It is just so hard to believe that I had the ability to compete for the US Senior Amateur. What a very cool experience! Though I did not make it to the match play round, I also did not blow up in rounds that I was as nervous as I have been in a long time. I know what it would have taken to get to the match play round and I am going to rededicate myself to golf improvement to get a chance to go back.
Two years ago when the US Senior Open came to Omaha Country Club, my home course, I had no idea just how good those guys were until In saw them up close and personal on a course I play regularly. I learned quickly what I had to do in order to get my game in shape and myself in shape. Constant short game improvement along with a consistent golf fitness workout program were keys for me to transform my game in 18 months and get to this pinnacle of golf competitions.
Now that I have been to the Senior Amateur I realize just how good the amateur game can be as well.
This next year I am going to work on continuous improvement. If there is enough interest in this process of how to get your amateur game to be as good as it can be, I will be happy to document some of the things I am doing. Just let me know below that this would be of interest to you and together we will try and figure out how to get that little extra edge over our competitors.
