Setting a schedule

The nicest thing about having exempt status for the AJGA Gilchrist events is that we can pretty well plan out his season well in advance. We'll have him play in 5 AJGA events, compete in our state Jr Am tournament, and try to qualify for a couple more events (US Jr Am and state Am). We'll also try to get him into a couple of qualifiers for AJGA open tournaments, and see if he can bank some performance stars for the next season.

Last year, the focus was to play as much tournament golf as possible. This year, the focus will be to learn how to prepare better for a more limited number of events.

The other big difference this year is that Sean will play high school golf rather than baseball this spring. Tryouts for the team will commence in another 3 weeks or so. Sean has a good shot at making the team, but hard to say whether he'll see a lot of tournament action. Either way, I think he'll have a lot of fun being on a team.
