Qualified to NHC 9

Hello everyone,

I will be attending my first NHC National Tournament. I qualified through NHCQualify.com website. I finished with $88.80 which landed me in 4th place out of 61 for round 2 qualifier.

Sorry, I was just proud of my accomplishment. Didn't mean any by it.

You should be proud of your accomplishment. It is very hard to qualify. Welcome to the board!

Congratulations on making it into a very tough tournament and doing it before Memorial Day!

Are you in Germany full time? Seems like a long way to travel, does the NHC pay for your airfare?

Best of luck,
Jim

No, I have to provide my own transportation. NTRA picks up the tab for hotel room for the three days in January. I am in military stationed in Germany right now. This is extra special because I did this while I am finishing up my one year in Afghanistan. Can't wait to try my hands and brain going against the best people in this tournament.

Certainly not offered as a political statement, but....

Thank you for your service to our country.

And, congrats on qualifying for the tournament!
