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!

Puerto Rico Amateur Tournament

Lessons Learned

February started with a trip to PR a week ahead of the PGA event on the same course, Trump International.  Excited would be putting it mildly.  I was able to play a practice round on the more difficult International course.  The international course contained numerous elevation changes and breathtaking views.  The views included the rain forest as well as the Atlantic Ocean.  The wildlife included wild dogs and an abundance of iguanas.  Yes iguanas!!!!.  There were a few large enough to saddle and ride and having lived in the south for a few years, the thought of catching one to eat it did cross my mind, however I didn't want to run the risk of ruining a perfectly good 7 iron.
