The way that I mentally work through a missed cut or a quadruple bogey is directly related to the truth that is stated in the following Bible verse.
"...and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and…
I am working hard on my focusing ability in tournament play. Through past experience, I know that focusing on each shot individually is my key to shooting really low scores. However, focusing intensely on the shot at hand is easier said than done.
When I am totally focused, I really enjoy the process and feeling of…
I played three tournaments in the last two weeks. You can check out the results in the "Recent Events" tab on my home page. I'm playing well and hitting lots of greens and fairways. My short game also has been great, and I know that my scoring is also coming around. I can tell I…
I shot 68 and tied for 3rd in a Pepsi Tour event at Starfire Golf Club today. It was an interesting weather day. The high was about 45 degrees and and it was windy. It rained and even hailed during the round. I made four birdies and an eagle, and missed winning by one shot.…

My wife, Jeree, and I moved to Arizona in September of 2007 so I…
Just finished my qualifying round for the PGA Tour event here in Phoenix. I shot 1 under par, 70, at Lone Tree Golf Course in Chandler, AZ. Although 67 is probably the number that will get through, I am pleased with the chances I had for birdies coming down the stretch. I hit a lot…
Day 1:
I shot one over, 73, in round one of the Pepsi Tour event on the Blue and Gold Ocotillo Golf Course in Chandler, AZ. It is a two day tournament, so I have tomorrow to look forward to. I am very happy with how I stuck to my routine even though I started off…
You are leading the tournament by one shot! On the 18th hole, you smash a drive down the middle of the fairway, and then hit a beautiful pitching wedge that hits the flag-stick only to spin back in the water. In your mind, is it a setback or an opportunity?
How do you define challenges that…
My son Nathan knows how to live life to the fullest!
How many times have you hit a shot while worrying about your scores or results? I know that I constantly have to keep my worry in check on the golf course. The emotions and thoughts while hitting a putt for triple bogey, or a tee…
