Perspective

Tina recently put some really profound thoughts into my head, earlier this year I had tournaments where my performance was a success when I averaged out to a 4 digit rating. I would be happy with being above my rating no matter what, so why would I be so upset when did average these things but unfortunately missed cash? It doesn't make sense to beat yourself up when you are doing things that are above where you are. Now I understand that the potential of what could be is higher, but our ratings are what they are because that is what we have done over the past year. I need to not think about any of this and just let the game happen, trust that no matter what I can handle any situation because of the hard work I have been putting into this game.

I have had some conversations with players that have a better grasp on the mental side of the game and they also have helped me think about what needs to change. Paul Oman reminded me that I have all the necessary skills to do anything in this game, I just have to let the game happen no matter what. Nate Perkins told me that I need to worry less about the adverse situations I may end up in. Jonathan Ray told me that I need to not worry about what other players think of me, and to keep working hard and to be me. I believe that these things all have incredible ways to help me push forward in my game. It's not about being a 4 digit player or anything like that it's about working hard to become the best player I can be. Stop allowing the wrong thoughts in and pushing forward with my game. I am thankful that these guys have helped me realize that there is more I can be doing.

I am very lucky to have such a great support system through friends, family and sponsors. I feel like I have more to say but I just needed to put this to writing so I can have something to look back on. I am constantly looking to improve in every way I can. I feel like this step will be the biggest step of my career if I can figure it out. Thanks to everyone for their continued support!

More fun times are ahead, we will be up in my favorite place soon for the Green Mountain Championships. I am excited to just soak it all in and do my absolute best. Plus Tina and I will begin planning our wedding so it will be nearly impossible to not have the best time!

Tina and I are always looking for ideas for new videos, what would you like to see? Is there a topic that you would like us to cover?

Keep those Putter Pants on and keep having the Most Fun!
