Back to Business!

Hello!

It's been a good while since I've written anything, but we had a small break in the schedule with the Thanksgiving holiday. I had an absolutely wonderful time in Norman, Oklahoma with my friends JR and Erin, and their families, and I can't thank them enough for being such great hosts! It was a week of great fun, great golf, great weather, great friends, and just an overall great time! We even were joined by our friends Fergal and Lindsey for the weekend, and got to witness the Oklahoma Sooners beat up on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the big Thanksgiving weekend college football game. It was an absolutely incredible week, and even though it was tough to leave, it is great to back in the Woodlands.

We start another tournament tomorrow morning on the Forest Course at Kingwood Golf Club. It is a great golf course, although it will be a little wet, as we have had a good amount of rain the last few days, and it is pouring right now! It is always tough to be patient when the course is very wet, as you will get mud on your golf ball, bad lies, have to deal with casual water, and usually just a number of frustrations that you don't normally experience. Hopefully we will be playing lift, clean and place, through the green, but if we don't, you have to accept the bad breaks, benefit from the good breaks, and just keep grinding until the last putt is holed on 18. My dad has always taught me to be prepared for anything, so I most definitely will be more ready than just about anyone else, for any type of weather or course conditions!

This week has been really fun for me because Adam Speirs is down here playing the next two tournaments as well. Adam has always been a very good friend and someone I have looked up to, and it's been a blast playing and practicing with him the past few days. Adam has accomplished quite a lot in his golfing career thus far, and I am trying as hard as I can to pick up a few pointers and tips along the way!

I have partially solved my driver dilemma, as Adam brought a driver head down for me to use while mine is being replaced. My good friends at the Caddy Shed graciously lent me one that I can play until I have received my replacement from Taylor Made, and I can't thank them enough. I heard there was a big sale down at the Shed, so go find all your Christmas presents for all your friends there, and tell them Stewart sent you!!!

Well, it's bedtime for me, and I'm really excited about getting this tournament underway tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
Stew
