BLOG 8-13

The last 5 weeks has gone by quickly. I played four weeks in a row starting in Pella, IA and ending in Chicago at the Illinois Open. Overall I have been pleased with the way the last month has gone. I played alot of solid golf where the only thing missing for some great golf was a few breaks here and there. The Waterloo Open was a fun experience and with only two rounds, a cut after the first round, I learned quickly that pars were not going to make the cut. I never got much going and failed to make the cut after a first round of 75. While in Waterloo I stayed at Abby and Jon Skrivseth's house, Ali's sister and brother-in-law, and Jon came out and caddied for me in the first round. Although it was a short weekend, we still had a good time and I was greatful for their hospitality.

After the Waterloo Open, I headed south to Cedar Rapids to play at Hunters Ridge in the Greater Cedar Rapids Open. I have always enjoyed playing "Hunters" and have a few good memories from playing tournaments there when I was at Ambrose. I opened with a solid round of 70 but followed that up with a up and down 75, but still squeaked in the cut line to play in the final round. I put together a good final round to finish in a tie for 23rd. The weekend in Cedar Rapids was fairly relaxing, I had a chance to meet up with an old St. Ambrose Teammate, Andy Kahl. Andy and his Fiance let me stay at their condo in Cedar Rapids for the weekend, it was nice to have a place to stay while I was in the area.

A week after the Cedar Rapids Open I played in one of my favorite tournaments of the summer, The Illinois Open. The Illinois Open is a tournament that I have played in four years now but never finished higher than 30th. This year I really felt good heading into the week and was hoping for big things at the Glen Club in Glenveiw, IL. However, mother nature had a different idea for the week and play was suspended three times during the tournament. Due to all the rain that the course had gotten in a two day stretch they actually had to shorten the 54-hole tournament to a 36-hole tournament cutting the field of 162 to 78 after the first round. The course played long and extremely wet, but still very score-able for the field. I was very happy with my play over the two days and had very little miscues throughout the tournament. I opened with a even par 72 and fi nished with a one under 71 which proved to be the 11th best score of the final round. I would have liked to say that I finished higher in everyone of the last four tournaments, but regardless I am still happy to say that I made the cut in 3 of the 4 and had a top 5 finish in there as well.

I need to thank so many, who have been so supportive over the summer months. Just last week in Chicago, I stayed with friend Nick Stripling and my Cousin, Dr. Carrie Dunphy, who will be getting married this spring. They gave me keys to their place and let me come and go as I pleased. Nick even took a half day to carry my bag for round one, and cooked some killer spaghetti for dinner. Thanks also to Joe Kreeger who came out on his vacation to carry my bag in round two and play Yahtzee with me during the rain delays. We made the most of some long boring hours of hanging out at a golf course.

Also, I would like to thank the staff at Davenport Country Club for giving me the time off to play in these tournaments. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to play in events in the Midwest, that are close to home.
