- I would've bet
money and I don't bet. That's how little chance
Don had of doing what he did. Ask any of the tour
players they would say the same thing. It's not our
own arrogance, it's our own humility of the difficulty
to not only qualify for a Major (top 4) but to then
get past the meltdowns and hold on for a one-stroke
win when you're playing people that have spent EASILY
a hundred hours on the course.
And I couldn't BE more thrilled. It's such a
big win points-wise, that Don is now actually in
contention to win the entire year:
-

-
- That's crazy. Even
crazier is, he qualified for March Madness (B2015) but
had to leave before the bracket started or he could
easily be at 275 or 300 points and Matt and
I wouldn't have gotten those points... and he
wasn't even AT the first event. So yeah, Don is
very much alive... however...
-
- If history stands?
He won't make the cut in the next tournament. We've
watched it happen over and over. A new guy comes in,
he does amazing - he qualifies or even wins? The next
tournament he's so far in his own head he can't seem
to break it. It's a golf thing. And I think it's
universal on every course, but it's magnified on
GolfKon because it's only NINE holes. Once you've
"mastered" them? You think "Oh, I've got this"
and you inevitably start second guessing when things
go south and it becomes a disaster. We've seen it over
and over and we've done it over and over. Don is
CERTAIN that won't be him. And goddamnit I hope
he's right. I would LOVE for him to be a serious "pro
tour player" that we can add to the 4 or 5 people we
presently have that are consistent. I waiver on
Michael Cole because even he will admit that he's just
lost his nerve since his win last year. He keeps
coming back though, but he can't seem to break that
(-4) (-5) range. Similar to Steven was last year. Now
Steven gets (-6) regularly and will eventually break
through and win one of these things.
-
- Also, the
interviews. I used my new video slider that
I used earlier this month with my dad and my
goodness does it add a touch of professionalism that
is remarkable. Of course, how do I do another
tournament without it? I think I've just added a
literal fuckton of work to the production of these
videos that NO one watches. Oh well. I love
'em. I think they're awesome. Just a matter of
time...
-
- OK, am I done
with the video production this month please? JESUS.
It's been a rough month. So tired.

- PS - holy shit,
it's the one-year anniversary of the Time Machine
arriving. Totally slipped my mind. Ahh well, the
anniversary of the "idea" entry is far bigger in
my mind. Still crazy I've only had it a year
though.
