Harbour Town Golf Links,
Verizon Heritage,
Hilton Head Island,
South CarolinaThis post has been edited by an administratorLast weekend, the Verizon Heritage tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links was a nice homecoming. You all know I love South Carolina. It is the best place to live and I had so many friends and fans there. And Hilton Head is a beautiful place...
My first round felt great. I was hitting the ball real well and could have taken it a bit lower, but I was happy. Then in the second round, things took a turn for the worse when I shot 10 on the par-4 10th hole. I'd had some trouble with my three wood and I pulled it bad off the tee. I decided to drop in front of the water and play a big hook to the front of the green and try to make 5. I pulled the heck out of that shot, which again went into the water, and it spiraled into my next shot that also went in the water. I guess I was playing so well that I got to the point I was just trying so hard to make a score that may not have been reachable and it was just one of those things. On the positive side, I was 3 under for 35 holes and 6 over on 1 hole...
I kept fighting and almost missed the cut by two strokes despite that big number. I guess that's just my nature... I don't back down and I never quit.
My plan now is to keep hitting it the way I've been and go make some money.
Thanks to eveyone for their support!

Chitimacha Louisiana Open,
Shell Houston Open,
Taste of LouisianaMy last weekend at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open was positive because I started making putts for the first time this year. I have had a rough go of it with the ole putter. It was also good to see a lot of my friends again. I know a lot of those players, know a lot of players all over, but you know it is kinda hard to develop friendships because every player has his own agenda: practice different times, eat different times, etc. While I was in Louisiana, I attended a festival called the Taste of Louisiana where I tried different foods from different restaurants and that was a lot of fun.
I am first alternate for the Shell Houston Open. On Tuesday morning I played a practice round in the morning and after that eat a late lunch. Then, I practiced some more and called it a day. On Wednesdays, I usually practice some, eat lunch and this week, I hope I get in the tournament. But I prepare my game to be ready for the first round...but it just adds the to the pain of the waiting because you need someone to withdraw to get in. I don't like to root against anyone else. I like to win my own battles.
Peace,
Two Gloves...
