2 days ago, this happened (see image). Yesterday, I made just two pars (+ 1 birdie) in 18 holes, and I was quite ready to quit golf. After a good night's rest and genuine prayers, my relationship with golf shall be altered slightly....but I won't quit. I can't quit. This is where most people have quit, do quit, and will quit. My reasoning for wanting to quit is the same reason why I'm not: I want to benefit other people. When I'm playing golf, it feels like I'm being selfish: with my time, my hands, and my knowledge. But I remind myself: I'm going through the gauntlet of the ups and downs so that I can have context from which to provide benefit, support, camaraderie, and a spirit of determination to others. Let me suffer, so you don't have to. In Jesus' name, Amen. tldr: not quitting.

Qualifier at CommonGround is tomorrow, 07/22! I will be caddying for it. Target score to qualify is probably -6 or -7. Yesterday I got paired with someone who happens to be playing in it and he asked if I was playing in it too... "Not this year..." Although I did make 3 birdies and narrowly missed 3 more...in the 9 holes I played. - 1 birdie came from a 21 foot putt on #5 (after a 360 yd. drive) - 2nd birdie came on the par 5 7th (after a 359 yd. drive), narrowly missing my eagle putt from 35' - 3rd birdie came on the drivable par 4 8th, sinking an 18 footer. So...next year is definitely on the table for a crack at the Colorado Open. Caddie applications are underway ;).

@Brandt Bodamer & co. yesterday! Pretty cool to have a 56 on the scorecard 😝. Awesome to experience a new course for the first time in a good while. Hopefully the course knowledge will help prepare me for the next time I play there...which just might be in next year's Korn Ferry Tour qualifier 👀. Blessings to all!

I’m playing in a 2-man shamble tournament tomorrow for the 4th of July. It’s my first time playing this format and don’t know many of the other players. I’m going to focus on keeping putts to a minimum, and getting up and down as much as possible. I also want to emphasize moving on from each shot 100% mentally before committing and hitting the next shot. The goal is to be mentally clear before each shot. The only way to do this is through deep breath and prayer! Happy 4th.

Shoutout to new member @Daniel Springer for joining me for 27/36 holes yesterday.
