WRXer Plays In First Professional Tour Event!!!

[goobers80]

Just a couple shots worse than the first round , which i am okay with given all that nonsense. I feel like things are getting more comfortable at this level.

That is crappy the way some people are, she is only threatened that you are better then she is at golf.

Yes the divas that are out there, dont mind them and dont worry about what comes out of their mouth. none of that means anything unless they are working with you, or you working for them.

I was just wondering yesterday about you - hadn't seen any posts from you in a long time then just happened to click on the LPGA section and saw this. Like so many here I am really glad to see you competing and grinding through everything... you're a determined woman and kudos to you.

I chose not to try for any Symetra tour status this year. I only have three full years of trying tournaments at any level. This is my first try at this level on a regular basis. I just did not want to spend that much only to struggle. Unless weather interferes these are 3 guaranteed rounds of golf. I am nots sure i would have made a cut in the few Symetra events i would have been in. I still have some swing work ands all around tuning ups. I did not play junior golf , high school , or college. I literally just left the driving range five years ago to play a round of golf for real. It is stupid hard to compete at higher levels. One thing i have noticed is you do not have to hit it solid or have a short game to score okay. They all seem to play it way forward ands pick or sort of scoopy hit it to get it up. They have had their swing for the entire time golfing , so they can be consistent with any flaws. I just wonder how high their ceiling is with these games.

Good luck, Sammy!

 

We're still pulling for you. You have a great attitude. Stay focused on making small improvements every day.

As of right now you woulds not love to watch me play. I am a Ranger Rick as Tiger called himself. On the course i am a bunch of anxiousness. I am too quick ands my swing is so out of order. On the range it is almost perfect at times for me.

Hey Sammy:

 

You are only one short step from having it all in sync again. Keep up the good work and hope you are playing well this week.

Practice on ands off the course has been encouraging , but hopefully it carries over a little next tournament.

[ironmikes]

keep plugging away , sounds like you are getting there. you have all of us behind you . trust yourself !

Found this thread while procrastinating badly at work & checked out the related WITB thread.

 

That's some serious customization, I love the amount of character rather than everything just being blah, boring stock stuff. Do you know where you are playing this season?

[goobers80]

I was just playing in Florida on what used to be the Suncoast Tour. I have one more event before i go home back to amateur events. I have grown a lot down here. I have not been too focused on scores , but this last tournament i put a solid 27 holes together in a row. I actually felt like i belonged finally. My swing is starting to come together also. The back nine of today's final round gots weird , because i was given higher scores than i had. In the scoring area , they both went against me so i caved but double backed ands No Carded because i was not okay having the wrong score being posted.

 

I am surprised at how much BS goes on in tour events These cliques gang up on peoples ands nothing can be done. I am glad to be going home after the next event. I am still a amateur , but i have learned a lots about golf ands how i handled this alone. I also learned score does not always tell the full story in golf. You can play good golf with bad scores. I am not not there yet to turn professional , so back to amateur things.

Mini-Tours are notorious for BS.....

 

Wishing you continued good luck!

It is going well ands i am hitting the ball with nice consistency. I shot three under in a tournament this week. I played in the US Amateur qualfier yesterday ands for 14 holes i was in. The other four holes cost me 11 shots though. Really made me think i needs to be more aware of where i want the ball to end up with my misses. I put myself in spots where i was dead. Some of those bunkers and rough were at least 6-8 below the hole. I did hit a rock under my ball in a bunker though and that cost me. I should never have been near it though. I would put my putting ands wedge parts up against the best now. Tee shots are fine , but i just need to manage approach shots better now.

I love your analysis of the parts of your game, especially where you discuss being aware of where the ball will end up with a missed shot, and managing approach shots. Just great! :)

Don't forget, those of us at the WRX are rootin' for ya !!!

[wmblake2000]

This is so exciting to watch happen ... it's like Sammy grew up in front of us.

[DivinDave]

Hi Sammy,

I hope you had a good year and wish you the best in 2018

[Halebopp]

I'm joining Dave in hoping you're doing well and wishing you the best for 2018! :)

It's been a couple of years since I've posted here, but yesterday I saw a Facebook post by Geoff "Slicefixer" Jones of one of his students. Beautiful and powerful swing. Really loads the shaft in transition. Then I realized it was Sammy! She just won the New Jersey Women's Mid-am by 12 shots and is in the round of 16 for the Am!

Let's see if this works:

Wonder why she quit posting? Although I know a few people got kind of nasty with her before knowing her story.
