What's this?

Dad was invited to Q-School...


Right around when it was getting going in the '60's, he had an invite to participate. He played with a lot of high power folks up in DC at the time and his name got batted around.

Wasn't able to take the opportunity as his mom got sick and had to move back to take care of her. If he had taken it, I probably wouldn't be here...

Also had a friend play on the Nike Tour. Couldn't quite make it happen, though. He won the NCAA Div III Championship twice. Told me to watch out for this guy named Tiger Woods, that he was unbelievable.
