I wish I had enough game to be at Q school this week. The pressure must be big for potential PGA freshman. I can dream.

I just started reading a book called "The Fine Green Line." He starts off with a little bit on Q-School and whatnot. So far so good in the book (I'm on page 50).

I plan to watch (i.e. TiVo) a little bit of TGC's coverage tomorrow.

PGA West's Stadium Course as "the final challenge." I've played the course a number of times, and it is my favorite course, but I'd hate to have to shoot under par or even par to stay in or around the cut line. That place is TOUGH!

It was fun to watch the round yesterday. To be fimiliar with the holes and shots the guys were facing.

It was pretty amazing watching the last three holes last night on GC. I don't think I've ever seen so many putts hang on lips as I did during this tournament. You can really see the pressure on the players faces and in their swings, even some of the fourth and fifth timers.
ESPN.com did a really neat job following three players through Q school.

Played two round there in 2003 with a local kid (asian dude, don't remember the name - every ranger knew him), told me he'll be trying for this year Q-School. From the back tees it's as tough as they come. I shot 81 and was proud of it, the kid shot 67 and lipped a few putts... It's amazing how good one can be (and HAS TO BE) to have a shot. Wonder if he made it...

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
