There a handful of B and C tier tournaments coming up, and I find myself wanting to play in each one. I feel if I want to take a step in that direction it would be for good, but at the same time a part of me wants to continue to develop my game with more practice.
The last tournament I played in I had been diagnosed with the Influenza two days before the start. So I didn't feel as confident going in as I could have been. I felt like it was going to be a good choice with Texas showing some of its nicer weather of the year, but in good old Texas fashion it went from 80 degrees to 40s and 50s within a day. It was a wet weekend and with already being sick my focus couldn't stay on the course and my play. With all of that I decided to drop which is something I never would do but I honestly couldn't put out my best golf in my condition.
I feel as if I need to get on a solid run of playing consistent golf, lately that hasn't been the case. I have played some incredible rounds and some awful rounds, but I do feel everything is moving in the right direction. Learning to handle and mange the rounds that are not going my way and try and make them positive. Taking things shot by shot and learning to forget a bad break and just continue to play. Maybe a bit more time and playing in smaller competitive play would help me develop before I immerse myself into playing in a string of tournaments. At the same time what better way to learn than dive in and test myself, I either crumble and learn or I rise to the occasion and ride that high. This is my dilemma and soon enough I will be trying to play a tournament at every weekend but we will see. Gotta keep throwing and practicing to get where I want to be.
