Ready for Lake Geneva

This week is a Duramed Futures Event in Lake Geneva. Follow me with real time scoring at http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/. Great tree-lined golf course with severe greens. Lets hope I putt better than I did in Corning, NY. Softer hands seems to help. A death grip on the putter wont make any putts.

After missing the cut in Corning, I was lucky enough to play in a pro-am on Saturday at another course. I wish more tournaments would offer this Saturday pro-am. Its a great way to raise extra money for charity and good for the pros pocket as well. It is sooo expensive to play in golf tournaments. Between travel expenses, hiring caddies, and health insurance...I need to start making some money. Missing cuts and $500 in winnings each week on the Futures tour is not going to cut it. One good week will change everything.

On Monday I flew to St. Louis to pick up my car and then drove to Chicago to see my Mom, sister, niece and nephew, and Guinness(my wiener dog). I had not seen Niece and Nephew since Christmas. Way too long.








This is Jack and Julia.



Tuesday evening I made my way to Lake Geneva, soo sad to leave after just one day at home.
Wednesday a.m. was a practice round... a clinic from 4-6pm...and then the pairings party that night. What a full day that was...and I was awake and alert the whole day thanks to advances in Narcolepsy research. See my web site for more information on Narcolepsy in my life. http://www.nicolejeray.net/ Oh yes, you can also make a donation to the Narcolepsy Network there. Just $10 and Ill send you an autographed picture, a sleep awareness bracelet, and now a baseball card. Help others suffering from Narcolepsy live a better life, like I do. I feel soo lucky to have a handle on it.

Leawood South CC, a hidden treasure, in Kansas City

The Duramed Futures Tour played at Leawood South CC in Kansas City, MO. By far my favorite stop ever on the Futures Tour. Great area, terrific people, and Leawood South CC is a hidden treasure. It is the kind of course that you love at first sight and then love even more when you realize how much character it has. Every hole is different and challenging, but fair. Trees everywhere, small rolling hills, narrow fairways that narrow even more in the landing areas, greens are fairly fast (about an 11) and as smooth as fine woven carpet with reasonable undulation. I have not quite figured out how to play Leawood with a low score, but I sure did enjoy every single shot. 79, 74, 78 (69th)...believe it or not there were moments of brilliance in there somewhere. Thank you to my dedicated fans for watching. I love you guys!!!

This week is the LPGA event in Corning, NY. I busted my butt to get from Kansas City, MO to Corning, NY in time to Monday Qualify. With the weather forecast of rain and cold, I thought Id never make it by 1:00pm. Well, by the time I arrived at the club, I was in the tournament field. Yeah!!!!!!!! Good things are going to happen soon, so hang in there with me.

Miracles happen...Im writing a blog!!

Hi Everyone:

Its been ages, 5 tournaments on the Futures and one LPGA event since my last blog. Better late than never!! If you have not been following, my best finish on the Futures thus far is 16th, Ive made every cut but one, and missed the cut in the LPGA event in Morelia, Mexico. I am making progress with my ball striking and also realized Ive been thinking way too much. I also had a major breakthrough in my putting. Ill fill you in on the details as I roll more putts in the hole.
Next tournament is US Open qualifying and Kansas City Futures event. It wont be long before I start winning again.

For my Narcoleptic fans. Ive been doing interviews here and there to help raise awareness to Narcolepsy. The more involved I am, the more I realize how important it is to get the word out about Narcolepsy. I am able to function very well despite this crazy, debilitating disorder. It has taken me years, many doctors, many medicines, many trials and tribulations to figure out how to deal with Narcolepsy. I hope to influence others with Narcolepsy to keep searching for ways to feel better and sleep better. Also, the world needs to be aware of what Narcolepsy really is in order to prevent a wrong diagnosis or even going undiagnosed.
Driving in between tournaments, I like to listen to talk shows on my Sirius Satellite radio. A very lost, sad women called in to the "Medical Intuitive" desperate to find an answer to her symptoms. She had been to many doctors and they could not find anything wrong. This was her last hope, a psychic on radio, Mel Robbins. One of her troubling symptoms was sudden muscular paralysis, fall limp to the floor, but she could hear and know what was going on around her, but just could not move. As most of us in the Narcolepsy world know, this is cataplexy. I called in and eventually got on live. Hopefully this woman will find help to manage her life. Mel Robbins, the medical Intuitive was on the right track with the woman. Mel was talking about sleep and sleep study. Maybe there is something to that Psychic stuff...interesting.

Here is a recent article from the El Paso newspaper.
