THE RETURN...                                                                            It's 2023. Post college, post pandemic, in the midst of early business career success. And it's the return to competitive golf. With reinstatement as an amateur, Luke is headed back to competition, and with anything he has ever done, it's all or nothing. It's not nothing. He's entered not less than 8 tournaments from now til the end of the summer. First stop is Florida State Public Links Championship, three rounds of stroke play, no cut. It's played at Dubsdread in Orlando, a short peculiar track where you barely need a driver. But it's a good place to start. You get to play three rounds no matter what, and you can test your short game. Going into the final round, the rust showed, but there's a new attitude. Play conservative, play patient, let the game come to you. The philosophy is working in fits and starts. But I'm long distance. Next week I'm "on the bag" for the first time in a long time (not counting a best ball tournament at The Preserve in Monterey two years ago). Stay tuned...
