As I get to pack my suitcases I feel ready to come home. I had a great time in Mexico, the food was great but I'm tired of it and I learned a great deal over the last two weeks. Despite shooting my worst round ever as a professional (I can't even remember the last time I shot higher than 80) I was able to pick away at all the positives that I did this week.
To touch on day 4 I can say that again I put myself at a disadvantage at the first hole of the day (10). I was no longer focused on shooting a score, I was focused on getting myself higher on the category 6 ... so make more money, say like $1,000 or more. Instead of trying to shoot a score that would help me. That helped me get off to a poor start, even though I hit some great shots early (first 4 holes) and was payed off terribly. On hole 13 (my 4th) hit right at the pin, hard bounce and kicked up into a tree foot off ground. I managed to try and get it all back and for the next 5 holes I gave myself great looks at birdie. Then I made a terrible bogey from 105 yards on the par 5 #2 and then it seemed to blow away. My tee shots were already poor on this day, and when I got to the open windy side I couldn't get my ball in play, I was steering the ball which is a no no. I lost 3 balls to OB and then that was it I just wanted to get into the clubhouse and get out of there.
It's tough to shoot a score like and see it on the scoreboard after you have worked and played so well to get yourself in a great position but these things happen. It's a learning experience out here and I've been taking in all I can. I'm really excited to come home and work on a few things so that I can be ready for the Victoria BC event. I think it's best to forget about what happened yesterday and just remember all the good things that have happened these past couple weeks. I did what I set out to do, I needed to make a cut and I did so I'm happy. I get to learn more now as I have a few more events I will be confirmed for. That's all I need is more tries at tournaments. I know that the Canadian Tour is where I need to be to take me to the next level and I can already tell it's working.
