I just want to throw a shoutout to @wagtunes . I'm proud of you, sir. I read a bunch of posts with bashing and whatnot and it was horrible. Kudos to you, man. We are a community and should all be afforded the same courtesies. You might think I'm dicking around, but I'm not. We are here to help one another. Not bring others down. Well played, Steven. You've earned it. #wagtunes 😏😏😏 Thanks Dax. To be perfectly honest and candid, I'm not all that thrilled to be playing in the PGA. Not because playing in the PGA itself isn't thrilling and an honor. Of course it is. But if I'm honest with myself, I am way in over my head here. My last two rounds of this one proves that. I will most definitely be finishing below 70th place and thus have to contact Scott to manually put me in the tour. How many cuts I actually make after making up here, unless I can find time to practice like a fiend (which I can't because I have other obligations) are going to be few and far between. And with TGC 2 coming out this year and the likelihood that we'll be going back to Q School, it's unlikely that I'll keep my PGA card. And even with no Q School, unless I make the top 140 money list earners, I'll have to play the year end tourney to try to keep my card. Saying it isn't going to be easy now that I'm here would be a great understatement and an insult to the truly great players we have up here. In short, I have no delusions about what my time up here is going to be like. Having said all that, I'm going to go out there, play my best and hope for the best. That's all I can do.

2 spots left ( one will be taken by the king of the watchers) for the -11's to get the boot.
Going to be a long hour and a half for the -11 crew.

One more person posts, and scores better than 11 under, and it's all over. I don't envy them these last 45 minutes.

Looks like the Watchers are making the cut-line folks sweat over at Euro as well! Seven players in the Euro sitting at 70th place right now with half an hour left to submit. Nine players in the PGA.

Like I said, 11 under had a very low percentage chance of making it.
That math doesn't lie.

Well done Sir @wagtunes. I don't know the particulars of qualifying to earn your card, but making the cut is the first and most important step. Nonsense that you don't belong here - you just proved it with your 2 round score. I've been here half of last season and this season, and I feel overmatched each week. But I just tried to adjust my goals and not worry about how well these guys shoot each week. My first goal is just to make the cut. If I do that, I feel like it was a good tournament. Nice thing about the PGA (as you probably know) - you can choose to play here or the Euro tour, so there is a chance for you to find a course that fits your eye better. I don't personally ever do that. I rarely practice and just sign up for PGA each week blindly. The other nice thing - we play the best courses in this game (though opinions will vary on that). There is always complaining and whining each week, but all and all it's what I would expect from the top tiers (PGA and EURO). I remember reading your posts from a long while ago about not being able to advance past CC-whatever. You were tormenting yourself, but now you've potentially qualified for the top-tier tour. That's something to hang your hat on. One of my new goals is to beat you every week. I used to aim for Jimmy Kou canthitstraight but he has vaulted past me by a significant margin, so that's no fun any more. You bring out that Jerry puppet again though and all of the above is forfeit. (Maybe to celebrate your card earning I would tolerate it one time...but just once!) Congrats to you and everyone else that earns their way here. It's a longer journey for some, but it is a big accomplishment.

Jerry will definitely be coming out one last time for this occasion. Oh, and your slogan under your photo. Col. Potter, MASH. Made me smile. Thanks for the welcome.

Thankfully I'm not here all night.
