Another Cut Made, but Room for Improvement Remains

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!
