Sorry for no updates.  The Madison qualifier on Monday went poorly.  I replicated another 74 on a challenging day of wind and difficult pin positions.  I needed a 67 and didn't sniff it.  From there I headed to Callaway Gardens in LaGrange, Georgia for a Hooters Tour Q School Prep event.  That is one of the sites for the first stage of q school so they have an event there for guys to play.  I shot even for the first two rounds and missed the cut by four.  I made some dumb mistakes along the way that cost me.  I did hit some very nice shots so I will take that with me going forward.  On Monday (Oct 4th)  I was in Chattanooga for the final Monday qualifier of the year for myself.  I was first off on the day.  It was cold and there was a bit of wind which made the course fairly challenging.  I played very well minus two tee shots and wound up shooting a 3 under par 69.  I figured in my head that was a decent score and I had a realistic chance of qualifying.  So I stuck around for 3 hours to see if it would hold up.  Going into the last group of the day I was tied for 7th with one other guy.  The top 7 players advance, so I was in a 2 for 1 playoff at the time.  Unfortunately the guy shot 68 and bumped me to 8th place.  It was devastating to once again be so close and looking from the outside looking in.  I did the math on my way home.  I have played in 19 Mondays this year and didn't get through one.  I can promise you this is only adds to my determination moving forward.  The crazy thing is I shot under par in most of them but had nothing to show for it.  It is essential to take the positives moving forward.  I am still playing great golf and I have Tour school starting up in two weeks in Charlotte, NC at a course called Irish Creek.  It has been a consistent year for me in terms of scoring and that is what you need at Tour school.  I have one more event before next week in Auburn, AL.  I am really looking forward to the process this year and playing some great golf in the coming months.  This is what I have poured my life into and I really am cherishing the opportunity to see the fruit of my labors paying off.  I'll keep you posted in the meantime with my progress in the coming weeks.  Thanks for your support.
