Hello again, Hoosiers!

The grind of Q-School (PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament) is a lot of pressure and built upon nerves!

Going into the second stage of Q-School, I had just previously played seven PGA Tour events in a row! I was wore out and burnt out on golf and a little disappointed at where I finished on the money list, having to go to second stage and not straight to Q-School finals.  Nonetheless, finals could get me a ticket back to the PGA Tour with a top-25 finish!

I chose the Hombre golf course in Panama City Beach, Fla., where four years ago I got through and went to finals to secure my fully exempt status on the Nationwide Tour. Having a lot of knowledge and experience on the course was a huge asset to me.

Going into the final round, I found myself needing to shoot 1-under par to make it to finals. A great start to the front nine left me needing basically to par out on the back nine to comfortably get through. The fatigue and nerves started to creep in after eight straight weeks of golf, though, and a bogey here and a bogey there caused me to just miss by two shots.

Your body and mind are umbeleivably important to be coinciding together to have success in golf. Knowing I could play well enough just wasn’t good enough, as my body had taken a toll and was ready to take some time off an do some deer hunting!

Thanks to all who tuned in for my blogs this season! Hopefully you have learned a little more about me and life out on Tour. Feel free to write in with any concerns or comments, as well as questions.

You can follow my progress next year on the Nationwide Tour!

Good day…
