Greenbrier Qualifiers
This week I played in the Greenbrier Classic qualifier in West Virginia.
Thursday was the Pre Qualifier and I played pretty average. I shot 73, which was enough to scrape through to the Monday qualifier. I didn't hit that many greens in regulation but was able to make a few good par saves and achieve the objective of the day which was the progress to the final qualifier on the Monday.
It is a course that I really like, a lot of tee shots fit my eye and the greens are good. So, although my play of late hasn't been up to the standard I set for myself, I was expecting to give it a good run to try and get in to the tournament.
I started off hitting 2 really good shots into the 10th (my 1st) to 12 feet. Somehow I missed a 2 foot putt after my birdie try slid by, so I walked to the 11th tee +1. 2 more 3-Putts and a bad iron shot left me at +4 through 9 and I really wasn't playing that badly.
My back 9 wasn't much better on the greens. I did make 2 birdies but I also made a quadruple bogey 8 at the par 4 6th hole. I ended up signing for a 79, obviously nowhere near the qualifying mark.
I have decided to take a little break for about 5 or 6 days or so. I did it last year and it helped. I am a little lost with what's going on in my game and my swing. I need a little time to get away from it and then come back raring to go for the summer and Q School in the autumn.
I know I will turn it around, I am capable of achieving great things but I'm not playing my game at the moment. I need a break to turn it around.
My next tournament will be the Cabarrus Classic. I'll be back and ready to compete then.
Thanks for following,
Lee
