GOLFING LETTER FROM AMERICA



By PAUL CORMACK

It has been too long since my last report and I apologise. 
As I hear that the weather back in Aberdeen has been less than adequate for golf, I will not bore you with stories of hot and humid days here in the U S of A.
This week I am in Mobile, Alabama for an NGA event called the TimberCreek Classic. I played here last year so I know the course. The last few days I have just been familiarising myself with certain tee shots and the speed of the greens.
I believe they have had some rain (that dreaded word)  as the greens are slow and bumpy. Very familiar to those of you who have played at your in-land courses this year I am sure.
One or the other (either slow or bumpy) you can stand, both leads lack of putts being holed. So finding a lot of greens in regulation is a must this week.
This will be my third to last event on the NGA Tour this year as I will be heading back to Scotland for first stage of European Tour School at the Roxburghe.
So hopefully we can get some dry weather before and when I am at home. I will then return Stateside for the last year of US PGA Tour qualifying. So it is a big few months ahead.
I feel my game has been in a great shape this year and the plan is for the hard work that has been put in to climax at the end of the year. I feel mentally ready for the Q School.
I'll be the first to admit that I have been a bit apprehensive at this time of year. The work that has been put in at the golf course and away from it in the gym and mentally etc has me calmer and more confident in the processes I am going through. 
Hopefully when I am home I can get to play some links golf. Watching the Open last week has made me crave that hard sea breeze and firm fairways. Although they may not be so firm this year.
I hope everyone is well and getting some kind of golf in. I will be sure to be in touch again before I land back in Bonnie Scotland.
Regards from a hot and humid (couldn't resist) Alabama.

Paul Cormack
