I've known for several days now but just getting time to post this. Been so busy with work and other stuff. A buddy of mine who is a member at the course I work at, qualfied for the U.S. Open. He's a super nice kid with a level head and a hell of a game. I would love to see him make the cut. Good luck Chris!!!

Thursday Friday
2:42 9:12 A-Chris Condello, Heathrow, FL

Congrats to your buddy!

Hope to see the name, keep us updated with scoring if you can.

That is very exciting. Does he have an account on golfwrx so i can congratulate him?

CONGRATS MAN>>>

Hey thats great news! Keep us posted on his progress

Jason Dufner is playing as well, hes posted a few times here in the past

Anyone else?

Wow! That's awesome! Best of luck!

Anyone lookin for a caddie?

No he doesn't have an account on here. I'll try my best to keep everyone up to date on his scores.

Tell him we-all said "good luck".

Any chance at a name? I'll be there tomorrow and I'll look for him playing a practice round.

It should be in the first post. Chris Condello.

hahaha If I could read.........I'd be fat, dumb and literate.

Good luck to your pal. Amazing achievement.

Looks like he got some ESPN face time just now... nice bird on 11! COOL

Chris ended up shooting 79(+9). He was going along pretty well but kind of lost it towards the end. Here's hoping to a good round tomorrow and making the cut!

Jimmy Robert just did a nice piece on the people who went through the qualifying and it included Chris Condello. Was a very nice story.

He ended up at +22. Made two birds in a row today but had some rough holes otherwise. Either way I'm still proud of him. He got to play in the US Open. He got to live pretty much everyone here's dream.

Thanks to everyone who wished him well.

Kyle,

When we going to see you in the Open???? When you coming back up north again? I drove by the exit for Twin Hills 3 weeks ago and thought of you.

Mike

I saw him playing in the practice round on Wednesday, and he was signing anything people wanted, huge smile on his face, and his whole family was walking with him so you could just tell he was loving all of it. Always nice to see that rather than some miserable tour players, but congrats to him on the opportunity of a lifetime!

Glad to hear that. He said there were some groupie chicks following him so he signed some stuff for them too . Overall he said it was the best experience of his life, hands down. He came back with huge smile on his face despite the scoring. He said he is really pumped because he hit it about as good as all the guys he played with, but it was just the greens that got to him. So he's got some confidence going.



Mike good to hear from you. I was actually up north last month for a week. Crazy busy while I was there. Weather was nice the first two days, 85° and sunny. Then it was 50°, rainy and windy the next three. Kinda miserable. Oh well. I'm hoping to stop home sometime in the fall for a few days. If I do I'll get in touch and we'll have to tee it up. How's the little one doing?

Hey,

Mia is getting HUGE, she will be 20mths old in 2 weeks. Been crazy busy on this end. I bought a new house up on the NH border in a really nice town. I went to the BofA Champions Tour event today with my buddy who I used to play Twin hills with, we are going to plan a day trip down there for the end of July for old time sake.

You playing much or working too much. You a +hdcp yet? Mine is rising like gas prices!

Congrats on the new house. That part of the northeast is beautiful. Let me know how Twin Hills goes...

Not playing at all really. Too busy with work and other stuff. I played 3 times when I was home and once down here since. Not to mention the heat.
