Double P checks in from West Palm Beach, FL
"Headed up to West Palm Beach today from Miami. Pretty frustrated to not make the cut at Doral -- especially with nine birdies and an eagle on Thursday and Friday.
Finished -3 and the cut was -4. #18 on Thursday and #7 on Friday were the real difference makers, but it is what it is.
Insult to injury is that my all time favorite band The Cult played my hometown of San Diego last night and I'm three time zones away. Had some buds who were at the show and they said it was incredible. I swear, when I get my first win I have to look into getting them to play a private party. Doesn't seem I'll ever catch them on the road with my schedule.
All that said, it's time to get geared up for The Honda Classic this week. I finished 4th here in 2005 and had a really good shot at winning the tourney but a few bogeys on the back nine Sunday were a killer.
Got over to South Beach last Friday night, though I'd have preferred to hit the sack early for a Saturday morning tee time. Ended up at the Shore Club and ate dinner at Ago with TA III and a few of my buds. Pretty cool scene there.
Took it over to a new club called Snatch afterwards. I guess it's the new 'place to be' but the only place I wanted to be was on the course Saturday morning.
Wasn't really in all that festive a mood hitting the town Friday night. This Florida swing is all business for me right now. I can't really combine business and pleasure. I save my vacations for the off season. From January through October, it's time to make cuts and earn checks. I set a lot of personal goals this off season and to achieve them, I need to remain focused.
Up in West Palm this week and staying with my bud Mark Mulder. He's renting a place here for spring training with the St. Louis Cardinals, so he offered me a room as he's right around the corner from Mirasol.
Hoping to get it done this week. I know this course well and I like how I'm hitting the ball right now. Just need things to all come together. Hopefully this is the place and now is the time."

Hang in there PP. The wins and paydays are coming. Followed you at Doral and you were really striking the ball well. You just weren't getting any breaks on those greens. Still, you were killing the ball and if you keep doing what you're doing, the wins are going to come.
Play your game at the Honda this week. Do what you did last year and close it out on Sunday!!!
Why do your BUDS drag you out on fri nites ,,,don't they know your working or what !!
If he missed the cut, he is not working over the weekend?!? Right?
