BIG 3 WEEKS AHEAD

I'm sorry I haven't made a post since Saskatoon. I certainly have had some good things happen since that dismal day bogeying last two holes to miss cut by two. Unfortunately for me the same tough stuff happened the following week when I bogeyed my 36th hole on Friday to miss the cut by one stroke. It was upsetting but I have really been playing well and feel that my game is moving in a great direction. Some proof was made when I place T2 in the Coppinwood Invitational last Monday earning a little check. Actually again, I made bogey on my final hole and missed a playoff for the win and a $5000 payday.

Lately I have had a three week break and I have used them well. Since I have been playing well I haven't wanted to mess with it too much so just a little warm up here and there and a casual round with a little wager to make the putts worth a little more. The weekends have been enjoyable, going up north to enjoy the cottage life and relax before a big three week push competing in the final 3 events of the Canadian Tour schedule.

Aug 12-15 : Jane Rogers @ Greystone GC in Milton, ON
Aug 19-22 : Seaforth Inv. @ Seaforth CC in Seaforth, ON
Aug 26-29 : Tour Championship @ St. Catherines CC in St. Catherines, ON

I am presently confirmed into the Jane Rogers and should be fine to get into the Seaforth event. The Tour Championship depends on earnings and at the moment I am in the event but need to make some more money in the next two to confirm my place. The next two events don't have a very large purse ($125,000) and the Tour Championship having a $325,000 purse, the biggest of the year. Since I'm playing well I really hope to do well and have some strong finishes. I am tired of worrying about making cuts and want to put my focus solely on hitting good shots and playing a strong round. I now understand that I am playing well enough and have the ability to compete very well in these events and deserve far more than I have achieved this year. What I would really like to do is earn my tour card for the 2011 year. In order to do that I need to earn around $7,000 for the season, which means I need to basically earn that in my next 3 events. Not out of the question ... like I said I'm playing really well.

So this upcoming week I play in Milton, ON and would love all the support I can get while competing in my first Canadian Tour events in Ontario. If you are interested in coming to the event I can request tickets. All I need is an email of how many you would need. You can email me at jacobscriven@gmail.com. Of course these are some very big weeks coming up and any and all support will be much appreciated. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces out on the links and I certainly can't wait to play some great golf for you either.
