I don't have more info in terms of score, wondering which qualifying it was. So one guy gets a call, you get into the sectionals! The other is like, DOH!

So you work on your game, pay the money to try and qualify, you are near the number and you leave? WTF? Both of these dudes should have their heads examined.

At sectionals, yeah, you wait around. But at locals i usually leave as soon as I'm done. They let you know if you got through or not. I didn't even know their were alternates awarded at locals...

Oh well. At least he can blame it on Chris diMarco. Makes it a more interesting story. ;-)

Is there more to it?  it sounds like in the event of a tie whoever is still there gets the spot.  Ties can't be uncommon at all for a qualifier, so why leave?

Cristian DiMarco spoke with GolfChannel.com (his father is a commentator for the network) and explained that the previous year in the same local qualifier at the same course he had shot one-under-par 71 and was nowhere near being among those who advanced to Sectional Qualifying

“We thought we had no chance,” Cristian said. “We thought it was a foregone conclusion.”

As far as i know. They've typically taken all ties for the final spot at local qualy. I got into sectionals in 2014 that way. I found out the next day i got through. But state golf assioiations usually run the qualifiers, not really the USGA. So policies might be different from state to state. I dont know.

On average, how many amateurs get into the U.S. Open?  Also, is there a different path of entry for those currently playing collegiate golf?

That's it.

You're either exempt or you go through qualifying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 10: 2/16/2025 Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.  My new priority pieces.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 26 (16 Feb 25) - Basically a repeat of yesterday- only it was a bit more expanded chips/pitches - 7i, 9i, 50° and 58°.   Big exception was I was hitting groups of 5 one club at a time.  Focused on a specific target point - and coming smoothly through the ball, not punchy.  Got it right about 3 out of 5 - more work needed.

      You probably haven't turned much and instead have just pulled your left arm across your chest.

      Things didn’t work out with the cutting horse barn my wife was working for there in Virginia. Their Texas facility we were supposed to move down to ended up delayed for at least an extra year after they’d had us leave Virginia to meet them down there “shortly”. So we ended up getting some land by her family in Missouri and building a house of our own down here instead. Not as many courses, but there is one 5 minutes from the house that’s only $62/mo for both of us to be members at and other nicer ones within a reasonable drive as well.    @Rick_D I’ll try to remember to let you know when I’m heading up that direction. It may happen more frequently in the coming year since a dealer for a business I started recently is based out of St Charles so making deliveries myself might be more economical than shipping.

      I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.
