Ups and Downs

After having my life uprooted, and then uprooted once again. With a big hit on my psyche after being broken up with, I have found myself finding what really makes me happy... Disc Golf.

From Dallas to Phoenix and now Salt Lake City, and yet it still feels like I am on vacation. It is a weird feeling, but I know things are starting to look brighter with each passing week. Looking for work was really tough but I have found myself in a great job that is working to offer me more and more. I am very thankful and am ambitious about more opportunities to come.

Disc Golf has always been such a good outlet for me to figure things out. Getting time on the course or in a field just feels productive and natural. I was rewarded with the opportunity to play in the Mello Yello Challenge at Solitude Resort, an A-Tier event. But I had no idea I was going to be playing in the tournament until the day before it started, so I had little preparation. I didn't put in work in the field before hand, hours of putts to figure out my timing, and work on my mental game. I finished decently well but it really turned into an opportunity for me to play even more tournament golf. This is the type of golf I feel I need to get me to the next level. The next step was finding the next tournament I could play in. Cache Valley in Logan Utah was around the corner and I wasn't going to let a good opportunity pass me by. I worked and prepared and put in the right amount of hours in leading up to the tournament and came in with the right mind set to put in a good showing. After the first round I was sitting in 2nd place... I was a bit shocked but I just played smart and let myself play in the moment. And then the nerves set in... I took a few rough bounces in the second round and slipped to 6th place. I left at least 8 strokes out on the course but I feel like every player says this after a tournament. My first time playing on a lead card, it was such a good experience and now I know the feeling of pressure and composure needed to compete in every tournament I play in.

I feel like I am rambling on and not getting anywhere...

There are many things that are changing but am ready for things to continue to improve on the course and in my life in general. I am ready for the next challenge.
