As the 2009 PGA Tour Q-School tournament approaches, I have been preparing my game. There are a few essential components to a successful professional golf career. The first is the continued and ever-improving ability to shoot low scores; the second is unyielding patience and self-belief, especially in the face of challenge and adversity; the third is the financial support that provides opportunities to remain competitive.
As many of my friends are aware, I spent 2008 playing pro golf in Asia. Every few weeks I found myself in a different country. It was a brilliant adventure that required me to constantly learn and adapt to survive. One such adventure took place in South Korea during the Johnny Walker and Heavenland Opens. My camera was rolling and a documentary has been created titled, "Korean Tour Dreams."
In the film, I give you the rare opportunity to travel with my caddy Christine and I, to the exotic island of Jeju; tour street sights and marketplace sounds in the capital city of Seoul; experience simmering, steaming hot bugs as delicacies and play the challenging host courses of the Korean Tour.
For a preview of the film, check out the Youtube clip on the right side of this blog or visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXqans30PZM.
As PGA Tour Q-School draws near, I am launching a new fund raising initiative as a means to pay expenses for my coming bid. By contributing an amount of your choosing, with a minimum donation of $10, I will send you a copy of my documentary, Korean Tour Dreams. Your support will greatly help towards giving me the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 2010 PGA Tour and you will get an exciting and unique perspective of international tour life on the DVD.
You can easily and securely contribute by clicking on the PayPal icon on the right side of the blog. Please send me an email with your mailing address and I will send your copy of Korean Tour Dreams. The DVD will be available for distribution Monday, August 24th and will be sent out within 3 business days of your donation.
The competitions that await give me the opportunity to turn a childhood dream into a reality. Thank you for your support and being a part of this exciting time.
