Ok. It's time to dance. The beginning of our one year quest. At 8:42 tomorrow the journey begins. I'm real pleased with the preparation and feel as ready as possible. Now its time to be quiet and let God be in control. I know in the past I have tried so hard in these events and know that I cannot do this on my own.

That leads me to a point that is very humbling to me. This opportunity has come with a tremendous amount of help from my friends and family. Please bear with me as I thank all that have brought me to this point. Since this is on the internet I will just use first names.

First of all I have to thank my wife for her encouragement and support. All of those text asking me how I played, helping me make tough decisions, and just being there through thick and thin. My mom and dad for all of their support and encouragement through the years, and Dustin, Alexa, and Ashley. There just is not anything better than to hear from your kids and just corresponding with them. And Ken, for all of his legal/accounting help and support.

Then there is Bill. My friend, pastor, encourager, and mentor. Robert, my teacher and good friend. Allan, Robin, Mike, Mary Lou, Judy, Dennis, Leah, Eric, David, Marsha, Chipper, Don, Jay, Ted, Simon, Sindo, and many more who have been there through the years. Last and not least, all my students from school who gave me a reason last year to play again. Payne, Brett, Jacob, Gabe, Jacen, Davis, Billy, and Justin. You guys are the best.

During events like tomorrow I do not look at leaderboards to see how I am doing, I probably will not comment too much about the round. I will do most of that after it ends. You can follow this tournament at PGAtournaments.com. Thanks for this longer than normal post and know that I love and appreciate you all. God bless!
