I was approaching this big weekend to work with my golf instructor, Terry Govern, in Orlando with nervous energy. If you have been following this blog, you know I have been nursing a leg injury. So, I knew going into the weekend I would be rusty, and the last thing I wanted was to waste mine and Terry's time.
The purpose of the trip is two fold, an early season tune up and to recon the course which will hold my first two day major tournament in April.

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!

How to Read Greens
This article is from golflink.
http://www.golflink.com/how_1001_read-greens.html
One of the most difficult facets of golf that beginners struggle with is how to read a green. This golf term refers to a player trying to visualize which way the golf ball will roll when he putts it toward the hole as it follows the contour of the putting surface. Being able to correctly read a green greatly enhances the golfer's chance of hitting a putt, taking valuable strokes off of her score.

Course Management Success vs. Diaster
When you are preparing for your round of golf, what are you thinking?
As you are on the driving range what are you thinking about?
Are you thinking and saying, "I cannt hit this driver." or "Man I just cannt hit this 7 iron." Keep this in mind.
"Most players prepare for disaster…a good player prepares for success." -Bob Toski
To many people play ego golf. The goal in golf is get the ball in the hole.
