I left at dawn and drove the 11 1/2 hours from Concord, New Hampshire to Morgantown, West Virginia. Even though it was such a long and draining drive I really enjoyed the beautiful countryside along the way. I took the evening off to rest and regain my energy for the following day to practice and play the golf course.

I really enjoyed playing the Pines Country Club. I think that it is one of the best courses that we played this year. It was in fantastic shape and was set up to where you could be aggressive and really fire at the pins. But in order to set yourself up for those shots, you have to be able to hit fairways.

Knock on wood

My driver has been a nuisance for a very long time. My miss has been a snap hook left. That miss caused 6 penalty shots for me off the tee last week in Morgantown. I was very happy to make the cut and play on Sunday but 6 shots is a giant leap from 60th to 25th place. I was satisfied with every other part of my game last week, and guess what? I made every putt within 5 feet (knock on wood). I'm putting great right now which is a huge confidence booster.

Alignment

I had a great conversation with Doc after the first round. I thought that it was necessary because of what was happening off the tee. I always knew that the main problem has been my alignment. I have been lining myself up too far to the right which will cause what I think are blocks but are actually good shots because I hit it exactly where I was aimed. And then of course, it causes the brutal snap hooks from coming too far from the inside and flipping the clubface closed.

So the main thing that Doc and I talked about was getting used to the feeling of my feet and body being lined up more left and trusting the alignment, letting go and also trusting my swing.

On Saturday, I played much better and hit a lot more fairways. I shot 75, 73 and made the cut. I had a couple more bad tee shots on Sunday for a 75. But overall, I was happy with how I played all weekend.

This week we are playing in Queenstown, Maryland at the Hunters Oak Golf Club. The greens are extremely undulated and the fairways are narrow. This week will be challenging both off the tee and on the greens. It's a shot makers' golf course but the keyword this week is TRUST. Set up to my target and trust it.

I only have 2 more weeks on tour so I am going to make the most out of the time that I have left before LPGA Q-School in late September.

Cheers,
