Atlanta Update
So I’ve been here in Atlanta at fellow Can Tour player Derek Oakey’s apartment for a few days and it’s been great. The drive here was nice and brief from Nashville, which is always appreciated after the 20 hours I spent in the car getting to Nashville.
Getting here Tuesday, I got 9 holes in and a little time on the range to shake off some winter rust. It was so nice to get on a golf course.
Yesterday was bad weather so we didn’t get any golfing in. We spent the day packing and moving Derek’s stuff out of his current apartment here in the ATL. We went to an amazing burger restaurant called Flip. I will make a point of going there every time I come through Atlanta. The kicker was the liquid nitrogen infused milkshakes they have, so good!
Today was a bit cold but we braved it nonetheless with a solid 8 hour day in Cartersville working with Derek’s swing coach Scott Hamilton. Scott and I worked on some things for my swing and it was very productive and encouraging. Scott works with lots of tour players on all levels form the Can Tour, Nationwide and PGA. He really knows what he’s doing and his help gives me a good focus for the time practicing in Florida.
I’m leaving tomorrow morning for Wildwood, Fl and a practice round for this weekends event. It’ll be great to get right under the gun this weekend to give me a push towards Q School next month.
I’ve been documenting the trip down on video and will put something together once I settle in Bradenton.
I’ll keep you posted on how I play with my twitter account immediately following the rounds this weekend. A post tournament blog will follow
Awesome, rock on…
I’ll have to try “Flip” next time I’m through there…
We ate at “Texas Roadhouse” last time I was in Atlanta… I’ll be more intentional next time!
Swing coach is cool… nice prep…
I hope you have a great weekend!
