change course golf help life means mold positive taken
In this case, golf is a means to an end. We can't change the course that someone's life has taken in the past, but through golf we can help mold that life and give it a more positive feeling.

asked
As long as I have a chance, that's all I've ever asked of myself.
few holes knew last needed strong today
I had my chances. I didn't have my putts on the last few holes and I am disappointed. I knew I needed to play strong today and didn't play well.
beat golf good hit putting short shots
I hit a lot of very good golf shots this week. I'm not going to beat up my short game, but I had some putting difficulty. But I'm not complaining.
ball coming days driving easier either eliminate few good green helps hitting last left missing perhaps seems short side silly sort
Overall, two very good days hitting the ball. It seems like I'm either doing things very, very well or doing some silly things, missing the green perhaps on the short side and driving the ball well out of play, missing some easier putts than one would think you would miss. At 7-under, I feel like I've left a few out there, but at the same time, coming in with two birdies on the last two holes, sort of helps eliminate some of that.

Probably one of the best ball-striking days I've had this year. If I continue to strike the ball like I did and improve my putting, I think I'll be right in there.

He's done, unfortunately, what I was afraid he was going to do. He came right off the regular tour. There is an intensity level that you still have to have, and to see what he can do with a ball on a putting green ...
abandoned ball continue couple good hit last patient putter putting roll style tried
(Friday), the putter abandoned me early, and I never got it back. I went to a little different putting style. And I did roll the ball much better. I had more opportunities. I tried to be a little more patient and continue to hit good shots. Eventually, you're going to make a couple even if you don't putt well. That's what I did the last couple of holes.

I think if I had to point to one thing this week that was the most rewarding and heartwarming, it was meeting Jacques and coming to appreciate the struggles that he and his family have been through,
