Disqualified...

What a Bummer! I recieved some terrible news last night around 9:30pm. My whole group, and the whole group in front of me tee'd off from the wrong teebox.
I am not kidding.
Apparently, the tour moved the tees up on the ninth hole, because ants were all over the back tee. The problem is, someone had put a set of tee markers down on the back tee, that were not the markers for the Gateway tour.
My whole group walked up to the back tee, didn't even look at the markers, and just ripped it down the middle. I was the second in my group to tee off, and I never even looked at the markers.
If that isn't a case of "the blind leading the blind," I don't know what is.
I have been Disqualified three other times in my life. Twice because of a bad drop that I realized and called on myself the next day, and once because of missing my tee time due to a fatal car accident on the highway.
Last night was number four, and it hurts the most.
Because of the DQ, I went from 38th to 42nd on the money list. 43 players will qualify for the Tour Championship, and I was not planning on playing in the last event. Now I have to play, or just pray that someone doesn't pass me with only one event to go.
Well, the positive thing is, I am playing well. I made eight birdies in heavy winds, and really had a great time. I putted average the first round, and pretty well the second round. I think the good stuff is just around the corner.
I now have this week and next week off. Then, I do not know if I am going to play in the Myrtle Beach Hooters event, or the last Gateway event of the year, and try to get in the Tour Championship. I will keep you posted. Getting in the zone is going to be my next entry, so be ready to catch fire.
