Hello everyone!
So, I looked at my calendar the other day and realized… it has almost been a month since I last touch a club! Since I’ve been home from Florida, I took some much needed personal time and was able to clear my head and focus on some other things for a change.
The past several weeks have been a complete learning experience for me. I had to figure out how to pick myself up and deal with my negative emotions for a game that my entire life I have loved passionately. It even took me several days to talk to other people about their games! Haha! Sorry guys!
But, I can now stand here and say that I’ve made some drastic realizations and even more important decisions. Yes, the game of golf took a cheap shot at me while I wasn’t looking….yes, for a short period of time I hated to even think of the four letter word “golf”… and yes, I’ve seriously considered flying back to Florida to throw my clubs in the 17th pond! But when it comes right down to it, yes, I still love this game and know that given a little time away, I will come back a better, stronger person, and a much better competitor.
So for now, I’ve decided to start a new job that will help to at least pay the bills, and take me into the New Year with new excitement for what is to come. I am planning on joining up with the Cactus Tour next year and see where it takes me. I am also planning a trip down to Palm Springs with my family at the beginning of December. Who knows? Maybe I’ll come back having had an epiphany! Stranger things have happened….I guess I did end up getting that famous phone call from the Golf Channel while selling a porcelain rooster to my neighbor! We’ll see, only time can tell!
For now, thank you everybody for staying in touch and I will look forward to keeping you all informed as I continue on this journey I call, “The life of a struggling professional golfer.”
