We shot 62 today to finish 3rd and one shot out of first. We were rained out yesterday after playing seven holes in pouring down rain. This was a thrill for us to be in the hunt the year after playing in the senior division. We really felt we were giving up too much distance to compete with the young guys but today was a neat experience. It is such a rush to play with your buddy and have a chance to win. Next is Port St Lucie Florida starting Monday. I'll play in four events in a two week period. I'll try and post Sunday before the first round if internet is available where I am staying.

We shot 65 in the modified alternate shot format today. We are in 6th place on our wave and in decent shape. They are calling for heavy rain all day tomorrow so it could be rained out. In that case we would play best ball Thursday in the final round. Hope all of you are well and will post again tomorrow night.

Greetings! First round of the Carolinas PGA Section Pro-Pro begins tomorrow. The first of nine tournaments in a two month stretch. The tournament tomorrow is the most fun of the year. We play alternate shot tomorrow, a scramble on Wednesday, and best ball on Thursday. It's the 17th straight year with Robert as my partner. We are competing against the young crowd this year after a playing in the senior division last year. It is supposed to rain all day Wednesday so we need to play well tomorrow in case the tourney is shortened due to weather. Will post tomorrow after round.

73 yesterday to finish 6th. Not what I was looking for but at least getting into position to win. Usually the more you get in the final group the easier it gets to be successful the next time. I do not play again until December 1 when I play in the Carolinas PGA Section Pro-Pro. Then to Florida for two weeks and four events. Need to get in as good physical condition as possible to be ready for next year. Hope all of you are well! I look forward to seeing a lot of you over the Thanksgiving holidays. Take care.

68 today. One back with one round to go.

Greetings! Back for more punishment. Play in the Greensboro Senior Open beginning tomorrow. Ready to get back to the grind and keep trying to get better. Need to get stronger and more flexible for this upcoming year. Hope all of you are well. Will post after tomorrow's round.

Sorry for the delay. No internet at airport in Houston last night and had lessons this morning. Shot 73 final round and missed by two shots. Had a lot of time to think about what transpired, what I could have done differently, and what I could have done better. Looking back I really feel good about the effort and the preparation. I wish I would have had more time in Houston before hand to prepare for those type of greens, but scheduling did not allow that. My first two rounds put me in a hole that would not allow any mistakes at all. The tough part is being so close.

It was an intense two weeks and I had a lot of thrills. The heart was pumping and I was able to stay still. The nerves held up with a lot of help, and was right there in both tournaments up until the end. A lot of things we cannot control and I am able to accept the final results. One shot the first week, and two shots the second week would have been a different outlook from where I sit. I have to just trust the outcome is the path that was chosen for me.

Not 100% sure at this writing what is next but I will keep you posted. Thanks so much for joining me on this first ride and for all the prayers. It was a special time and my faith was certainly strengthened through these trials. My hope is that the journey will continue to be as rewarding as it has been so far. God bless.
