Q School Stage 1 Complete, Moving on to Stage 2

Despite the nerves that stuck around most of the day, I played another solid round today.  I hit 17 greens in regulation for the second day in a row. I birdied #3 and #6, had a bogey on the par 4 hole #9 to turn at -1.  I got one more birdie on #13 to finish with a 70 (-2).  Thank you again for everyone who was supporting me, including my Grandpa who made it out to watch my final round.

Q School Stage 1 - Round 3

I hit the ball better today, hitting 17 of 18 greens.  I had 4 birdies and no bogeys, finishing with a 68 (-4).  I felt a little bit more comfortable out there today and I hope I can go out and shoot another good round tomorrow.  I tee off round 4 at 10:40 am tomorrow.

Q School Stage 1 - Rounds 1 & 2

I am half way through stage 1 of Q School.  Thank you to everyone who has been following me online and your words of encouragement. Round 1 was a bit of a roller coaster, with 6 birdies, 4 bogeys and 2 doubles, finishing at +2.  In round 2 I teed off from hole #10 and got off to a hot start with 5 birdies on my first 9 holes.  I was putting well, which obviously contributed to my birdies.  I finished the round with 3 solid pars coming in, to finish the round at 67 (-5).
