"Tell us about your Tournament Day routine and if you carry any lucky charms?
My tournament mornings start off with some music to get me movin and groovin on the way to the course. I like to get there at least an hour before. I'll sit in my vehicle and try to clear my mind and picture how I wanna take the course on that day. After getting a gameplay for the day I hit the putting green for a few putts, not taking too much from my putting practice just feeling a decent release. I'll try to get a few holes in on my way to whatever starting hole I'm on. I don't usually carry many snacks but I'll usually always have a Gatorade in the holder. My lucky charm is a Treasure Of The Forest mini I bought years ago"
"When you play a new course for a tournament what is your plan of action. Play it blind, walk some holes, get the details from a card mate? Tell us how you attack a new course.
If I have time the day before I’d like to get a practice round in before the tournament. If not, I don't really mind playing a course blind, I do play a little safer but things seem to always work out better than I anticipate. I actually threw my first 1000 rated round playing a course “blind”"
