Well, my decent play has continued during my trip to Atlanta. I had 2 top 10's, and hit the ball great. I finished 9th in the first event with scores of 69-72-74, and T6 in the second one with scores of 73-70-73. I kept it in play nicely on 2 very tight courses, and putted well but didn't make much. I have averaged 70.75 my last 12 competitive rounds, and my confidence remains high.

I was able to stay with Steph's sister Andy and her family while down there, and it made things very nice. I also spent some time with my sister Jill who was in Atlanta for a baseball tournament. My nephew Andrew has been playing down there all summer, and it was great to see them as well as my niece Amanda. They actually are now in Winston for another tournament, so they are with us for a few days.

I also saw a few fraternity brothers while in Atlanta, Dave Yealy and Reggie Blackburn. We played at CC of the South where Dave is a member, and we had a great time.

I am off next week and then will be playing in the NC Senior Open at Tanglewood August 7-9. I think it is time to break through and win one against my senior peers! I am ready, and this will be a great chance to make something happen.

Stephen plays in the Forsyth County tournament next weekend, and I am looking forward to watching him play. He went with one of the assistants at Forsyth to play in a Pro-Junior last week and won a pair of new ECCO shoes by finishing 2nd. His game is shaping up, and playing in the Forsyth will be a great experience.

Lots of practice planned between now and Tanglewood, and I will report back after that event!
