A lesson in perseverance
More disappointment ensued this week in Victoria. After an even par 70 in the first round, I was in good shape heading into Friday. I was confident that I would play well and really get myself into contention.
Thursday’s round was solid, even with the birdie putts touching every part of the hole except the bottom. I took it in stride and was confident they would drop on Friday.
Friday’s round started well getting to 1 under through six holes. Then the 7th hole bit me and handed me a triple bogey 8. The conditions didn’t let up as the wind continued to blow and the greens firmed up a lot. My game was exposed and nothing good happened. I limped in and missed yet another cut.
It was disappointing but I have many positives to take into next week’s event in Vancouver. I feel solid about most of my game, I still have to sharpen up the tee ball and when I do things will turn around fast.
My thought process and confidence was better this week after the work put in over the break since Mexico. I am still putting great and getting more confident with my swing each day.
I will work hard this week until Thursday’s first round. I am optimistic that next week I will finally put together a few solid rounds back to back and have a good tournament.
