Hi Guys!
Most of you don't know me. I've been a CC dweller since I started the tour back in October. It took me a long time to climb up to CC-A (currently on exemption there) and it looks like I will finally be earning my CC-A card this week going by the scores that have been reported. In fact, I may even get an exemption to Web at the same time if my scores hold up.
To help prepare for my possible promotion to the bigger times, I played this week's Web tourney just for fun. Based on my 4 round score (easily made cut and currently T6 on PC leader board) it looks like I can compete in this tier should I be lucky enough to make it.
And this all got me thinking. You know what they say. Be careful what you wish for.
To be honest, after the first 2 rounds of this week's course, which was easy up to that point (19 under) I was reminded how brutal Web can be when the high winds and max firm greens kicked in. Combined with no light rough, I shot 1 under and 4 under the last 2 brutal rounds to finish 24 under for the tourney. But make no mistake about it. Those last 2 rounds were NOT fun.
And I am sure this was an easy week.
Point is, I'm not so sure I'm going to be happy up here. With having to make the cut each week and possibly only getting in 2 rounds of golf, I know there is going to be a part of me that's going to miss the non pressure of the CC tour.
In short, I have very mixed feelings about all of this. At one time, this wouldn't have even been a concern because I really sucked, but suddenly, Web is a whisker away and it scares the crap out of me.
I'm not looking for any validation or pep talks or even somebody to tell me I'm right to be worried about moving up, as I've heard horror stories of guys who failed miserably up here for a very long time. No, I just needed to get this out of my system because the day is approaching unless I totally fall apart and start shooting like I did 7 months ago. Did I mention that I really sucked?
Anyway, now that I have gotten that out of my system, I will bid you all adieu until I arrive here officially.
Whenever that day comes.
