A New Direction

Brian Quackenbush — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 01:22:03 +0000

I’ve received several emails over the last few weeks asking how I’m doing and what my plans are. The outpouring of concern and support has been tremendous, and I appreciate everybody who has checked in. After a lot of thought in the off-season I finally decided it was best if I moved into a new career. [...]

Thanks for the Calls and Emails

Brian Quackenbush — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 15:34:09 +0000

Thanks to everyone who called or sent messages to me after Stage 2. It’s nice to see so many people show their concern. I’m surprised again at how many people actively follow what I’m doing. While the timing of the injury was bad, the mental work I’ve done since 2004 enables me to move past it [...]

Injury Update

Brian Quackenbush — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 17:46:27 +0000

My doctor diagnosed several possible injuries to my ribcage, all of which would be treated the same way. I’ve either cracked a rib or torn or strained a muscle or other soft tissue. An x-ray might clarify the injury but wouldn’t change the treatment. He prescribed some meds which should speed along the healing. I [...]

Q-School Withdrawal

Brian Quackenbush — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:03:04 +0000

I had to withdraw from Stage 2 of Q-School at Lake Jovita yesterday due to injury. Around November 5th I strained something in my right ribcage through normal practice and play. I recognized there was an injury immediately and took 4 days off without swinging to make sure it didn’t get worse. It was difficult [...]

Q-School Stage 2

Brian Quackenbush — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:37:02 +0000

I got confirmation that I will be competing at Lake Jovita CC for Stage 2 of Q-School on November 14-17. I went to stage 2 at this course last year. It’s a good course all the way around…a very appropriate and fair challenge for a second stage site. I am heading down for a practice [...]

Q-School Stage 1 Success

Brian Quackenbush — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:34:49 +0000

I finished 6th in last week’s first stage of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament at Florence CC. The top 25 and ties made it at my site. My scores of 67-64-70-68 (-11) were 8 shots inside the cut line and 4 shots off the lead. Finishing this high in the field ensures that I will [...]

Q-School Stage 1 This Week

Brian Quackenbush — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:13:33 +0000

I’m in Florence, SC this week (Tuesday-Friday) for Stage 1 of the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament. Click here for scoring and information.

Schedule

Brian Quackenbush — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 14:13:11 +0000

I removed the qualifier for the Chattanooga Nationwide Tour event off the schedule this week. If everything had gone well, I would have qualified into the event, made the cut and played on Sunday. This would have compressed my practice rounds for Stage 1 of Q-School in Florence to just Monday afternoon. It would also [...]

Tarheel Tour Win

Brian Quackenbush — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:56:53 +0000

I won the MonaVie Open on the Tarheel Tour yesterday at Charlotte National GC. I outlasted a friend and a great golfer, Matt Cannon, in a 4-hole playoff. I started the day one shot back of the lead. Strong winds meant that anything under par would be a pretty good score. My first 10 holes were [...]

Lesson with Jack

Brian Quackenbush — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:48:25 +0000

I went down to Sea Island last week for a lesson with Jack Lumpkin. I was very happy with where my swing was. What I had been working on before I took a little break was exactly what the doctor ordered. I just need to keep working on my right side stability and getting my [...]
