"Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great."
In these last two weeks I have learned so much about myself and my potential. I never thought I would say it but I am really starting to believe in myself. Although I missed the cut in my first Symetra Tour event, I made a baby step in this second event to really believe in myself and trust with confidence in my decisions on the golf course. It paid off when I felt that my ball striking is better than it has ever been. I made the cut and T-50 in the field of 144 competitors. I am still struggling slightly in the department of trust and confidence in myself as I stand over the ball but I know it will come with time the more experience I have in this tight competition. I am really beginning to see my potential and I think that is the biggest flaw I am troubled with. I need to somehow get over the fact that I have worked hard all my life to be where I am today and just believe in myself. How hard is that?! But for some reason my unnecessary negative thoughts hold me back from my full potential...
So for the next couple weeks until the next event I will really focus on the mental aspect of the game because I feel that is what separates the Symetra Tour players from the girls on the LPGA; mental stability and confidence. So here's to a successful 2014 season and to believing in myself!
