As I watched the underâ€"par scores being posted one by one and sweated out whether my excellent Friday round of 70 would overcome Thursday‘s mediccre 76 and make the cut for the first tighe this year, thisquesfionwuaakedwandfiwnby some of the tour rookies as they watched the scores with me. This week‘s Canadian tour stop was at the Morningstar International Golf Course in Parksville, B.C. on Vancouver Island. The course is about the same length as Deer Ridge in Kitchener, measuring approx. 7,050 yds. For those who have played Deer Ridge, from the gold tees, the comparâ€" isons stop with the yardage. On the west coast of B.C., the ball just doesn‘t go as far. The heavy air at sea level combined with soft, dampish fairways makes the 7,050 yds. play more like 7,500 yds. Missing the cut by one stroke is one of toughest things a struggling touring professional has to deal with. It‘s a particularly lonely feeling when you are so far from home, money is tight and your support system of friends and family are not there. It was agonizing Friday night in my hotel room as I could not stop recalling in my mind the three putts from 15 feet on #10 and the missed birdie putts from the 6â€"8 foot range on on #5, #6, #16 and #18, any one of which would have qualified me for the weekend‘s play â€" and a pay cheque.

I hit many excelâ€" lent shots under pressure to give me those missed birdie opportunities. I did manage to shoot 2 under par without the benefit of holing a putt over 4 feet long. My overall game is close to where I want it to be. The last step is solving the putting under presâ€" sure jitters. As I wrap up this column from the ferry as it enters Horseshoe Bay, the view is glorious. The bluffs of the University of British Columbia are to the south, the skyline of Vancouver highlighted by lateâ€"day sun is to the southeat and the Sea to Sky Highway on the mountains that lead to Whistler fills the front windows at the front of the ship. Just another one of the many beautiful places I‘ve been lucky enough to visit. Speaking of lucky, I feel very fortunate right now for the small group of sponsors that help me cover some of my expenses. So far I‘ve earned $350 since I left Waterloo while it will take my accountant a week to assess the mountain of expenses l"ve incurred over the last 7 weeks. By the way, Jeff Bloom of Seattle birdied the first playoff hole to beat Jim Rutledge of Victaria.
