Work is good and tournament summer is in sight!

Well, the weather is finally stabilizing out here. Its been an interesting winter out here. We've seen more rain that ever. Its been unseasonably cold, but now I think (and hope) we've finally hit the weather that we're used to. This means more golfers, and hopefully more money for my golf bank. I think I've got my summer finalized in terms of what I plan to play in. Here's what I've got planned so far.

July 7-8 Brooks National Pro-Am
July 11-12 Bakker Crossing Charity Pro-Am
July17-19 South Dakota Open
July 24-26 Western Printing Pro-Am
July 27-29 Schwann’s Pro-Am
August 1-2 Fox Run Charity Pro-Am
August 6-9 Hillcrest Pro-Am
August 13-15 Arrowhead Pro-Am
August 17-18 The Links of ND Pro-Am
August 20-23 Western ND Pro-Am
August 28-30 Bobcat Dakota Open
September 2-4 Dakotas Tour Championship

Might have the MN State Open in there, Tapemark Charity Classic at Southview, and might try a few nationwide/pga qualifiers if the money is right. All depends on what I finish with out here and what else I can raise. If the season goes well and I can actually make some cash, Q school in the fall and possibly Asian tour qualifying in January. All depends on money and ofcourse putting that little round object in that hole!

Hope your well back home!

Life is Good

Well, its been a while since I last posted so here goes nothing. In the last week and a half the desert has seen the PGA Tour, I've seen some more work, and the golf game is only getting better. As you can see, life is good. The Bob Hope Classic visited last week which was great. To go out and watch the guys I want to compete against is a great thrill, and most importantly my greatest motivation. I actually caddied for a Spring Hill member on the final day which was a ton of fun. Our pro was Chris Stroud who had to be one of the nicest guys out there. Very helpful to our players (although I swear he couldn't read greens that well...if you see him don't tell him I said so.) Work is getting a little bit better out here which helps the pocket book as well. The Quarry is finally in the condition I think our pro's and greens committee members want. Its unreal! Finally, I'm still grinding away on the range and playing wherever I can. If I can get a day or two in the next month I think I'm going to play some events depending on my money situation. As for all of you, I hope you are hanging in there. As I remember, Minnesota winters aren't much fun. Hang in there guys. Another couple months and I'll be back home. Most importantly, I can't wait to get my golf schedule finalized and start some events.
