The Latest results from Greenville

The years second major for the NGA Hooters tour was hosted at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, North Carolina. The course was interesting to say the least, greens were not as good as the last couple tournaments we have played, but to truly presented a challenge. Scores were higher this week because of the difficult and bumpy greens. For the first round I hit the ball solid all the way around the course hitting 13 greens in regulation and hitting 11 of 14 fairways, but I only got up and down 1 out of 5 times and three putted twice. To upset all of those bogies I had four birdies that brought my total score to 74(+2), which puts my one shot above the cut line after the first day. So I figured I go out there the second round and shoot an even par round and I will be there for the weekend. My second round started out steady by making pars on the first 4 holes missing a 6-foot birdie putt on the 4th hole. I then made bogey on the next hole because of a poor tee shot, and double on the next hole because of another poor tee shot. I was frustrated, but I know that I can come back from this. I made par on the next hole, then preceded to hit the ball to the front fringe in two shots on the par 5. When I failed to get up and down there I started to feel the heat, time is running out, there are only ten holes left with only two par 5's left. The ninth hole is a 225 yard par three over water, I hit my tee shot pin high on the right fringe when the pin is on the left side of the green. Again I failed to get up and down from the fringe to make bogey to shot 4 over par on my front nine. I made a bogey on my tenth hole, things were not looking to good, but I never gave up. The next hole is a par 5, I hit driver then 6 iron to the middle of the green 25 feet away from the pin. I two putted for a birdie to get back to four over for the round. I made par on the next three holes and then birdied the par 5 15th hole to get to 3 over on the day. Then I made a bogey on the next hole to go back to 4 over and finished par, par to shot 76(+4) on the day. For the two day total I shot 150(+6) to miss the cut by 4 shots. One of these tournaments coming up I am going to break through this funk and make a cut. I am very close, but I just can't seem to finish it off in the second round. I feel that once I figure it out the flood gates will open and I will start making a bunch of cuts. Keep praying for me as it is tough out here for me spiritually, but with God's help anything is possible. I will be flying home on Monday night so please pray for safe travels as I drive the motor home by myself to Nashville, TN and then fly home from there. I will see some of you soon.
