Golf Clubs On Us

California Dreamin…

Florida ended in a rather terrible fashion as far as the weather was concerned.  We received 6 inches of rain in 2 days, so the course was completely unplayable.  Other then the weather for those 2 days the trip was excellent and very productive.  It was great to be able to see where my game was after the winter and for when I arrived in California.

I spent the week in Ontario hitting golf balls at Devil’s Den in Brooklin and planning the Tyler Martin Classic.  I have taken on more responsibility regarding the tournament planning and preparation this year.  I was able to get a lot accomplished this week and will have to do a lot of the work while I’m on the road.

I arrived in California to my buddy Mike holding a sign saying “Gaylord”. I started laughing immediately!  The flight into Sacramento was rather cool as I was sitting 2 seats from MMA fighter Urijah “The California Kid” Faber.  He turned out to be a really cool cat, and was just as interested in my golf career as I was in his MMA career.  I have been really lucky with the weather here in Northern California as it has been sunny and in the 70’s almost everyday!  However, this week isn’t looking as promising as rain is forecasted for 3 days straight.  Since the weather has been so nice, I have been able to get some great practice in as well as play a lot of golf.  My game has been coming around and my confidence has been growing.  I have had many rounds of 1 or 2 over with absolutly NO putts going in.  I truly feel I am on the verg of shooting some great scores very soon.  I have also had a tougher time then I had imagined ajusting to the new grooves in my wedges.  They have caused me partcular trouble when I’m chipping and pitching the ball. The spin rates are completely different.  The last 2 times I have played I have been under par which is a step in the right direction! 

 Till next time…
