Duke School of Nursing Pro-Am at St James

Hi everyone, sorry for my lack of updates lately, I have been working hard to prepare my game for the coming events in April. The weather has been great in Hilton Head, and I am getting closer to playing some proper golf.

I was invited to play in the second annual pro-am benefiting the Duke University School of Nursing. 37 teams (each with 1 professional and 3 amateurs) competed. There were plenty of prizes available for the amateurs and a small purse of $4,000 for the strong list of pro's.

I shot a very solid round of 70 (-2) in windy conditions on the tough Reserve club which was good enough to finish in a tie for 2nd place. I made a small but helpful cheque of $800, which is even better considering there was no entry fee!

My team came about middle of the pack, but I was happy with my performance on a course I have struggled on the last 2 years. My putter was hot all day, needing only 25 putts for the round.

Today was great preparation for the main event starting Wednesday on the same course. I will take a lot of confidence in the knowledge that my form is heading in the right direction.

My tee times for Round 1 and 2 are 12:40 and 8:40 respectively.

Here are my stats for the day:

Fairways: 11/14 (79%)
Greens in regulation: 12/18 (67%)
Putts: 25
Up and Downs: 6/6 (100%)

Pretty good on the short game!
