Today it was made official. I am now a member of the European Tour after making the cut this week on exemption.
I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye so I'll say a few words about my season.
My goal when first getting into the web tour was simply to make cuts. I knew it would be tough but started well in the first few weeks making the first 4 or 5 cuts including a top 10 finish.
The 2 months or so that followed were me missing the cut or just barely scraping in. I doubted whether I belonged in this tour with the level of the players so high and consistent.
Out of nowhere, in moving month, I pulled 4 rounds out of nowhere to gain an exemption to the Euro tour which I used straight away. Honestly, I never thought that would happen and I'm delighted to have just about made the grade to be given a Euro card.
I leave some friends and playing partners behind in the web, Dan Sheehan... The first friend I made on tgctours and the guy who introduced me to all of my other playing partners. Dean Huddlestone and Jared Nicholson who I've recently got to know in some friendly matches. No doubt all 3 of you will be joining me very soon. Also Graham Bunting and Terry Grayson who have offered kind words along the way.
I join other friends on the Euro, Kenny Woolley. A guy who stayed up with me until 2am one night improving my putting. Gary Foster, who played countless rounds with me at Muirfield so I was ready for my exemption and David Brown.... He's the guy I fear most in match play and is always happy to share advice to improve my game. The tips and encouragement I've received from all the names I've mentioned since joining tgctours have helped me become a better player.
So that's it... Wish me luck Webbers, I'm seriously going to need it. I'll be sure to keep coming back to this forum, the banter here is the best on the site.

Well deserved Chris.
Although Dan failed to mention that promotion to the Euro while in the middle of the league season will cost you 6 points.

I thought it was 10 points Jared?
Well played Chris, you'll be a miss on the Web. I've decided to stay down here to hold Dans hand. The poor lad is really struggling.
Best of luck up there. I'm sure you'll give David, Gary and Kenny a run for their money.

Pretty soon all the Web "regulars" from Season 2 will move up. I am pretty sure that is why the spoilers thread is dwindling slowly. Much like the CCA/B threads after we all moved up this year. It is pretty cool to see the system work how it should.
