Support
Before I get to far ahead of myself, I would like to acknowledge a few people in my life that has made this chase possible.
First of all my loving wife, without her support and I mean true honest support, I wouldn't have the ability to really "go for it". I can not thank her enough for NOT bashing the idea, or saying "You cann't do it because blah blah blah." Or belittling the idea. Thanks again honey and I love you very much.
Second is my oldest step daughter, without her coming over and watching the house and taking care of my dogs while my wife and I are gone, would make this endeavor much more difficult. Thanks for all you do for me.
It is very liberating to set a big dream/goal and not to have anyone close to you laugh, scoff, or mock you. In many instances that fear of failure is what stops most people from achieving or attempting to reach for everything they have ever wanted.

Tee Time and Pairings
Just received my tee times and pairings. Tee time set for 10:20am Saturday with two gentlemen I have never met. Since I travel a lot for work and play on many many occasions as a walkon single, I dont see being pair with two I have never met as and big issue. As a matter of fact, I am able to just go play. And I think that may be my mantra this season, Just Go Play....
It just so happens I played the same course about a month ago, so I am going back over my yardage book and replaying the round in my head, remembering what I did right and what I should have done. So eventhough I haven't played or practiced much during the holidays due to injury, I feel I am prepared.
So my wife and I will leave Friday after work and make our way. She will meet up with my brother and his family driving up from Panama City to spend the day taking photos and hanging out.

2013 Golf Season
Today, January 3, 2013 is officially the start of the golf season. This saturday will be my first official tournament in Destin FL. I tweaked my back about a month ago and experience lots of pain down my right leg. When i slip my lower back disc, the IT band tightens and pinches the nerve. Serious pain. Been taking some meds, ibuproben, and seeing my massage therapist. As the weekend approaches and not having any relief in my leg, my concerns are esculating. So in an effort to get some relief, I saw my massage therapist, and during the session my back popped....damn that felt soooo good. and low and behold instant pain relief. Woke up this morning and my calf is a little tight but NO pain. Thank God...
So with limited practice over the last month, time to hit the range, and get some full swings in.
This is a 32 person field with 8 people in my flight. Small, true, but with this being my first event, I am kinda glad this is small so I can find my legs.
Wish me well.

New Year 2013
Happy New Year Everyone,
Well as the new year rolls on, guess the Mayans were wrong, I am preparing for my first Golf Channel Amtour tournament this saturday January 5th. I tweaked my back first of December and have had a slow recovery. Done pain patches, which are awesome, ibubropen, massage, just slow going. Yesterday was first time in a month, I felt able to swing the club. So worked on some short game drills, chipping and pitching, and hit a few balls. Back feels good this morning, and I am a little nervious heading into the weekend.
