17th green at
Green Mountain National Golf Course.

Of course we all know from Tuesday that practice make perfect. But that still does not mean that someone else has not practiced more.

Yesterday I played my second match in the presidents cup elimination tournament at Green Mountain National. It will be my last for this year, as I was eliminated. Congratulations to Mike Schley.

We had a great match going. Standing on the 15th tee we were all square; both of us playing respectable games of golf. But that was to change. From the 15th tee, I proceeded to hit my ball into the hazard on the left over the fairway bunker. I then followed that up with a 3 putt on the 16th green for a bogey, leaving me 2 down with 2 to play. I had one chance, which was to birdie the par 3 17th. I lipped the cup on an 18 foot birdie attempt, with a tap in par. Mike 2 putt and got his par, and it was done. He beat me 2 and 1 to advance to the next round (to play Jason Evans from the Wobbly Barn).... Congratulations Mike!
