Tour Championship
I’m in Barrie this week for the final event of the year, the Tour Championship.
It’s exciting to compete in this event because it’s not open to every player. The course is a great McBroom course that reminds me of both Camelot and The Hunt. The green complexes are very very similar to mine back home, I’m excited to putt on something that I’m so comfortable on.
As for last week; it was another unfortunate missed cut. Once again, my putter let me down. I hit the ball okay the first round but couldn’t make anything to save a respectable score. The second round was a clinic on ball striking. I missed 2 fairways and 2 greens, and was hitting it inside 20 feet on every hole. I could only manage a 2 under 69 thanks to an ice cold putter.
I realized that it has been my mental approach that is causing the missed putts. I’ve been doing a lot of work this week, and I’m trusting that the comfort I’m finding on these greens will allow me to keep to this new mental approach with the putter.
This is a big week, a week were my lack-luster season can be made into a great one. If I finish at least 11th place this week, I will have more than likely salvaged my playing privileges for next year.
This is a very similar position I was in last year at Q School. I’m hoping that I can duplicate the accomplishment of last September by rising to the challenge and locking up my card for 2009.
Here’s to a great week…
