Cold and windy

I seem to be having a hard time remembering to post here. I intended for this to be a nearly daily blog, but so far its been sporadic at best. The past couple of weeks have gone well. Im still pounding a couple thousand balls a week on the driving range and getting in 5-6 rounds of golf.

Ive played pretty well the past couple of weeks...a couple of 67's and 68's. I had a couple of days where I shot 1 or 2 over as well, but the wind was up over 20 mph and it was pretty cold out there.

When I play I usually am able to hit quite a few practice shots while I'm out there. The other day I hit wedge from 138 and wasn't real happy with it. It was off line about 15 feet to the right and I hit it well past the hole, I thought. So I hit another one. This one went long as well, but was right over the stick. The shot was pretty much blind, though. When I got up to the green I noticed the ball I had in play was pin high and 15 feet right. It had sucked back a good 20 feet from where it hit. I could't see the other ball. Then I saw the pitch mark on the back of the green. The ball backed up into the hole. In the same round I stuck a wedge about 10 inches away from a hundred yards out and left a ball four inches from an ace on a 180 yard par 3.

I've about decided to not play the Hooters tour ranking school in January and concentrate on trying to Monday Qualify for Nationwide events. For that matter, I can Monday Q my way into Hooters events as well. I really feel like I can make some cuts if I can just get myself into a few events. We'll see.

I hit a ton of balls the last 2 days. I'm taking the next 2 days off to take Abby to Texas to see some family. I'm about to order a new driver as well. Im anxious to see how it performs.
