I finished up the tournament with a final round 79 (319 cumulative) for a disappointing 48th place finish out of 70 players who started. It took a 299 score to advance, which was doable for sure, but I did not make it happen. Only 3 birdies over 72 holes was pitiful, and I was never able to get anything going to shoot a good score. Anyway, its over and time to explore what will be next for me. I am very thankful to my family and investors who together provided the opportunity to undertake this quest. Many sacrifices were made to allow me this opportunity, especially Stephanie and the children, and I will be forever thankful. They have their husband and Dad back, and I look forward to doing some of the things I was unable to do over the past few years. My investment group was most supportive during the past three years, and to them I owe a heavy debt of gratitude.

While very disappointed in the final outcome, I have no regrets about chasing this dream, and can rest well knowing I put 100% of my efforts in trying to make it work. I am really not in the reflective mood at present, and make no excuses for my performance. It just did not happen. Perhaps at another time I will be able to communicate things in a different light, but for now just leaving it as something I was not able to accomplish seems best.

Thanks to all who have read this blog over the past three years, and for your encouragement and kind words. I appreciate it. Until next time...
