Well if you've been following online you already know I made the cut. What a relief that was considering the nerves I had coming in. Knowing you are near the cut is a bit of an experience, I wanted to play aggressive but didn't want to miss more. My back nine the body was stiff I was steering it off the tee which was out of my control. I tried to be calm and patient but it was just an experience I had never had before in my career. Remember this is truly the 3rd "tournament" I have played that has a cut after 2 days as a pro and my first ever cut made. I now have a "career earnings" HA! Either way a lot was riding on making this cut. I now am guaranteed a start in the Times Columnist in Victoria BC and hopefully everyone else. I hope this week I get myself some good money where I can get ahead of a bunch of the guys who were in my category and made cuts. This is a crazy event though, so many guys are going low. I mean a -4 cut is crazy. The course isn't that easy I can tell you but it's teh greens, they are basically straight putts on a 7" stimp. (Stimp is the speed of the green and 7 is very slow) The one good thing is that they roll pretty true (as good as 7s could I guess. So guys really don't have to fear running a putt by too far so the guys in teh lead are basically ramming these putts in. Hell, I may be the guy making the best putts on the golf course this week. I made so many great (pressure) putts coming in on the back nine today including a 25 footer for par, and a 15 footer for par save on the last (9). As all of us golfers should know it's putting that makes your round and I'm glad it's there so hopefully tomorrow (9:40 am off 10 tee) I look to be loose and ready to shoot a score and get myself closer to the top of this leaderboard.
