Busy Couple of weeks ahead…

My parents arrive in the USA this weekend for a 2 week vacation but it will be rather busy…

On Tuesday 28th May, I move out of my lovely apartment in Asheville NC, to Raleigh to stay with my great friends Crystal & Jimmy Finnegan.

On the 29th, my parents and I will venture down to Wilmington for a few days and then on the 4th, 5th & 6th June I play in the 49th Toshiba NC Open at Irish Creek, Kannapolis, NC.

Looking for a private golf club to continue my development is proving to be a little awkward.

 

The end of a good week…

Yesterday at River Landing,  I pulled another second place finish in the Carolinas Section Assistants Association.

I have had a fantastic week with Kendra and her family at Emerald Isle in NC and to top it off my parents arrive at the weekend for a 2 week vacation.

Tournament – River Landing (Landing Course) Wallace, NC.

I am playing in the Carolinas PGA Section Assistants Association Stroke play tournament today 05/20/2013 at River Landing in Wallace NC.

I am currently lying in 2nd place on the Assistants ‘Player of the Year’ Listing and a top 3 finish here would help cement that position.

Weather is forecast to be 81 – 87 Degrees with a possibility of the odd thunderstorm… Typical afternoon weather.

Time to Reflect

Wow – Where’s Wilson?

For the Readers from England – here is a Sand Dollar

A Week at the Beach – Emerald Isle, NC

WHEN WAITING FOR DECISIONS TO BE MADE …..

The best thing in the world is to have a week away from it all with wonderful friends in a huge Beach House.

The Littlest Golfer Inc

The Littlest Golfer support has been a fantastic help over the recent couple of weeks allowing me to engage in my passion of tournament play.

Kris Wilson and his team do a wonderful job for parents and their little golfer’s.

Learning is fun, development is essential and respect is nurtured.
Growing the game and growing the talent – That’s the Littlest Golfer

89th Carolinas Open at Bryan Park….

The second round went well although we were again disrupted through weather conditions and also fading light at the end of the day. A level par 71 was achieved and -1 through 2 rounds and tied 14th.
The third and final day, the weather was excellent, not a cloud in the sky. Unfortunately, that’s all that was good about the last day. I struggled to maintain my form and ended the tournament with a +7 (78) to complete at +6 for the 3 rounds and tied 33rd.

Thanks for everyone who was involved in the tournament and for those guys I played with during the event.

Next up River Landing on the 20th May 2013.

Round 1- 89th Carolinas Open at Bryan Park CC – Greensboro NC

I began my first round yesterday at 1.30 pm after an already 2 hour delay. We were stopped twice during my first 11 holes because of thunder and stopped altogether at that stage due to poor light. Day 1 complete but only 11 holes done, however 3 under par through 11 with 4 under leading from the morning players.
Today we began at 9.30 to complete round 1 and considering an overnight break I was pleased with my 1 under finish.

Round 2 begins at 1.30 pm and I hope the thunder clouds stay away so we can get the cut done tonight, ready for a very sunny Thursday.
