Congrats are in order for Adam Cooper of Columbus, Georgia! Adam qualified on Monday, 6-19-06, for the Nationwide Tour Chattanooga Classic. Adam fired a 66 leaving no doubt that he would be playing for a weekend slot in the Nationwide event. Adam has been playing extremely well. He secured first place honors at the NGT Crystal Lake Open on 6-06-06 posting a 69. Good Luck this weekend.
PGA Tour qualifiers have now become twice as hard. A prequalifier is held the Wednesday before the Monday qualifier for those that aren't PGA section members. It's grueling enough to attempt to qualify. Now you must dig even deeper to find and maintain that 'game' that has to be right on to land one of those 4 vacant positions. We have several of our members attempting to qualify for the Bellsouth this next week. Good luck is in order for Tucker Evans of McDonough, GA who placed 3rd in his first NGT tournament of the year at the Orchard Hills Open on 3-06-06. Jason Smith of Snellville, GA. Jason played in several of our events last year and has just joined as a memeber of our 2006 season. Matt Drinkhahn will be qualifying on 3-27-06. The best of luck to all.
