2008 Q School application

There's been a few threads on here asking about details/what it takes to make it, check it out...

August 27th is the deadline for pre-qualifying.

I got through about half of that before I realize I an not eligible because I got a parking ticket in Washington DC in 1999.

Man, there's alot of requirements. And on top of that, you gotta golf your butt off.

I so wish I had the game and money to try this

Are you going to try to qualify, Ben?

[Ben]

Eh, I don't know. I'm on the fence, but leading towards the 'no' end of the fence. At least for this year. I'll see how my mini-tour play for August treats me and make a decision...

[geezer]

Whatever you decide to do, Ben, good luck!

I think I might apply too... Oh, wait I think I'll drop about 20 shots off my handicap first. Then save up for about twenty years!

All healed up?

Focus on your mini tour events this year in my opinion, really get some experience of playing under pressure and learning to score well when your playing poorly, this experience would probably really help your attempt at Q school if you was to do it next year or even the year after.

Yeap, been back in action for about a month now. Played 3 tournaments since. Best finish a tie for 4th.

Well, here's how I see it. When I play well in my August events, I'll have my confidence running high. I'll go as far through Q School as I can, if I happen to make it all the way, I'll have still the rest of the year to still on the mini-tours to build my experience/confidence. Why put to tomorrow, what I may pull off today?

Good luck on the Mini-Tour Ben! Hope to see you on the nationwide/pga tour soon.

Underparnv - If you have the funds, I say go for it and see how far you get. What's the worst that could happen? :)

[klaymon]

Holy crap. So, it costs $15,000 if you play all the qualifying sessions?

I'm not sure I follow this.

[powerfade]

It's good to hear you're back in action. Good luck at Q-School.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well onto the internet. Just saying there seem to be alot of rules and reasons one can be denied or disqualified.

I could lose $5,000...

[Klean]

Oh ya, there's that also lol

[ganjagolfer]

i've been debating whether to buy a new house or pay the q school application fee

[Kevin04]

Good luck to Ben on the forum here and gangja if you decide your house an wait.

What does your handicap have to be to join? Although I'm miles off scratch just curious to find out, or is there no handicap?

[Gummi Bear]

Good luck if you do choose to go for it Ben. Play a Texas event, and I'll be there to cheer for ya.

BTW - what's the policy on going out to watch one of these events? Do they allow spectators? Some of the Texas venues are within an hour of my house, and it'd be cool to go and watch.
