Final Approach

(This is the third blog in the series on my attempt to qualify for the U.S. Mid-Am. For the first two blogs in the series, click here and here.)

We are now less than one week out from the Mid-Am qualifying tournament. In the last blog I talked about a couple of weaknesses I had concerning tournament golf, so in an attempt to get some more practice under my belt I signed up and played in a local tournament. I played decently and finished 2^nd. I could have scored much better but my emotions got away from me when I got out of my comfort zone. I think playing in that tournament will help me be much more prepared for the way I’ll feel Monday morning.

I also recently took a trip with my dad and two of my brothers to Whistling Straits where we played A LOT of golf and I got a lesson from a PGA Pro. This was an amazing trip and thinking about all of the golf history that has occurred there really helped put this qualifying round in perspective

.

Now that this process is almost over, I’ve come to realize a few things. The last blog will focus on this, but I can tell that preparing for this tournament has helped me improve myself immensely. For now, I’m excited about finally getting the chance to play a prestigious course and see how far I’ve come. Hopefully next week I’ll be back with some good news!
