Today is the start of the second stage of Qualifying School for Matt. He is out in Dallas, TX and teed off this morning at 10am. Needless to say, Mother Nature hasn't been very cooperative the past week, making it hard to get much practice in. Matt was home and practicing but then the remanents from the tropical storm blew thru, completely soaking every course in town. When he finally got to practice, the wind picked up. He flew to Dallas last Sunday morning only to find that the PGA Tour has a ridiculous rule that if you did not have status this year on the Nationwide or PGA Tours, you could not practice on Sunday. What a way to make an unfair advantage for other players. Had we known that, Matt would have stayed here, practiced and flown out later.
A cold front blew thru Dallas on Monday and Tuesday and turned the temperatures to the 40s. The wind blew up to 30-40 miles per hour, again making it hard to practice. A lot of guys didn't even go out on the course. Needless to say, it's been interesting, but then again, it is Q-School. Why would it go smoothly?!
So, today begins the Q-school second stage journey. My prayers go out to Matt this week. We're thinking about you, rooting for you, and behind you 100%!! Please keep him in your prayers.

I just got caught up on your blog ... very late CONGRATS are in order for you too! I thought both of the boys were girls :) And I think this one is a boy ... so we'll see what happens! I'm sure Ben has your email (and your address) and I'll check with him ... but if not ... could you email him your address. We have a Christmas card to send your way!
