Hello everyone! Me again.

So, it's been a while huh? Well, I've played a few rounds since my last post. Nothing new really. Hit some very solid iron shots. I'm not yet completely satisfied with my iron play, but it has seen some significant improvements in the last two or three months. I shot a 92 in my last round. I could have easily broken into the 80's (for the first time) had it not been for a quadruple, a triple and a couple of double bogeys. Man those high scores are killing me. On the brighter side, I managed five pars, a birdie, and what seems like a plethora of bogeys.

The problem, to be honest, is my putting game. It is lacking, to say the least. It needs a lot of work. Seems like I spent too much time at the range, working on iron play, and not enough time on the putting green. I've been meaning to do it, just haven't gotten around to it. I will though, soon enough.

So the real reason for this post is tomorrow (1/17/2008). See I haven't really played any "nice" courses, resort courses. I've spent my entire golf life on inexpensive courses. Now don't get me wrong, we do have some nice courses here in the Rio Grande Valley, and plenty of them. Let's just say that noone comes down here solely to golf. So anyway, tomorrow that all changes. I'll be playing at the Resort Course at La Cantera in San Antonio, home of the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open. And man am I excited. I know it's not Pebble Beach or Augusta, but to me it will be the best I've ever played. I just hope it all goes like I envision it. And who knows, maybe I'll break 80 while I'm there. Wish me luck! I'll keep you posted.
