A Season To Remember
The official golf season has ended and I have to say my year was fun, at times a struggle, but mostly fun.
For the first time, I played the Missouri Golf Association, Senior Series Tour, and it was a great experience.
I met a lot of good people and had the opportunity to play with really good golfers and former college athletes. The venues were formidable, and the MGA staff treated us like royalty.
I had the chance to experience a bit of what the tour life is all about. I traveled the state, staying in hotels, paying my own entry fees, and playing some of the most iconic venues in Missouri.
I played 13 tournaments and ended up tied for 8th place for the regular season. This achievement earned me an invitation to the Tour Championship on my first year participating. I finished T-8th to cap a great 1st season.
I also had the opportunity to play in the Missouri Amateur Golf Association, 2022 Senior Amateur, and it was a great opportunity. I did not do as well as I wanted to, but it was fun and met really good people on the way.
One of my best accomplishments in the 2022 season was to shoot my first even par 72 score at my home course. That was an amazing experience, and I was lucky to have share it with really great friends.
The second one was to hit my first 300+ (306 yd) yard drive at our Men’s Club Championship. I guess all my gym work and speed training finally paid off.
Now that the season is over, it is time to regroup and reassess the season. I have already setup my practice area and I am ready to tackle the winter work.
I am looking forward to next season. I hope you had a great season and wish you a better 2023 season.
