About this blog

This blog will document my journey of playing on the Golf Channel AmTour. The highs and lows, trials and tribulations, the heartache and achievements. The AmTour is open to all levels of amateurs. This blog is also an attempt to inspire others to chase THEIR dreams no matter their age.
So with a lot of practice and some good fortune you just might see me on tv during the upcoming golf season.

"Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream"

Lyrics from Tom Petty's Running Down a Dream.

Quote from A League of Their Own
Jimmy Dugan: ... sneaking out like this, quitting, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Baseball is what gets inside you. It's what lights you up, you can't deny that.
Dottie Hinson: It just got too hard.
Jimmy Dugan: It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

Tournament Results

To make a long story short and I am sure all of my followers are chomping at the bit to know how I did Saturday,  I placed 4th.

So the full story is, as most of you know I tweaked my back and IT band about a month ago and having to deal with this "injury".  There is not a lot that can be done rest and anti-inflamatory meds some heat and ice.  This has caused me not be able to practice during the month.  Needless to say I was rusty.  I warmed up nice and slow and applied a heat patch, (my new best friend), to my leg.

The day was damp and overcast, so that didn't aid in my relieving my leg tightness.  So I just played at about 75% and minimized mistakes.  So all in all I didn't play to my potential but I learned what real nerves are all about.  Making a putt in a competitive round is vastly different then making a putt to beat your buddy for bragging rights.  So I have a lot to work on, but feel very confident in my game and hope my leg heals quickly to I can practice.

Next stop, Alabama at the end of the month......
