See, Feel, and Trust.

After an uninspired second round I arrived at the course early to prepare for "moving day" on Thursday. Tour players affectionately name the next to last round "moving day" because players jockey for position going into the final round. Most of the players teeing off in the afternoon found things to complain about. I found it slightly humorous: "It's going to take at least five and a half hours to play today..." "It's gonna be so hot today..." These people are playing in the afternoon because they're in the upper portion of the field, and poised to easily go on to the next level if they just focus and get to work.

As I went through some early swipes on the practice tee I found myself looking for a swing thought that I could take to the course. This is when I remembered a book I recently read by Dr. David Cook called "Golf's Sacred Journey" In the book the main character, a professional golfer, is at the end of his rope when a man comes into his life and teaches him not only how to get his golf game in order, but his life as well. He teaches him to See, Feel, and Trust all of his decisions. I decided that I would take this philosophy to the course rather than a swing thought. I know I have the game to hit any shot out there, I just need to be committed to my decisions.

I marked my golf ball with "SFT" as done in the story and proceeded to shoot a two under par 70 highlighted by an electrifying eagle on the 565 yard par five 6th hole. I definitely made a move in the right direction this moving day as I am now tied for 5th place with just the final round remaining. So here's what is probable for tomorrow: It will probably be another slow round. It will probably be hot again. Now here's what I know about tomorrow: I will tee off at 11:55. I will See, Feel, and Trust every shot. And I will be wearing orange...
