The 2013 season was my first season on tour and what an eye opener. There were many lows and a few even lower points. Needless to say I lost a few balls, missed a few putts, and had my ego shattered. Tournament golf is waaaay different then playing a round with the buddies for lunch or a cigar. Well the 2013 season ended on a high note and breathed fresh air in my lungs and I managed to mend my bruised ego. I qualified for Nationals in September but due to work commitments was unable to attend. Technically the season started in November but I really did not play until first part of December.

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!

First Major at Orange County National
I arrive at OCN to work on some technique my coach Terry Govern wants me to improve upon. Mainly hitting the ball more with my right side and getting on top of the ball. For me this is my first two day Major tournament, with approx 200 participates with about 40 in my flight. Top 3 finishers automatically qualify for nationals in late September, so a lot on the line.
