As the season slowly winds down, the final tally is 1 out of 3. No club champ, no invitational win, but I qualified for the Atlantic Cup.
I’m going to be honest: I'm really happy to have qualified for the Atlantic Cup🏆 for the first time. But outside of that, I’m frustrated, I’m annoyed, and it stings.
For the last two years, I did many things right. My clubhead speed, ball speed, accuracy, and stamina are all way up. I put a lot of work in during the off-season to get to this point. On paper, I hoped this would be the year.
The reality?
Club Champs: Shot an effortless 67 on Day 1 to be tied for the lead. On Day 2, I shot an 80.🫠
Kenrick Cup: Shot a 75 in easy conditions. On Day 2, sitting 30th with nothing left to lose, I shot a bogey-free 67 in brutal winds to finish T4 (with only 4 fairways hit).😅
This is a message I share with my athletes on a regular basis: high performance isn't linear, and hard work doesn't guarantee an immediate outcome—it simply increases the odds in your favour over time. But living it on the course ⛳this season was a humbling reminder that it’s always easier said than done. 🤷
When things don't go according to plan, the real challenge is staying patient and taking pride in the effort itself. The discipline, the reps, and the foundation built this year didn't disappear just because I wasn't able to lift a trophy.
Being able to stay patient is a skill in and of itself, especially when you're playing well enough to have high expectations.😌
Thank you Anne for always cheering me on 💜, Austin for listening and making sense of my venting about my swing, Melissa for encouraging me to hydrate more on the course and Chad for always encouraging me to continue working out!
