New Hampshire wrap-up

Hi everyone,

I made the trip from New Haven to Concord, NH to play in this past week's Duramed Futures Tour USI Championship at Beaver Meadow Golf Club. It was a good week played in hot temperatures. I shot rounds of 77-80 over two rounds and was encouraged by my ability to recover from a a few bad shots and my over 50% up and down saves the 1st round. I also had the privelege of playing in the Pro-am this week which paired me up with 4 amateurs. Thanks to Peter, Rich, Stephanie and Vera for a great day!

This week the tour sponsored a trivia contest at a local brew pub, The Barley House. We received vouchers to eat and drink their great fare and we competed in their trivia contest. Do you know who has hosted Saturday Night Live the most times? Hint...he's wild and crazy...Although we didn't win the BIG PRIZE (tickets to the upcoming PGA Tour event in Boston) we did have a lot of fun. I did go back to the Barley House later in the week to use our complimentary gift certificate :)

I also caught up with good friend and former coaching colleague, Gina Yoder. She drove down from Hanover, NH where she is an assistant professional at Hanover CC (the course at Dartmouth College). It was great to see her and spend some time together. I also enjoyed getting to know my host family, the Berger's. Peter, Ellen, JT & Drew made me feel very at home. The meals, conversation and great accomodations made for a very comfortable week.

After a meeting with Dr. Fabbri this morning, assessing my weekend rounds and passing along my stats to Coach Tom Garner, I am prepared for a good week. I truly feel like results are in my grasp (although my focus remains on the process) and I am coming to understand what I need to do to prepare and relax so to play my best. I am off to Morgantown, WV and will be picking up good friend Joanna Whitley on the way as I travel through Harrisburg, PA. Looking forward to traveling with her for the next three weeks and four events ahead.

Hope to see you lining the fairways at any of my upcoming events. Tickets can always be had so please let me know if you would like to attend!

West Virginia, here I come!
