Sports Frances Open
As I said a few days ago, I’m in Santiago, Chile this week. This is the first of my 3 stops around Latin America. Next week I play in Argentina followed by an event in Costa Rica.
I got into these events based on my affiliate member status on the Canadian Tour. This member status allows me a chance to regain my full playing status for 2009. If at any point in the 2009 season I can reach the money equal to 50th place from the 2008 order or merit, I will regain full status.
This was great news when I was told about this yesterday. It’s great to have an immediate goal. I’m very encouraged by the thought of earning my status this way and not having to go back to Q School in the Spring.
As for this week, my focus is very simple. My sports psychologist and I have assessed the 2008 year and came up with a game plan for these 3 events. If I can accomplish this week I will be very pleased.
It feels great being down here and being back into the tournament world. My head is clear of the clutter that brought me down all year, and I feel very refreshed. These events are 2009 events, so 2008 is over and done with. It’s time to move on, to look ahead and forget about the struggles that got me down all of last year.
I’m playing in the afternoon Pro-Am today, followed by an afternoon tee time on Thursday and a morning start Friday.
Here’s to a great start of the season!
