The Night Before Scotland....

Well, tomorrow I'll be heading to Scotland for 7 days of nothing but golf, golf and more golf. Our flight leaves New Orleans at 1:15pm and stops in Philadelphia before leaving for Glasgow at 9:00pm. We're scheduled to arrive at roughly 7:00am on Sunday morning and then head straight to Turnberry to play our first round. I can't explain how excited I am for this opportunity as this has always been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. The forecast over there is for rainy/cool conditions which I guess is to be expected this time of year. If anything, it will just add to the whole experience.

I'm going to try and take as many pictures as I can and share them through this blog when I get back. Wish me luck.....

Summer Update

Hello everyone. It's been a while since my last post and that's mainly because I haven't been playing in any tournaments. I was supposed to be leaving Monday for my next event, but I got a call Wednesday for the Tour Director letting me know they had postponed the tournament until October. I was pretty disappointed in the news because I had scheduled my plans around that event. There were other tournaments these last few weeks that I opted not to play in because I wanted to work on some things and prepare for what was supposed to be this tournament in Monroe, LA. I've looked at trying to find something else to play in, but there aren't any other options for that week.

And then the following week, I'm not able to play in anything because I'm going to Scotland on Saturday, July 16th. My father-in-law is taking me and my two brother-in-laws over for a week to play some of the best courses Scotland has to offer. It's a once in a lifetime trip, and I'm so thankful to have this opportunity. I think every golfers dream is to play one day at the place where it all began (St. Andrews) which is where we'll be playing our last round before flying back. I can't express how excited I am to go over there, and I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to post when I get back.

So, with all this going on, it looks like it'll be August before I play in another tournament. I know the time off will probably be a good thing, and I can tell already that there are areas of my game that seem to be improving. My putting, for one, has probably improved the most. I've adjusted my routine and my grip and it's already shown better results over the rounds I've played lately. Also, I got my new clubs in that I ordered and have spent a lot of time getting used to the changes there. I'm pleased so far with the way they've preformed and I look forward to working more and more with them going forward.

This weekend, I'll be in Grand Isle with my family celebrating the holiday. I hope everyone is doing well and have a Happy 4th of July.
