I have a GC Am Tour (Golf Channel Amateur Tour) Tournament tomorrow and I was just poking around the Golf Digest website trying to find some tips in preparation for tomorrow.

I did play this year on the Golf Channel Am Tour and I did win this year! I was very excited about the win and I really hope I can find more time in the coming months and next year to really focus on my game. I am happily down to a 14 index again which is very exciting.http://pinkpanthergolfnerd.blogspot.com/2012/11/hi-everyone-i-know-i-havent-written.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Andrea)12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451071332828109189.post-3181310420007067478Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:41:00 +00002012-04-26T14:41:22.534-07:00 I love Paula Creamer so I had to post this video of her giving driving tips at the LPGA Tournament in Mobile.

The greens were really fast today which I am normally not afraid of, but the fact that the practice putting green was so slow it was hard to get use to the fast pace which lead to a very frustrating putting day.
