Golf is a strange game. This was going to be a week that in my opinion did not set up very well for Skip. We were at The Ohio State University Scarlet Course for one of the bigger events on the Nationwide Tour. I have caddied for Skip on this course the last two years at the US Open qualifier and it really does not set up well for him. Read more

Skip grew up just a couple miles from the Brown Deer Golf Course and played this public golf course growing up. It is thrill for him to come back to Milwaukee and play this event each year.

Not much to report this week. Week #5 in a row was a bit too much for Skip. After competing in 36 hole US Open qualifying on Monday, flying to Raleigh, NC on Tuesday and having an 8 AM pro-am tee time on Wednesday there was not much left in the tank for the start of play on Thursday. Read more
