Commonly called the Q-School, this is the toughest final exam in all of sports. It's like having Hannibal the Cannibal as a headmaster. Fail, as most do, and he eats you for dinner. Well, temporarily dead. Golf is the perfect sport, because reincarnation is right around the corner.
Golfers reinvent their golf games all the time.
Scott Dunlap is 35 years old. When I first met him, he was 8 or 9. He was a determined young player with a wonderful short game. He earned All-America honors his senior year at the University of Florida and immediately turned pro. Here in the desert, I asked him how many Q-Schools he had attended.
