We knew it was coming.  The PGA Tour has made no bones about the fact that Q-School, as we knew it, would cease to exist in the near future.  Back in March, the PGA Tour announced the basic framework of how the new "path to the PGA Tour" would be designed, but they were still working out the details on how exactly the 50 Tour Cards would be distributed.
 
Here's what I got out of the articles I read on http://www.pgatour.com/:

Catching Up and Looking Ahead

Wow, it's the Sunday evening after Thanksgiving and I'm having one of those "where did my YEAR go??"  We're coming up on December at the end of this week and before you know it we'll be singing Christmas carols and making resolutions for 2012.  My year is a combination of a blur and vivid moments of both special and challenging experiences.
 
I feel like I'm at a point where I need to catch up a bit and also look forward to the holiday season and to the next year...I've just started my golf off-season and I hope to make the most of it.

Hope, Joy, GOLF!

Lots going on in my golf head this week...First of all, it's August!!  This means I only have about 2 months of decent golf season left.  I'm sad that I haven't been out on the course nearly as much as I should have, but I've decided that I will be kicking my priorities around a bit to make more room for my happy place.
 
Let's see, what else...oh, yes, Tiger is back.  I've got to believe there are all kinds of betting possibilities for the "comeback" this week at the Bridgestone.  Since there is no cut at this limited field event he eliminated that one, but I'd say there is a fairly large contingent that thinks he will be marginal at best, and considering his injuries and time away from golf, it's probably not a bad guess.  But you know there also others that believe he'll be hoisting another WGC trophy come Sunday - and I guess you never know.  From what I could see on a betting odds web site, he's still a 20/1 pick ahead of Phil, Nick Watney, Adam Scott, and Martin Kaymer.  Best odds are McIlory at 14/1, so it looks to me that there is a lot of belief in TW out there.  As I said last week, I hope that being back on the course will sprout some joy into Tiger's life, regardless of how he finishes.  The funniest thing I've read so far is a comment from Chuck over at my favorite Fantasy Golf website, http://www.kerplookee.com/.  He put Tiger on his squad for the week and followed it up with: "And I know I'm going to regret my Tiger pick.  The soul patch made me do it."  Laughed out loud!

It's golf scramble week in my little part of the world (my favorite golf day of the year!!), so my brain is going in a hundred different directions trying to make sure I remember everything I need to do before Friday.  So I'm going to take a page out of Sam Johnson's repertoire and do some "scatter shooting" this week.

It's no Fantasy, it's a Nightmare!

My fantasy leagues are ruining my joy of watching golf.  Oh sure, everything would be great if I could pick the winners each week, but I'm in the same pattern I get in every year...the first week I do great, then comes the slow and painful decent down the leader board, never to be seen again.
 
I battle the urge to pick my favorite players and instead I study stats, streaks, and past tournament performance.  Usually I end up with a little of both in my final selections, but I'm usually picking the wrong guys in each category.

    When I found Tees2Greens website and forum I found a happy place.  There were great people there and in 2009 they asked me if I wanted my own blog space.  It was a dream come true!!  The site is down now, but I was able to get all of my posts to be able to post here.  I will always be grateful for all of the Tees2Greens folks!!
