New Mexico/Colorado

I am currently in Farmington, New Mexico visiting my good friend Randy Kahn and his family, while playing in the Navajo Trail Open and the San Juan Open. Prior to this, I played in a 2-day Pepsi Tour event at Callippe Reserve and took my P.A.T. The first round at Callippe was very solid. I shot a 2 under par 70 which included 2 missed 4 footers on 2 and 3, and bogies on 15-17. 15 is a 505 yard par 5 so I threw away a bunch of strokes at the end. Still, I was glad to see my solid play was continuing. Unfortunately I followed up the 70 with a smooth 80. I double bogied 2 driveable par 4's and made a 9 on my last hole. I try not to make excuses but I think working 45 hours over the 3 days prior to the tournament took its toll on me. I felt very tired and weak and my swing felt out of control. This was very frustrating but I knew what really caused the 80 so I was able to let go of the score and move on.
Since arriving in New Mexico, I have had a couple solid days filled with plenty of practice and 2 rounds at San Juan Country Club where I will be playing the San Juan Open. Although my putter has yet to show me anything better than it's C game, I have fired a couple solid rounds of 68 and 67 on a course I have never seen before. My game feels solid and I am excited to play in the 2 events while I am out here. Tomorrow is the pro-am round for the Navajo Trail Open in Durango, Colorado, with the tournament actually taking place on the 19th-21st. You can follow my progress on www.golfhillcrest.com or wait for an update blogg after the tournament concludes. Thanks for the support and stopping by to see what's been going on and check back in soon.
