It was a good weekend making the cut at the Puerto Rico Open, but a bad weekend cause it could have been SO much better. If I could have made some putts, my 69 on Friday was a 63 easily. I three-putted four times Sunday and that killed my round. As I've told you all before, I am hitting the ball great, just need to get it rolling.

I do consider myself an aggressive player. I do have to learn when to take the risks and when not to take them. Sometimes I press to make cuts or press to score and need to balance that with not making bogies. But I do not expect to hold back on going for it when the time is right.

I am currently playing in the Chitimacha Louisiana Open presented by Dynamic Industries on the Nationwide Tour. I had been an alternate for the PGA Tour event in New Orleans, but not enough people dropped out by Thursday morning for me to get in. That is my life on tour right now...wait and see...lots of waiting and seeing...

GolfLink Question of the Week! Charlie King from Troutman, N.C., asks:

I have been practicing my short game very extensively and 80 yards and in is money for me. But for some reason I am having a #@!$ of a time hitting my fairway woods and hybrid right now...was wondering if you could help with setup tips, the swing and ball position... Rock on player... Go Get The Money!!

Charlie, thanks for the support! It is kinda hard for me to give you some tips unless I know which way you are missing it. If you are hitting it right, you're either lined up right and hitting it that way or you are getting a head of the golf ball. Try to stay behind it. If you are hitting it left, try aiming farther right or you could be coming too far over the top. If you are topping it, you are out of position at impact. Try to keep your head over the ball and concentrate on the ball. If these do not work, consult the pro at your club and let him look you over...those guys are real good at giving simple drills to help your game. Keep hitting those wedges close and remember to have fun!

Tiger is a phenom. No one else compares to what he has been able to accomplish at his age. Tiger has made everyone better that is playing on the tour against him. He's even made the younger players better, so they are ready for the PGA Tour. The thing that makes Tiger's run so unbelievable is the competition on the tour is so tough, but he donimates week in and week out. That's what I want. He has made our purses bigger...I have the best job in the world playing for almost a million a week. Tiger has earned my respect a great deal. I am just a rookie and I want to be just like him. Who wouldn't?

I am in Puerto Rico at the Puerto Rico Open and my Spanish sucks. I have been in a slump, and this week the slump ends! Top 10 for me this week.

GolfLink Question of the Week! Andrew Luey from San Carlos, Calif., asks:

You're doing great on your first year on the tour. Have you talked with Bri Vega lately? You guys had such 'chemistry' on the Big Break. It made great TV. Hope you guys get together.

Bri and I have great chemistry...she is such a great player and wonderful person. We are good friends.

Thanks y'all!

Well, I obviously did not play as well as I would have liked at The Honda Classic. I mean the course was tough, but that's not a good excuse. I figured some things out on the mental side on Thursday night and it helped getting things rolling with three birdies to start on Friday. I really thought I was going to go low, but sometimes no matter how good your head is, if your game is off just a bit out there, the wheels fall off rather quickly.

I've been hanging at home and will be playing next in the Puerto Rico Open March 20. Before then, I am heading to Orlando to work on my game a bit and meet with the Adams Golf folks about clubs and do some testing. I'm just trying to relax at home and get ready for the next run. I know what it’s like now to be out there and I am ready, definitely ready...

I have been hitting my irons well, so I'm just keeping them tuned. My driver has been leaking right, so I am working on that. My Adams 3 wood (that I loved!) cracked at Pebble Beach and I just haven't been able to find another one that works. I've also been working on my putting which I think just about every player does. It is the easiest thing to practice so there's no excuse to being a bad putter as far as I'm concerned.

GolfLink Question of the Week! Ray Cherry of Chattanooga, Tennessee, asks:

At 62 years of age I play over 100 rounds a year and walk 95 percent of the time. My question is: "What type of food do you eat to keep up your energy level prior to a tournament or snacks during a tournament?"

Ray,

That is awesome! I sure hope when I get to be 62 I am playing a lot of golf. I am not necessarily the best person to talk to about eating right, but I am working on that, too. I've learned about how you can eat the right way to keep your blood sugars level (avoid sugar, Ray...it will just make you crash and burn). A guy I've been speaking to told me you need to eat 5 times a day and keep the foods simple. I don’t know for sure the right answers, but the more I learn, the more I'll let you all know.

Thanks for the support!
