Season Recap
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010Well my first season on the Canadian Tour has come to an end. I obviously did not play as well as I would have liked but I got my card back through Q School last week which was a huge relief. I played well all week, including the Platinum event on Monday and Tuesday.
The Ontario events were a bit of a dissapointment. I was looking forward to the event at Greystone because I like the golf course and thought I could do well there because it is tougher than most of the other places we play. However, I missed the cut and had another weekend off.
The next week we were at Seaforth. I played very well but had a cold putter all week. Around there you need to make 6 or 7 birdies a round to keep pace and I could not get anything going. I was pleased to play 4 rounds because it has been a while since I had made a cut and that gave me some confidence going into the Tour Championship.
The Tour Championship was a great event. We were treated very well and I was looking forward to playing some good golf. Unfortunately, I missed the cut by a few and it was a bit of the same story as the week before in Seafoth.
Overall this year was a very good learning experience. I learned some things about my game that I know I will need to improve in the off season. My putting is the main area that I am going to focus my practice. There were events that it could have saved me from missing a cut and others where it could have got me into contention. Next year I will know some of the courses better which will help in my preparation before the events. This year I felt very rushed at some events trying to prepare because I could not get on the golf course due to Pro Am’s.
This fall I am going to try PGA Tour Q School for the first time. I am excited and feel like this will be a great experience going forward. As I mentioned before I am relieved to have my Canadian Tour card back because no matter what I will have a place to play next year.
Thanks for reading and I will write more after my First Stage of Q school. Take care.
