I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their kind words of support. I have been really tied up since the Cuscowilla trip and have not been able to post very much so I hope to do better since the season is slowing down.

I am not savy enough to provide links to my former posts and link them here but I know that they helped me win this event. The last event I played in was just prior to Cuscowilla and it was the worst event I had played since 2004. My focus was poor, my alignments were off, and I was playing a game I thought I had left behind.

At the Cuscowilla event I "found" my alignments while listening to Lynn and teaching everyone there. For me, teaching is learning. After the event I read some of my former posts and notes that I keep as well as spending some time with Chris Asbell, my longtime friend, coach, and caddy.

It was very simple to discover that I had "strayed" from what got me to where I was and very easy to get back on track. Focus is easy when the alignments are well defined and easy to see.

During the tournament I felt very confident. Even during the most adverse conditions I had played in for two days, I was able to focus only on the alignments and not the results.

Anyways, it was fun to get back in the winners circle again and I can simply look to the sky and thank Homer Kelley. Compression is a wonderful thing, even with the putter on super-fast greens!
