Recap and Ready for Q School

Well a lot has occurred in the major lapse of time since our last post. Derek and I are sorry that we haven't had the time to update this blog, and moving forward we will make this a bigger priority. As a brief update, here is the skinny on what has occurred this past 9 months with Derek's golf:
  • January through April Derek spent playing on the Gateway Tour down in Phoenix
  • July through September Derek ventured down to the Southeast and played on the NGA Tour (formerly the Hooters Tour)
  • September we got married!
  • Fall 2012 Derek will be playing at PGA Tour Q School

Right now Derek is already down in Dayton, Nevada for the 1st stage of PGA Tour Q School.  After a slight hiccup in the transportation of his precious golf clubs, his clubs arrived! Not the first time this has happened to him.  That only cut into one day of practice, and then Derek spent Sunday and Monday practicing (see pictures).

Today was round one and it was a smooth round for Derek. He shot a bogey-free -4.  Full results from today's round can be found here.





Tomorrow Derek tees off at 9:38. Stay tuned for more updates.
