Wintergarden Florida
Imagine if what you do during the next 6 days will determine your livelyhood for the entire next year. It's a fairly intimidating prospect to be sure but that's what 166 golfers are currently facing during the annual Q-School qualifying tournament down in Florida this week.
Frank Lickliter II and Brendon de Jonge each shot 10-under 62 on yesterday during opening round play at Orange County National to share the lead in the six-round PGA Tour National Qualifying Tournament.
Only the 25 top finishers and ties will earn the golden ticket - a PGA Tour card for 2007. This of course means full entry into most 2008 PGA Tour events and with that, the shot at fame and fortune. The next 50 or so players earn full exemption to the Nationwide tour while the remaining players in the field will achieve conditional status on the Nationwide tour.
Lickliter as well as Jonge both lost tour cards this year by finishing 139th & 155th
respectively on the money list.

It's amazing what those guys are going through. I just finished reading that Q-School book by Fienstein. That's rough, I don't envy them a bit!
