Well, we're one day away from competition and I have to say I was hoping my foot would be feeling better than it does at this time. Fortunately, it's held up enough to where I've been able to test it out the last couple of days and come up with a swing that I can use. As of right now, I know that I can make about a 3/4 swing at roughly 80% power. Obviously not what I was hoping for, but good enough to make it worth giving a shot tomorrow. Even though we have to walk during tomorrow's round, so far that hasn't been a problem. I also plan on having my brother-in-law caddie for me so that should be a big help.
Luckily for me, the qualifier is being held out here at English Turn so I know the course very well. Maybe having this injury will be a blessing in disguise because it will force me to play smart/safe on a lot of holes and not be overly aggressive. I'd say that inside of 120 yards I feel pretty good since I normally use a smaller swing for those distances anyways. My short game is still solid so if I can get a few putts to fall I think there's still a reasonable chance for me to qualify. Everyone is going to have to deal with the conditions of the greens as they are nearly as bad as the greens I played on last week in Waco, TX.
As they say, the show must go on. I'll take my Aleve, wrap up my foot and find a way to get it done. My tee time tomorrow is 8:20 off #1.
