USDGC Sinnissippi Open Northwoods Open Favorite disc golf storyOne of my main goals in 2010 was to qualify for the USDGC. All year I played qualifers but kept coming up short. My only chance to qualify was by going to the "5 spots, last chance Saturday qualifier", which is a few days before the event. A death in the family kept me from being able to make the qualifer. I figured it wasn't meant to be. The Monday morning of USDGC, I get a phone call at work saying that I can play in the tournament as the Illinois Rep. Our rep had to drop out last minute due to injury, and it was too last minute for the next guy in line for the spot to make it. I was pretty much the only person that could (or would) drop everything and go. So next thing I know it, I'm walking out of work with a fake illness and heading Southbound to Rock Hill. I drove through the night and made it down in time for a practice round (good thing I'd been playing the course in my head all year long.) I ended up playing pretty good and actually cashed (56th). I also aced hole 1 during the 2nd round.
