College golf taught me to play well. Nobody told me that competing well is a different skill — that lesson cost me tournaments.
Mini-tours on my own money. Mondays where four spots go to a hundred and forty guys. I learned exactly how good players leak shots they never notice.
Up there everybody can play. The separation is preparation and decisions. I’ve also lost status and gone back to earn it — that part isn’t on a résumé.
ON TOUR-SANCTIONED TOURS
THE CAREER SCORECARD
Sixteen seasons across five tours, totaled up and signed. Circled: career-low rounds. Double-circled: wins.
I’VE WALKED THE ROAD YOUR PLAYER IS ON.
I played Division I golf at Murray State and wasn’t the No. 1 player on my team. Twelve years later I was on the PGA TOUR, with wins on the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica along the way.
In between, I learned the parts nobody teaches: how to qualify, how to earn status and keep it, how to practice and compete week after week, and what separates players who keep improving from players who stall.
I spent the years and the money figuring it out. Your player doesn’t have to.
I’m still competing, so everything I hand a player, I’m using myself.
