I have the pub links qualifier at a course about 30 minutes away. It is 36 holes, low 2 qualify. I am actually thinking about taking some embarassment and bringing a pull cart to save energy for those last nine holes...hopefully i can pull it off on Monday.

Use a friend to caddy. Publinks requires you walk, but you don't have to carry your bag most places. I play pancho every year to an old friend of mine's attempt to qualify. He uses a carry bag thankfully, I don't know how tour caddies carry those staff bags for 36 hole days. He has made match play all but a couple times, best finish made it to the semi-final round. I play some of my best golf every year after caddying for him. His ability to stay relaxed while competing seems to rub off for a round or two before I start trying to hard.

Welp here is how it went
first 18 : 37 38 75
second 18 : 37 35 72

Tied for second and top 2 made it...went to a playoff and i lost with a bogey on the first playoff hole, I am first alternate right now and hopefully i will get a call to play, but who knows...i ended up using a pull cart with no caddy so im sure that didnt help a lot but im glad i played better my second round...

Hire a caddie next time just for the experience.

Great job though - much better than the 43/36 from the U.S. Open qualifier. Very good. Congrats.

1 stroke away from heading to match play i think in north carolina...i know i went just to get practice in big tournaments but when you are that close it just hurts...can think of so many shots i could have made including a lipout on 18 for birdie...oh well...always next time i guess...

If you see that many areas you could improve a little in then it was a really valuable experience. Your area must work differently than mine. After a 36 hole qualifying tournament, match play determines the only qualifier for sectionals.
