KCLeo12 2019 Tournament Progress Thread

[KCLeo12]

First I want to thank all of you for the support through last year. I had some great success and some frustrating defeats. I made great strides in my swing and mental toughness and I still have a long way to go.

This thread will be where I post my schedule and prep for the upcoming season, you can also follow on instagram @KCLeonardGolf. I have a very busy schedule this year with more high level tournaments than I played last year. I will be playing the VGA again this year. I have the SCGA Mid-Am, US Mid-Am, All Navy Tryouts, All Armed Forces(if I make All Navy), I plan on playing in 2 city Am events as well.

First up is the SCGA Mid-Am qualifier on March 18th. I played my first practice round on the course yesterday and will be playing another in a few weeks.

Well I may hae just worm myself out. I spent 12 hours in a car and played 72 in 3.5 days. I played two tournaments and in both I started strong and the wheels fell of on the back 9. I shot 77 in both rounds and finished 2nd and 3rd.

Monday I have my SCGA Mid-Am qualifier so I am taking today off and then seeing my coach tomorrow. Going to put in some short game work this week and then play another practice round.

First big tournament of the year was a learning experience. I hit 3 balls OB by a total of 12ft. I made 2 doubles and 2 triples on my first 9 holes. I was +11 through and finished at +12. I am looking at the positives. I was able to keep my composure and pull myself together when I wanted to give up. I chipped and putted great. I only hit 4 greens and had 27 putts. I have another tournament Saturday and I will be ready to win.

Sorry about the bad round, but glad to hear you're focusing on the positives. What was the cause for OB - shot selection, bad strike, or just plain old bad luck?

Best of luck Saturday!

I was able to get the Win this weekend. I started off really well but just missed some birdie and eagle putts. Then the wind picked up and it got tough the winds were blowing 15-25mph. I held it together and finished with a 74 which was a 4 shot victory. No tournaments for about 5 weeks but I will be grinding to get better.

Thanks. Looking forward to the next tournament at the end of April.

Right now I am focusing really hard on my fitness and body. I haven’t even swung a club in 2 weeks.

Fitness is key! Remember to stay well-hydrated, too
