Well, I had my practice round today before the qualifier. The course I'm playing at has generous fairways but penalizing rough. The greens were not fast by any means and it was playing quite soft. Last year the course was hard and fast so it is a lot different.

It took a 70-70 to qualify last year and I'm expecting close to the same this year. i'm not making any predictions on my score though...just going to play one shot at a time and hope for the best. Let's just say that if I qualify I'll be more shocked than anyone else.

Fairways and Greens.

As your signature says, Dave, fairways and greens. You know what Rotella's signature would say: play one shot at a time, pick a precise target, and trust it.

I'll see you in Philadelphia.

Sorry guys...

Shot a 78 today. My putting was bad to say the least. I had it to 2 over going into 16 (holed out for eagle on 15) and 3 putted from 30 feet. Then tripled 17. I should have taken relief from some casual water, but decided to fat it into the hazard. Ouch. Lipped out for birdie on 18 to finish.

Right now, I'm still in for the 2nd day only because they take the low 30 or within 8 shots of the lead. The low score now is 70. I'm expecting someone to come in a bit lower though.

I hit the ball OK. I don't think it was nerves at all...just played a bit too cautious at times. Anyway, it was a bummer...gotta get ready for club championship though.

Fairways and Greens.

Just found out that I made the 1st day cut. 70 was as low as it got. I'm glad mostly because I get another free round, some experience and a chance to redeem myself.

Hey, crazier things have happened. Just go in there tomorrow and play balls to the wall so-to-speak. :)

Good luck!

My senior year, in regional qualifying for States, I shot an 89 the first day. An

89 . I figured I was nowhere near making the cut. On day two I shot 70 and was the first alternate to States. So you never know. Play confidently, Dave, and play well.

ONE shot at a time! Its a crazy game and anything can happen. Enjoy your experience and rock on with your bad self!


Not much better today.

11 Fariways
15 Greens
37 Putts

Shot a 77 with 15 greens. The most putts I've had in any round this year was 31 until today. My only complaint was that they didn't change the pins from yesterday so the area around the holes were beaten up pretty good after 100+ in the tourney and public play afterwards.

I should change my sig line from "Fairways and Greens" to "Fairways and Greens...and don't forget to practice putting you idiot!".

Best of luck to you next year, Dave. Rather poor of them not to have changed the pins - that leads more to lucky putting than to skillful putting. You'll get in there next year. I know it.

    • Nope, and a bit too expensive for what I usually spend on clothing. Not sure if these pants are the kind where they are like business casual but also can be worn while doing athletic stuff (like working out).  I do own a pair of pants from VRST, and like them a lot. They got a business casual look, but very stretchy. I forgot my gym shorts to volleyball on Monday. I had these pants on and had no issues. You can literally go from work to the gym. . 
    • 100%.  Currently, it takes me several shots of various progressions to make my brain even trust that it will work.  It is so opposite from the feelings I have had for years.  And forget about adding any speed at the moment. That is just a recipe to fall back on the old habit
    • I haven't either. But there doesn't seem to be any reason why at least the pants would create any issues. 
    • Anyone tried Public Rec apparel on or off the golf course?
