Today I am very nervous and very excited at the same time. The Viginia State Golf Association has posted it’s 2009 tournament schedule and now that there are actual dates for the tournaments that I want to play in I am both excited and nervous. I am excited b/c this is my very first step into competetive golf and I am nervous because I am going to put myself out there on display and compete with the best that the state of Virginia has to offer. That means if I hack up a 90 it will be on display for all to see. This is going to be such and awesome year! Regardless of what happens this, to me, is what it’s all about. I know in my heart I have the ability to compete with these guys and it is now time to step up and prove it. I really didn’t feel like it was real b/c there was no set schedule but now that the dates are posted it feels real if that makes sense and there is now a fire burning. Time to practice…I mean REALLY practice! Short game and putting must not be forsaken and I have one more trip to see CQ to get a driver fitting before my first tourney!!! God how awesome is this! I feel like a kid all over again!
Hey, Mike, stay excited and enjoy it. So, you shoot 90. Big deal. Go have fun.
Amen Ray…I am PUMPED. I don’t care what I shoot although it will be low…this is just the beginning of my journey and I am just giddy like a little kid at Christmas!!
I’ll second what Ray said. Put youself out there and see how can qualify for. The experience is priceless.
Geez, I meant to say how many you can qualify for. Grammar is hard:0
Go get ‘em bro. That is exciting. I am waiting for NJ to post the 2009 schedule any day now.
You will do well. Get Zach Johnson’s wife to get you a ball-marker like his engraved with Proverbs 3:5. Trust in the Lord.
Good luck Mike! Whatever I can do to help, let me know…
