Edmonton Out / Saskatoon Inn

Play on words for a title, but here I am in Saskatoon, a week after sitting around the first tee all day as first alternate. It was the second time I had been the first alternate for an event but this time I was surprised I didn't make it in. It was a pretty strenuous few days as I was the first alternate for three days until the final tee time went off 2:30 pm Thursday afternoon. Every phone call I heard ring in would have me so elated that I was going to get my start for the week. Instead, it was only a chance to get the heart rate up and the stress level higher. All is well though I promise. This week the tour is here in Saskatoon at Dakota Dunes golf club. Yesterday I played a practice round and can say that I am truly excited to play this event. The golf course is in great shape and seems like a great layout to have a good competition. I feel very comfortable with this course and hope to do very well and improve my position on the list before the Winnipeg re-shuffle. I can say I am playing well, during yesterdays round I was working the ball well both ways and also putting and chipping very nicely. Tomorrow I am part of a clinic held at the golf course where we will be getting paid $200 for the hour session. A very nice and easy way to pay for my food for the week. Anyways, Big week this week and I hope to do well, I am just going to calm down, let the stresses settle and get ready to have fun this week and make some serious money.

PS for those of you that have been loving the weather in Ontario... it hasn't stopped raining all day, 30 mile winds and 15 C.
