This is the season when the has-beens and wannabes find themselves at the PGA Tour Qualifying School in attempt to win a coveted pass to big money. Although two more second stage qualifying events are being played this week, quite few former players have already learned their fates by missing the cutoff to advance to the six-round final. The most heartbreaking story -- pun intended -- was that of Erik Compton, who is the recipient of
two heart transplants. Compton missed going to the finals by one shot after he hit the 16th green in two in his final round and three putting. He mistakenly believed he needed an eage to make the number.
Among those who might consider finding real work were: Grant Waite, Joel Kribel, J.L. Lewis, Clark Dennis, Omar Uresti, Tom Byrum, J.P. Hayes, Dicky Pride, Skip Kendall, Ryan Armour, Bobby Clampett, Nolan Henke, Len Mattiace, Tom Scherrer, Jim McGovern, David Peoples, Danny Briggs, Trevor Dodds, Jim Gallagher Jr., Mike Heinen, Tipp Isenhour and Billy Andrade.

Wow, Len Mattice is off the tour, he has amazing talent, used to play a lot of junior golf tournament with him and I played college golf with Nolan Henke at Florida State.
