The Rockbarn Champions Tour pre-qualifier was Friday at Brushy Mountain G. C. I continued my putting woes and shot 79 with 38 putts. It took 71 to advance to the regular qualifier. Definitely do-able. I had been putting well, and got off to a terrible start with a short miss for birdie at the first hole and then consecutive 3-putts at 2 and 3. I ended up the day with only one birdie, and 3-jacked the last hole for good measure. I guess you can tell I am a little fed up with my putting. I go through spells where I putt like Tiger, and have spells where I putt like Helen Keller! It is maddening.

Next on tap is the SAS pre-qualifier in Durham on the 19th. I am going to Tennessee next weekend to work with a pro that my buddy Glenn Funk knows, so I plan on making the best of that situation and hopefully get some confidence.
