Back in Action

I was home last week, and I didn't do a whole lot golf related. I hit a few balls, but nothing too serious. I've got a long year ahead of me, so I took the rest while I could.

I'm back down in Vegas playing the Harmon Tour. I needed to make a check this week to make sure I was in the Tour Championship. It was a battle...

I hit the ball well yesterday. Despite some bad shots around the greens, I was three under after nine. It caught up to me, though, and I ended up shooting 1 over.

I was VERY frustrated last night. Throwing away the little shots, which are normally a very strong part of my game, was completely unnecessary. It hurt big time, and put me outside the cut number.

So I needed a good round today. The front nine was almost a carbon copy of yesterday. I hit it very good, but struggled around the greens. Two under on the front. Pretty good.

The back nine was a bit strange. I didn't feel like I hit it very good, and I didn't feel like my short game was very good. Somehow, I managed to shoot 1 under on the back, 3 under for the day, for a total of 2 under. Just inside the cut.

Anyhow, I'm in sixth place now. The leader is at -8, and second is -6. I'm in a pretty good spot, all things considering.

Things are coming around. My whole game feels pretty solid, and my bad rounds have improved tremendously. Now it's time to get hot and post some low numbers. My "preseason" (not a very fitting term, it's all big) is coming to a close. I'm looking forward to this year. Upwards.
