Ok, I'm not writing and having someone edit it. Off we go. Andre Chi just Monday Q'd for the Valspar. He was an ok junior golfer, but only got d3 offers. His freshman year at Methodist he averaged 77. Played 2 events. Improved each year, won the D3 National Championship his Senior year. Always dreamed of pro golf. But didn't have the financial means to do it. His dad is a dental tech, his mom works part time as a nanny. So after school got an assistant pro job at Deepdale in New York. Played a bunch of section events, had some small wins. Tried Q-school last year, missed by two. Came down to florida for the winter. Living by himself, playing section events. Going broke. Signed up for the pre-q, put it on his credit card. Shot 66 in the pre-q. Today shot 67 in 30mph wind. Gets through. Besides section events and state opens has never really played a legit event. A friend of mine is at the Monday and says call Ryan. He calls and I say congrats. He says thank you and then "what do I do?" He has no idea how anything works, where to go, where to park, how to registers, etc. I walk him through that, then ask where he is staying tonight. And he tells me is $1500 in the hole. Has $60 left in his checking. I get him a hotel for the night. This is why Mondays are great. This doesn't happen in any other sport. None. He's a "nobody" (and I mean that in a good way). An asst pro of a club in New York. He played D3. He's never played an event on a legitimate tour. And on Thursday he's going to play on the PGA Tour. God Bless Mondays.
