Shot 70 today to qualify for the BMW Nationwide Tour Classic beginning May 13th. Birdied 16 and 18 to tie for 1st but to only make it by one. I am really excited and feel truly blessed to be able to play in this event. Play is on 3 separate courses with celebrities before a final round cut for Sunday. This tournament will be televised on the Golf Channel all four days.

Sorry for the delay but I ended up finishing tied for third in the Head Professional Championship Tuesday. It was a solid tournament and I was really pleased considering the windy cool conditions. It seems like most of the events have been that way this year as far as conditions. This was a good confidence builder for both finishing well and my short game holding up well.

Next up is a Nationwide Tour event qualifier this Monday.

Greetings for Debordieu Club in Myrtle Beach. Today was the first round in the first ever Head Pro Championship for the Carolina's PGA. It was also a wild first round for me. I had a double bogey and triple bogey on my front side and I still am tied for sixth after the first round. This is an extremely difficult course with wind and cooler weather. Two swings cost me four shots and probably a chance to win. However I played well on the back side to keep me in reach. I have really been playing well lately so I feel like I still have a chance. Tomorrows weather sounds better so it should be more favorable for lower scoring.

I have not posted for a while. I tried to qualify for the Verizon Heritage Classic (PGA Tour) today in Hilton Head. We were playing for only one spot and I tied for second. I knew with three holes to play that I needed one more birdie to tie and I hit great putts on both 16 and 17 that did not go in. Played really well and this one will take a while to get over, being this close to qualifying for a tour event.

Lost one down to a very good player in Frank Bensel. I bogied the first two holes and was four under the next 16 holes. I was three down after four, ten, and 13, and I birdied 14 and 17 to get to one down. Hit my second shot on 18 right at the flag but missed clearing a ridge by a foot and left me with a tough 15 footer which I did not make. I am not disappointed and feel good about the entire trip. One of my main goals was to improve my short game and it really worked well this last event. Hopefully this month will help jump start a good year.

Next event is not until March so not much posting until then. I cannot wait to get back home to Melody, family, and friends. The temperature gauge is getting ready to drop. Thanks for tuning in and looking forward to seeing all of you. Take care!

Feels like something special is going on here. I won the last three holes to win 3&2. It felt like David against Goliath since he hit his drives about 50 yards past me. I was 2 down after 6 and won the next three holes. He won 10 and we were even going into 14. I birdied 14, par on 15, and birdied 16 to close him out. I really feel blessed and have to give all the credit to the Lord because I really felt over-matched. It just has that special feeling.

won 6 % 5 today. Played mistake free for the first time this year and really boosted my confidence. I hit it poorly on the range this morning and never hit a bad shot on the course which was very strange. The matches really get tough from here on but if I can play like today I will always have a chance. Typing in the dark so excuse any mistakes. Not easy to get internet here. Hope all of you have a great night!
