Update

It's been a while since my last post, so I wanted to give everyone a little update on what's been going on. My first priority since I've been home has been to find a way to improve my putting. So, from day one I've focused the majority of my time working on that part of my game and I was able to come up with a couple solutions. They were (1) a small adjustment in my setup and (2) establish a routine. Even though there are certain things I do before I hit every putt in competition, I never had an exact routine that I went through perfectly every time. So far, that change has made the biggest improvement. In fact, the first round I played after working on my routine I had 26 putts, 8 birdies and shot 67. So I think that will be something I'm going to stick with and really focus on going forward.

This past Friday, my former boss JT was kind enough to take a look at my putting and add a few pointers of his own. I liked the suggestions he made and I think they will be good additions to my game. We're planning on getting together again next week for a check-up so I'll be looking forward to that.

Aside from putting, I've just been trying to play a lot of golf. My swing feels good so I'm just trying to play as much as possible and get used to shooting some lower scores. I was able to meet up with Brian Manzella for a quick lesson the other day and that went really well. For the most part, we were just trying to undo some of the manipulations I had made in my swing these last few weeks due to my foot. Now that I'm able to make a full swing, it's just a matter of getting back to the things I was doing before the injury. I wouldn't say my foot is completely healed, but it's good enough to swing the way that I want to. At worst, it gets a little tender every now and then.

My next event is an Adam's Tour tournament being held in Baton Rouge, LA beginning June 9th. I'm heading up that way tomorrow actually to help my brother-in-law move into his dorm at LSU where he will be starting college next week. On Tuesday, I plan on playing the course where the tournament is going to be held as an early practice round. That's it for now. Hope everyone is doing well. More to come later....
