It's been a long time since my last post, so I figure I'll update everybody on what's happened since November. Since finishing Hooters Tour Ranking School I've tried to project my schedule for the summer, but I can't finalize it until I hear from Hooters Tour. They'll tell me when I start and from there I can start planning what tournaments I'll travel to. Feel free to look at the schedule online. It's been updated since the original tentative schedule.
Hooters Tour 2006 Schedule
The only other thing that has changed since November is my schedule during January and February. I had planned on playing in the Gateway Tour's Desert series, but after some thought I decided not to. One of the reasons was the cost. I would've had to pay $10,000 for only eight tournaments. This summer I'll be paying $850 per tournament for the Hooters Tour and that is a lot per tournament. Paying $1,250 per tournament seems like too much. It would've been good experience, but I can save that money for this summer in case I need it.
Besides costing too much, I decided not to play in the tour because I was burnt out and needed a little break from golf. I've always enjoyed the winter months where I can put my clubs away for a few months. It helps me get refreshed and excited about the upcoming golf season. I've taken that break and now I'm ready to go this year. If I hadn't taken a break I would be struggling in the tournaments and wouldn't be playing at my absolute best.
When I hear from Hooters Tour I'll post and try to put my schedule online for everybody to see.
Take Care,
Neil
