FIRST TIME BREAKING PAR AND IT WAS A 69 LOL. 5 birdies and an eagle along with 4 bogeys for good measure (3 of them on par 3s). Confidence is at an all time high. Time to move back a tee box and do it again. P.S. Could have been a 64 or lower today. P.P.S. It’s a pretty unreal feeling.

This weekend I am playing my first ever professional (albeit virtual) tournament. The course is Innisbrook - Copperhead in Palm Harbor, FL. I have played two practice rounds thus far and still plenty of work to go to get ready. There's a 10 day window during which one is allowed to play the round, and it ends at 4 pm MT on February 25th. The winner of the tournament wins $50,000, and the current leader is -9 LOL. I would love to finish in the top 100 out of 500+ players, but after my practice round today I realized that it is in my best interest to release any expectations of where I finish and simply soak in the experience. It's actually happening. This is a big but early step on my journey to going all the way. Thank you to everyone here at this stage. Blessings, NRP
