Practice Season


The practice season is winding down and the tournaments are almost here. I have been working with my coach Drew Reid for the last couple of weeks and we have been making some great progress. I am starting to get more in control of my ball flight and am fine tuning my shot shaping abilities. We have worked on a variety of new short game shots that will enhance my shot options around the greens. However, I am the most excited about my putting. I have made some big changes and am rolling the ball great. I am looking forward to the upcoming tournaments and seeing how well I compete. I recently found quote I thought was quite good.

Update

Hi Everyone,

Here is an update on what I have been doing. I am sorry it has been a while since my last post.
I have been going to a local community college this year. I had a very busy schedule last quarter, during which I took business calculus, environmental science, technical writing, and fit lab. I decided to take a break from golf for a while during my ‘’offseason’’. It was definitely the right choice. I feel much more refreshed and able focused on playing ‘’quality’’ golf. All of my studying paid off as well. I earned a 4.0 GPA last quarter in some difficult classes. I have been practicing golf a lot lately and have been making some great improvements. I am really excited about how my game is coming together for this upcoming year. My next big event will be the US Open local qualifier at Overlake Country Club, which is near Seattle, on May 10th. I am excited and looking forward to the rest of this year.
