in hosting one at the club, and being the club I have played probably 1000 rounds at growing up we will be teeing off on August 16th. I am actually taking care of everything on this tournament myself so it's going to be tough to weigh the practice and the run around and stress of a golf tournament but it should all fall into place and I feel up to both challenges.

August could be a great month and I hope I have great news,
