The Night Before!

Hi guys!

Tomorrow is the day everything gets going! At 10:00am, I begin my professional golf career in my first event. We are playing at Cypress Lakes Golf Club, in Cypress, Texas, which is a great course. I have played a tournament there many years ago, when I played on the Texas Junior Golf Tour. I wasn't too familiar with the course, but after a practice round this afternoon, I feel confident that I know enough about it to play well!

It is a very strange feeling to be beginning a new chapter in my life. Even though I have played golf all my life, and competitively since I was 13, I've never done this before. That is a pretty scary feeling! Once the tee goes into the ground on the first tee tomorrow, it's the same game, and the same feelings and emotions as normal, but everything leading up to the event has seemed very different to me. After so many years of practicing for this, and so many years of dreaming about this, it's finally here. To say I'm nervous would be an understatement. Hopefully it will all pass, but it is a strange feeling to be beginning something that shouldn't feel as different as it is!

No matter what happens tomorrow, it will be very exciting. I've thought about this, and dreamed about this, and prepared for this, and now it is finally time to start living it! I wake up in the mornings, and I'm finally doing the one thing I've wanted to do more than anything else with my life. It is all a learning experience, and no matter what happens, I know I will take a lot from it. I know I have the ability to play well, compete, and win out here. I also understand that there is a heck of a lot to learn about playing the game professionally. I am going to hit that shot off the first tee, find it, hit it again, and go from there!

Wish me luck!
