With Q school approaching fast(a mere 8 days away), I am very excited to get at it!  This week was a very productive week of practice.  I accomplished some amazing work in every aspect of my game.  Most importantly, I gained confidence with every area of my game: putting,chipping,swing,pitching,mental.  Increasing my confidence is perfect for what’s in store next week.

Having said that, I’m still nervous/anxious/excited/pumped for Q school.  I understand quite well the impact it will have on my 2009 season, and it’s both intimidating and exhilarating.

It’s intimidating because of the large pressure that can be put into those 4 rounds of golf.  I hope that all of my mental work will down play that pressure and turn into something that will fuel my excitement of succeeding as opposed to my fear of failing.

It’s exhilarating because it’s 4 rounds that dictate the next 9 months of my life!  I love it!  I love that I have the chance to truly shine in those 4 rounds and reap the benefit of another year on the Canadian Tour.

As you can tell, I’m still left trying to process everything that is happening in my head.  I love it!  I love trying to shake off and dismiss the negatives and grab hold and own the positives.  This is a far cry from last fall when I had nothing to fuel positivity heading to Q School, I was just hoping to get lucky.  I can confidently say that this time around, there is going to be very little that is left to chance or luck.

Here’s to another great week of practice!
