Thanks, guys.
Joe - I can't recall any losses at KP. But Michael Whitaker kicked my butt straight up at the first Dixie Cup. But yes, it was rather fun being the 8 seed and taking down all the favorites.
Ed - title defense entails playing in a minimum of three club events in the next 11 months - last time I won, I failed to do that so I wasn't even allowed to try! So my goal this time is to not get injured and find away around soccer/baseball/baby duties to get the three events in. After that it's all gravy.
James - in fact they do have such a thing, it's in October at a club in Modesto. Sadly I told them I can't make it... too many days off of work for golf already planned! I think that's the only invite I get, although there are a couple other things where the pro and club champ play... heck odds are even if those invites come I won't be able to do them either. Such is life.
