A Short One...

This week, my plans were to travel down to Orlando and play Palisades in Clermont and West Orange in Winter Garden. So, Saturday after we closed up the feed mill and I got a bite to eat with my folks, I headed south.

I stopped along the way at my usual exit, 341 on I-75, to get gas and some golf equipment for the week and then I went on to Ocoee.

Upon arrival, I wasn't feeling to hot so I went on to bed about 6:30 PM. I ended up sleeping until 7:30 AM. For those who have read these before, you know I get up at 4:30 before a tournament, so something was wrong. So, of course, I call mom, who was a little tired since she had to drop Matt, my brother, off at school earlier to go on his senior trip to Colorado. She said it sounded like I had the flu. So I stop at Walgreens and get some medicine, and head to the course. Upon arrival, I paid my fee's and went to the range.

It was cold, but I think I got too hot too quick and to save the details, I simply withdrew from the tournament and headed north. Mr. Frank was gracious enough to refund my money, and applaud my efforts. So, I am writing you today, Tuesday morning, still sick. So, no golf this week yet. As soon as I can get some strength back, I'll be playing again. However, I plan on practicing on Thursday with Caleb and Dixon at Quitman County Club, we got a course record to break.

Sorry no golf this week, but I'll post when I decide the next tournaments will be!
Thanks for all the support!

Special thanks goes out to Mr. Bill and Mrs. Nancy Ray for the gift that will cover a tournament cost for me! Thanks so much!

In golf, when we hit a foul ball, we've got to go out there and play it.
