I played with Compton in 1999 in a USGA Publinks qualifier- he won it... Great guy, you could tell he was running out of gas at the end but fought on. 36 holes on a tough walking course is hard for anyone, let alone a guy with a heart transplant.

No, sore subject. The year and a half I played in college (I sucked horribly then, slightly worse than now) I was always either 5th or 6th man on the traveling squad, which meant I had to qualify against other guys on the team to make each tournament. The only tourney I failed to qualify for in my time there was one being held at The Greenbriar

Thanks- I was a pretty good player in college. Getting back to that level finally after really taking a break from competitive golf for a long time. Played REALLY well today, actually- played a match against our head pro and thrashed him.

I know the feeling- I was in the same situation. Was always 4/5/6/7th man.

We should try to get out there sometime- do you think they will cut you a deal on your PGA card? It's about 4 hours for me, what about from the Noke? I really want to play Old White.

Fitting end to a misearable day... I lose to a 59.

Rough. Good pick on Overton- I thought you were home.

I know these players are absurdly good- but what's with all the super low scores lately? that's two 60's and two 59's in the last two American tour stops.

If the Old White weren't a par 70, then it would have been a 61 and 62 this week...and we never really would have heard a peep. I think they said Overton hit a wedge into every par 4 on either Friday or Saturday. Thats 12 holes, combined with two easily reachable par 5's....AND, throw in some greens that are soft as Scavs stomach = a recipe for incredibly low scores.

Only about 45 minutes from me. I would imagine they would maybe charge me cart fee, at most.
