Monday Josh enjoyed playing in his first competitive round of golf as an amateur for the Florida State Open Qualifier! Although I wasn't able to be present, Matt was a great caddy for him. Last week, as Josh was practicing he was shooting scores in the high 60's and low 70's- however, on Thursday, he snapped his driver in half just a few days before his tournament! He continued to have a great attitude about his potential performance and shot a 74 at the tournament using Matt's driver. Out of roughly 50 competitors (many of them professionals) Josh ranked in 7th place and earned a spot as the "first alternate" for the actual Florida State Open!
We are still unsure how the "alternate" system will work (i.e. will he need to show up on the day of the tournament in case someone else does not come or will he have more advanced notice). Regardless, he is thrilled with his performance and I am VERY proud of him!
Josh hopes to play in another qualifier on the weekend of the 18th, which happens to be the weekend the of the Florida State Open, so we will wait and see where he plans to play. More details to come!
