I have been working on creating a website to keep you all updated on my progress on tour. From now on I will keep you updated on this new website.
https://sites.google.com/site/thomascampbellgolf/
The website is pretty basic for now, but when I get more photos, videos, and other links it will begin to look more professional.
On the website I will post my results, photos, and videos, and have provided many other links related to my golf progress. I will keep you updated regularly on the blog section on the site.
Since posting my last Blog I have really struggled to score. My ball striking has been great, and I have been giving myself very realistic chances to contend in every event. However my putting has really been letting me down having between 33-37 putts a round and the putts have been from short range. I decided it was time for a change. I am usually pretty stubborn and like to stick with a certain putter, but I have decided change will be a good thing. I purchased an Odyssey Backstryke Blade Putter. It looks very different from the tradition style putter, but it really forces me to get my hands forward at address, which is something I have really struggled with. I have spent plenty of time practicing my putting this week and the ball rolls so much better.
My next event on the NGA Tour (Formerly Hooters) begins on Thursday in Seneca, South Carolina.
Make sure to follow my progress on my new website from now on as I will not be updating this blog as regularly.

Killearn Classic Begins Tomorrow!!
The official start to the 2012 NGA Tour season begins tomorrow.
After three practice days in Tallahassee on the course I can say I am as ready as I can be to begin. I love the greens and the course has a nice layout.
I am very excited to again play in a well conducted 72 hole golf event finally walking and without the use of range finders.
Since the end of October I have not played a single round of golf as all the events required players to ride. I can't stand riding in carts because I always feel rushed, lazy, and you have to take in consideration where the other guy riding in the cart hits the ball so It has been great to walk around the course over the past three days.
My tee time tomorrow is 748am so the goal is to shoot a low score in the morning for everyone to chase.
Results can be followed at this link.

Beginning of NGA Tour 2012
The time has come for the NGA Tour (Formerly Hooters Tour) to begin tomorrow. I am excited to be fully exempt for the tour this year and compete for higher purses along side many great players. The NGA Tour is the third best golf tour in America behind the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour.
I feel that the last couple of months preparation for the tour went great playing in small events getting the game play sharp and practicing hard out at Orange Country National. I have had a few low rounds this year, lowest was 64 (8 under), along with several bogy free rounds.
I am also very excited to announce that I have signed with Bermuda Sands Apparel for the next two seasons. I will be wearing their shirts in all of my events and know I will represent the company well on tour.
The first event beginning tomorrow is at Black Bear Golf Course, about an hour north of Orlando. It is called the NGA Members Shootout conducted over three rounds. The winner of the event will have all the entries for the NGA Tour this year paid for. I played in a small event at the course earlier in the year and after yesterdays practice round I feel as ready as I can be and as long as I play one shot at a time I know the results will fall into place.

End of 2011 Golf Season
Today was my last tournament round for the year.
So far I have enjoyed the last couple of months down in Florida for the Winter. I am still adjusting to playing on bermuda grass, which has been a work in progress.
Since my time in Florida I have played in 10 events. I made a check in most, although none too big it was still nice to make the cut and play the final round and gain more experience.
Below are my results since I have been in Florida.
NGA Winter Series #1 75 78 71 = T20
FPGTour #1 69 75 = T26
NGA Winter Series #2 70 72 = MC (by 1)
NGA Winter Series #3 70 72 75 = T35
FPGTour #2 70 69 = T40
NGA Winter Series #4 69 71 74 = T38
Invitational Golf Tour Event 75 75 = T6
NGA Winter Series #5 70 72 73 = T38
FPGTour #3 70 75 = T17
NGA Winter Series #6 73 70 73 = T23
I am currently writing this blog while waiting to board a flight back to Minneapolis for Christmas break.
I am excited to have a break but I cannot wait to start up my 2012 season.
I will be in Minneapolis from the 22nd till 2nd of Jan and I will play in my first event in 2012 on the 4th of Jan
I hope all is well with everyone and I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Last Couple of Events
Over the past week I played in two events.
The first event was a NGA Winter Series Event. I had 11 penalty shots. (4 out of bounds / 3 in the water). But still managed to make the cut on the number. I don't know if I have had 11 penalty shots combined for the whole year it was a bad event of ball striking. Luckily my Putter kept me alive and I was able to move up a few positions in the last round to finish 20th.
The second event was a FPGTOUR two day event. The first day I played solid for 3 under even though I only managed to hit 4 fairways. The second round was not very good I got off to a bad start and managed to salvage a respectable round but the damage was done after six holes. I finished 26th in this event.
Yesterday I played a practice round for my next NGA Winter Series Event at Haromny. The course is longer and wider off the tee which I like. I am excited to play today.

PGA Tour Q-School First Stage
It is going to be another year playing mini tour golf. I had my worst performance of the year at the time I needed a performance the most. The event is gone from my memory and it is time to focus on my time in Florida this winter.
I begin my first event on the Bridgestone NGA Winter Series today.
Yesterday I played a practice round at Orange Tree. I like the course it is quite a tough driving course, but all I need to do is play smart and I will do just fine. I was very impressed with my driving during the practice round which has given me a lot of confidence for the event.
As I am writing this there is a weather delay for the first round, so it looks likely that I will not complete my first round today as I have an afternoon tee time.
Results for the event can be followed on this link
