June updates
Well it’s been a pretty busy time since my last update. June started off with me going to spend a few days with a good friend in Michigan. I had a brilliant plan of driving over to Iowa and playing a practice round for our Duramed Futures event there and then driving to Chicago to do the same for the US Open qualifier course. This plan would have been perfect if I hadn’t injured my neck somehow. I ended up driving to the courses and then just walking them and not able to play. I did get to see them so I thought that was better than not.
After Chicago I drove to Springfield, IL to prepare for the Monday qualifier. I played pretty solid except for 1 bad hole and missed qualifying by a shot. So I was back off to Iowa. I played really solid for the first 2 days and was in great position before having a rough Sunday. I didn’t have much time to think about it as I was off to Chicago to pick up my parents who came into town for 3 weeks.
Decatur was our only major of the year and it was an up and down 4 days for me. I didn’t have much time to think about that either because the 36 holes for the US Women’s Open were on Monday. I played pretty good for the 36 holes, but came up 2 shots too many. Maybe it’s time I take a break :) At least that’s what I keep telling myself. After the 36 holes, we drove to Mason, OH for our next event. It was another great first 2 days and I was feeling good going into Sunday. Things just didn’t go my way again as I closed with a 77 and moved WAY down the list. We need to figure it out that’s for sure!!!!
Onto Hammond, IN next. On Tuesday morning my dad threw his back out and was not able to caddy for the week. We ended up changing their flights and they went home on Thursday morning so he could get better. It was a good week. I played the most solid golf for 3 days that I have so far this season. My 66 in the second round moved me right up into the mix of things and it was nice to be in the 2nd to last group on Sunday. My score on Sunday was not great, but I played much better than then number, so it’s very encouraging for me.
I am at home in South Carolina for a few days relaxing and getting in some good practice at Thornblade Club. It’s great to be there and feel the support from the membership. And hey, when the US Open Champion Lucas Glover is a memeber there, you really can’t go wrong!!! :) Hoping to continue the good play and maybe even get a W here before the year is over!!!!
