Please pray that he will remain relaxed and finish this 2nd stage strong!! Pray that he will continue to enjoy himself and play his heart out!!! God is good and whatever happens is all in His hands!!

Hello friends!! I am happy to report that day one is DONE! Chris went out and played some great golf today!! I talked to him right when he finished and he just sounds so relaxed and he even said today was FUN!!! I guess so when you shoot a 66 and are tied for 3rd! He said that today he played a solid round of golf. With 7 birdies and 1 bogey, he said it was a great day weather wise for scoring low! (I hope that makes sense!) He did say that towards the end of the round he was hitting some putts that helped him birdie a few of the holes coming in. He loves the course he is playing and it really suits his game, so that helps a ton! Let's just pray that the weather will continue to be nice and that he will continue to have fun!! Chris also wanted me to tell everyone thanks for all the kind messages!! We are blessed to have so many people following and encouraging along the way!! Pray that Chris will remain relaxed and that he will continue to just enjoy this week! He can do it and he will do it!!! I think that is all I have to report tonight! We can not say thanks enough to all of you following!!! God is so good and we are constantly reminded how gracious He is by all of you!! I tell Chris every day that so many people believe in him!! May God bless each of you!!! Much love from Nashville!!

This is it!!!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6,7

I got off the phone with Chris a little while ago as I was headed to the gym and he was headed to a movie! Today was another great day of practicing and preparation! After a month of waiting from 1st stage, I think Chris is ready and thankful that 2nd stage is finally starting! He sounds very excited for this awesome opportunity and I am so excited that it all starts tomorrow! I forgot to ask Chris what the exact number is that they will take, but he said yesterday that he thought it might be the top 20 and ties. When I find out for sure, I will be sure to post it! Other than that, there really is not much to report. The scoring will be done like last time, so you can go to the link below to keep up with the scoring! Thanks to you all for your love and support!! God is good!! If you get a chance tomorrow, please pray for Chris and that he will have a calm heart!! Much love from Nashville and check back tomorrow night!!!

2nd stage has arrived!!!

The King of love my Shepherd is,

Whose goodness faileth never,

I nothing lack if I am His

And He is mine forever.

Hello friends! What a day it has been! Chris and his caddie, Mike, left bright and early this morning for Georgia! I must say, I was glad to have Chris home for the weekend! We had a great time as one of his good friends, Josh Teater, came to stay with us...but now the time has come to buckle down for this next grueling stage! Chris got to Callaway Gardens around noon today and played 9 holes with a close friend and former teammate, Kyle Ellis. Kyle and Chris finished right next to each other at 1st stage, so I know they are so excited to be playing at the same location again! Chris seemed very excited when I talked to him and sounds great! I think the most important thing for him this week is just to take it one day at a time and to treat it like any other day on the golf course. As hard as that is, I fully believe Chris can do that and I believe that he has every ability to get through this stage! As of right now, Chris will tee off at 10:00 on Wednesday, and 9:00 on Thursday. It looks like if there is any rain at all this week, it will be very little! Please pray that Chris will just give it his very best and that he will just have a calm heart! Pray that he will have fun out there and just enjoy this amazing opportunity that God has provided for him. I know I say this often, but we truly are blessed. Chris has been blessed with talent from God and so many people believe in him. We are truly thankful for each of you. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to walk with us on this exciting journey! I think that is all I have to write for now, but stay tuned! I will be posting each night this week! May God bless us in all that we think, say, and do! Much love from Nashville!!

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow....

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

We sing this Doxology at the church where Chris and I attend. For me, that is one of the highlights of the service...just those few seconds we are singing. Often I find myself forgetting to just simply praise God for all of the blessings that we have been offered. As Chris prepares for this next stage of Q-school, I find myself getting anxious and just praying that he will play his heart out to reach his dreams...our dreams! During all of this, I continue to remember how blessed we are that Chris has been given this opportunity by God and the outcome of all of this year is in His hands! How amazing to know that God has great plans for our life! Chris had the opportunity to play Callaway Gardens today with a great friend from the Tarheel tour. He LOVES the course and is really happy that he went down to check it out before next week. He will head back tomorrow and practice for the remainder of the week. He will also get one more lesson before heading back to Georgia. Thanks again to all of you for your love and support. This journey would be very lonely without all of you! We are truly blessed by God!!! Much love from Nashville!!!

Callaway Gardens it is!!

Well, Chris got his 2nd stage location yesterday, and he got his first choice, which we are thrilled about! He is going to leave this Sunday (Nov. 8th) to go down for a few days and get used to the course. He will get a lesson this Friday, too! Each day he has been working hard and getting ready! He will probably come back to Nashville next Tuesday for the remainder of the week, and then head back to Georgia on Sunday, Nov. 15th for 2nd stage. Continue to pray that Chris will stay mentally focused and that he will just try to enjoy the next few weeks! This stage is the one to get through to get any Nationwide or PGA status! Chris is really looking forward to the opportunity to make it to 3rd stage! We will keep you posted closer to time, but check back over the next few weeks for occasional updates! May God bless each of you! Much love from Nashville!!!!
