Starfire Golf Club: Pepsi Tour – Day 2, 76

My Journey, Tournament RecapJanuary 6, 20150Comments By

Overview: Another perfect weather day today. I didn't have a good feel for my swing and only hit 3 greens out of the first 10 holes. On number 11 I had a flashback to a feeling that I have had in past tournaments in regard to my backswing and followthrough. That feeling got my swing…

Overview: I really enjoyed playing today! The weather warmed up to 70 degrees over the course of the day and the course is in great shape. It's still a very amazing feeling to be able to swing after so much time off with the shoulder issues... I'm very thankful to be out on the course…

Today was my first competitive round on a full size course in over a year. I am back to swinging full speed with no pain! I have been rehabbing my shoulder since surgery on March 28th, 2014, and over the last month I have slowly been working back to the full swing. I am very thankful…

Do you have a plan for every time you go to practice? Carrying out a simple concept during my practice sessions has helped my scores drop dramatically over the last few years. I work a little on every part of my game during every practice session. I move from chipping to pitching to full swing to…

Friday, March 28th I had surgery on my left shoulder. Dr Michael Lee performed the surgery. He trimmed up the labrum and did some work on the shoulder joint. My shoulder really responded well to the surgery and as of today, I have almost full range of motion. It's looking like I might be healed…

Over the years, all great golfers have set up with their shoulders square to the target line (the target line is the line on which they want the ball to start.) Some of these golfers set up with their feet a little open or closed, but all great golfers know the importance of setting up…

Mental Game: Enjoy the intimidating golf shots

Every round of golf usually holds at least one hole or shot that can intimidate you. Whether it's a forced carry over water, or a tee shot with out-of-bounds lining both sides of the fairway, inevitably you will face an intimidating shot. When I first started playing tournament golf, I found myself not enjoying those intimidating…

Hole #13 at Mountain Shadows Golf Club, Paradise Valley, AZ I will never forget February 7th, 2012. It was the day I made my first hole-in-one. The life events that happened that day make the hole-in-one all the more special. It was a Tuesday, and at that time I was in the habit of playing the Mountain…

It was a beautiful day. Birds were chirping, the sun was shining and I felt like I had just gotten hit by a bus. I was walking off the 4th hole of my first ever, big professional tournament and I had just made a 13. That 13 was six years ago; long before I knew the…
