I’m in San Luis Potosi, Mexico this week and so far it is a great place.  The hotel has a world class olympic training facility that we have access to.  The golf course is a Jack Nicklaus design and it is really solid.  The clubhouse looks more like a museum both inside and out than a golf clubhouse.

I am totally surprised, I feel like I’m in Palm Springs this week and not Mexico.

I had a good practice round today where I actually hit golf shots that resemble those of a professional golfer.
This round boosted my fleeting confidence a little bit, and hopefully I can do something positive on Thursday and really boost the confidence.

Last week was a tough week with a lot of doubts passing through my head over the weekend.  I did get sick on Saturday, so spending the entire day alone in my room gave me lots of time to go through a mental and emotional roller coaster.

I am in a low place right now, I am doubting a lot of things and it really isn’t fun to be like this.  I think the key to get out of this is to think about ‘me’ and do what it takes to make me better.  I don’t like being selfish like this, but sometimes you need to look out for yourself first.

I have had trouble lately thinking about everything and everybody else other than myself.  I am worrying about how my bad play will affect the world around me and not focusing on how it affects me and how to deal with it.

I really have no expectations this week.  I can’t confidently say that I am over this slump or that I feel good about this week.  I am just taking each day as it comes and doing my best to work my way through this time.

Ultimately, I just have to believe in myself and remember why I am playing golf.  This is the attitude that got me through Q School so easily, so hopefully I can tap into it again and put together some good rounds of golf.

…easier said than done; I know, but I will continue to work my tail of to get back to that place.

I’ll let you know how the first two rounds went on Saturday
