Nationwide Tour - Valdasta GA

Its been an interesting last couple days. Yesterday I shot 65 in a Nationwide Tour Monday qualifier to gain entry into this weeks event in Valdasta, Georgia. I am so happy and excited to finally make my first PGA Tour sanctioned event. It has always been a dream of mine and now I can finally compete amongst some of the best players in the world. Yesterday I played great from start to finish, which included an eagle on my 18th hole to get in one under the number (and avoid a big playoff). I was very proud with the way I handled myself during that whole round.

Today I played a practice round at the Kinderlou CC, which is where the tournament is being held. I played with Tyler Leon a friend from the hooters tour who also qualified, Willie Wood a long time PGA Tour veteran and Vance Veazy who won the first Nationwide event of the year and is 2nd on the money list. It was such a fun day and I can't wait to get out there Thursday at 230 and get going. I had a blast all day which included some time in the Cleveland Tour van which was so amazing. It is amazing how detailed and how precise tour players equipment is. These guys who work the van's are highly skilled technicians. It was all just a dream.

Thanks for Checking in and I'll keep you all posted with this weeks events,

Dahlonega, GA

Happy Easter,

I am now in Dahlonega Georgia playing in a Nationwide Tour Qualifier. Since my last post I have been playing some good golf. I shot 8 under in the Ocala Open, didn't have a great placing but played great. It was the first week I used my new Rife belly putter. It feels great, and I am excited to keep using it.

I had a few weeks off and took a trip down to Naples, FL to play some golf with my aunt Pat. We had a blast and were fortunate to meet one of my sporting heroes Tim Wakefield, and new Red Sox pitcher John Smoltz, was very exciting.

The weather for tomorrow doesn't look pretty, we are supposed to get up to 1 to 2 inches of rain. So there is a chance we will be playing on Tuesday. I am playing great and am excited to get out on the golf course. Stay posted!

Go Sox's,

Keegan
