Man that was so satisfying. The par 5 13th, had a great drive, followed it by a great 3 hybrid to within 100-120 yards of the green, back pin placement. Hit a PW that started a little bit to the left of the flag and turned to the right. Hits the green a few feet left of the flag, gets a lucky bounce to the right and ends up one inch from the cup for a tap-in birdie. That was a net score of double eagle for the hole as I had 2 strokes for that hole (stableford match).

Other noticeable moments of the day: a birdie on the par 4 8th with a 10 footer (net eagle) and another birdie with a 7 footer on the par 4 5th for a bogie as I had already lost my first drive to the right OB.

A par on the 18th, a couple triples and doubles and the rest bogies.

Finished 4th with a total of 39 stableford points and my handicap dropped from 28 to 27. Also qualified to play in the Peugeot challenge next week.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

Way to go man. I almost had my first eagle last thursday. Uphill 455yd par 5. Driver 237 yds off tee. 218yd 3 hybrid 21* that sat on the edge of the rough and fairway. third shot ball below my feet chip shot to 3inches. when I first hit the chip i didnt think it had a chance then it started to break towards the cup and just short. i was so upset but i guess i cant complain about a tap in.

    • Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.
    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
