"It has rained here since I arrived from Ohio yesterday afternoon," said Peter after hitting balls in that rain on the driving range. "I haven't been able to get onto the course but I am told the rough is long and thick and the course very wet." 

It is a golf course that Peter has enjoyed playing in the past and one on which he has performed well. "I really like the style of the golf course and I am sorry that I have been unable to get out and get a feel for this conditions we will face tomorrow. I needed to work on my driving after last week's effort and spent some time on the range today trying out a few things in that regard. I feel like my iron play has been alright and my putting reasonable but my driving is letting me down."

Peter missed out on a place at the US Open in Sectional Qualifying earlier in the week. "I was disappointed to miss but I was again struggling with the driver. The first of the two courses was very tight and I managed keep things together until late in the round where I made a couple of silly bogies. The in the second round on the other course I birdied the 8th, 9th and 12th to get to three under and so I felt if I could pick up a couple more I could sneak in. I picked up one more but also bogeyed one of the last few holes and so that was it."

The missed event next week will see Peter change his schedule a little over the next few weeks. "I will head back to Orlando next week and take two weeks off before playing in Hatford at the Buick Championship then I will play the Western then the British Open."
