Pretty cool story of a couple of teammates playing together at the @BahamasKFTour I’ve tweeted a bunch about Hunter Eichhorn, a kid who grew up in a tiny town in the UP of Michigan, put his clubs away 7 to 8 months at a time each year, had never been on airplane before getting to @MarquetteMGolf but became a standout player there. Tyler Leach grew up on a course his family owned. A little 6,000 yard course in Wisconsin that costs less than $30 to play. Yet he too made it to Marquette and became a standout player. Neither of them should have made to pro golf, but against those long odds they did. Eichhorn got thru all three stages to earn his full card for the first time, he’s been a Monday Q killer for the last few years. And Leach got thru four stages of Q-school to earn his card. (There is a pre-q stage for guys who have not made a cut on a pga sanctioned tour). And today after both playing the first 36 in 12-under they are paired together in the third round. And there bags tell the story of the grind. Leach and his faded Marquette bag, Eichhorn and his old faded Taylor made bag. Just awesome. Pretty damn cool.
