In the Hunt

My last two weeks of college golf here at Trinity University have been better than the first few to say the least.  I am beginning to really bond with a lot of my teammates, and I really like my coach.  As you can recall from my last post, I did not make the cut to play in the first tournament.  Since then, I have spent hour after hour working on my game.  Golf is a game of patience and dedication; getting back in your groove after you've been in a slump isn't easy.  And this slump particularly has been especially hard for me to shake off.  Since my last post I have made a little more progress but like i said, it's a process.  I just hope I can step up and start playing well before cuts are made.  As of now my goal isn't to make the traveling squad by next tournament but to make the team period.  If i don't start shooting lower scores, and soon, I am in danger of losing my spot on the team.  These next few weeks are about to get very interesting, I just hope I can keep up with the rest of the team.  I will keep you posted.

First Two Weeks

A Photo By Wnolte

My first two weeks of college golf have been both exciting, and frustrating.  Golfing in college has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy, and so far it has lived up to the hype.  The only thing that could make it better was if I was playing better.  I came into San Antonio playing golf only on bent grass - for those of you that don't know what bent grass is, it's grass that doesn't have grain - and in the south a majority of the golf courses have Bermuda grass.  I never thought the type of grass could make such a huge impact on my golf game.  It isn't so much my long shots that it affects, but my putting.  You see, with the Bermuda grass the grain affects the balls path along with the slope of the green.  By adding this unfamiliar factor, my putting game has hit rock bottom.  It's definitely going to take some getting used to.  Unfortunately, I did not make the cut to travel with the team for first tournament.  But I am confident that I will conquer the Bermuda grass, and make the traveling squad by next tournament.  So long for now.
