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.

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...

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? :)

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

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

I'm not sure I follow this.

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.

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?

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
