I hope you all don't mind me taking up some space here for my WGT Bucket List.
It's an incomplete list as I have quite a few, but thought I'd lay down a nice starting short list and modify over time, both adding and hopefully crossing off some of my list items.
quite a few will involve simply having a round with players here, others are silly, others are pipe dreams, but hey.......what's a bucket list for right?
any how, in no particular order....
Hit the damn ding at least once per hole in any 9 hole game FINALLY!!! 5/23/13
Play a round with Priestess (May be a Birthday Present this year :) missed another b/d lol - giving up on this dream :( Aug. 1 - 2014 - Dream Fulfilled - She and I had a match today and it was heaven on wgt :) Ty Priestess - it meant a lot to me!
Get a double eagle (Hit the stick on 2nd shot of Kiawah @2 - shoulda pulled pin) Got it!!! 7/19/2013 Double Eagle @ Best of Famous (congressional par 5)

Qualify for the '15 V-Open - '14 - 61(cut 57) - '13 - 61 - one bogey on the card and an oops for par on a par 4 and 3 missed putts i would expect to make. Close but no cigar :)
