1 July 08

I qualified today for the Senior US Open that will be played at The Broadmooe in Colorardo Springs, CO 31 July through 3 August.

I played in the qualifer at Dragon Ridge CC in Henderson, NV. There were 39 players for one spot, and I won the spot by shooting even par 72 and winning a three hole playoff.

The day was a bit of a marathon, to say the least. Dragon Ridge CC is quite hilly (and has US Open quality greens hard and fast), the temperature was 108 degrees when we finished and the USGA does not allow carts. I would dare say that we were the first to EVER walk the course! I was two under after four, but made some mistakes on the back nine, then made a 6 footer for birdie on #18 to get into the playoff. I then made a six footer to stay in the playoff on the second playoff hole and a nice 4 footer on the last hole to win the playoff. Since I have not played much competitively this year, it was nice to be able to handle the pressure.

Here is an article the Michael Donovan, the Head Nut of the Golf Nuts Society of America wrote. He is a member of Dragon Ridge, and was very helpful in allowing me to practice on the course on Monday morning. (www.golfnuts.com)

I’m really looking forward to Colorado Springs and I have a perfect place in Osprey Meadows @ Tamarack Resort (www.tamarackidaho.com) to practice my ‘mountain’ golf. I’ve not made it to the resort yet this year, but have heard that the course is in wonderful condition. I’m probably heading up there this weekend.
