Good Morning,

As most of you know, last week was very exciting for me. I was sitting at work Thursday and it was just a normal day here at Amherstview Golf Club. The clock read 11:00am and I was just thinking about how I was going to spend my afternoon. It was then that I received an email that changed my mood, tournament plans for the next few weeks and my outlook about my first summer as a professional golfer. The email that I received was from the Canadian Tour office telling me that I had received an exemption into the only full field event being played in Ontario. I was thrilled but at the sametime my mind was racing as I had committed to other tournaments that week in case I had not Monday qualified for the Canadian Tour event which I thought I was going to have to do.

I will leave this Sunday August 14th to head to Seaforth, Ontario. My plan is to get 9 holes of practice in both Monday and Tuesday and hopefully play 18 before or after the Pro-Am on Wednesday. I am playing well right now and have a lot of confidence. I need to go into this tournament as I do any other one and just play my game.

This is a week to show that I have the talent and ability to play at the highest level. No matter what, I am going to enjoy the week, have fun and try to learn as much as I can.

Thank you to everyone for there continued support and encouragement. It is good to know that I have so many people behind me and wishing me the best.

I will do my best to post everyday while at the Canadian Tour event.

Take Care,

Ryan
