Wow. I'm here in Greenville about to play in the BMW. I arrived here around 2PM today and checked in at the main course and it was great seeing the reaction of all the people checking me into the tournament. There was a lot of "the amateur check in is tomorrow, and can I help you find something?" I can tell you that there is not many 40+ year olds here much less 50+. It's a real production here and it can be overwhelming at times.

However, today's practice went great. I really feel that I can do some damage. That is half the battle going into an event like this is being confident. If you lose confidence then you will be eaten alive. I tee of at 9:45 on Thursday at Thornblade, 8:55 Friday at Carolina CC, and 10:25 Saturday at Bright's Creek. Tomorrow will be a lot of short game practice and a light full-swing practice. I will post again tomorrow night.

I am also doing a diary for the CharlotteObserver.com. The first day was today and will go through the end of the event.
