I'm confident I can make it next year with some corporate financial support. Just the entry fees are $11,250 , The Northern and Southern Opens cost more to fish because of the distance we have to drive cross country. I have until November to raise some sponsors so I can register for all of the 2013 Opens. If anyone can turn me on to some business contacts that are willing to support my efforts it would be appreciated. I've invested everything I have over the last five years to get to where I am now....I'm ready to take the last step but can't do it on my own. I'll need to raise a little more but maybe I'll get the results I need to be successful in my bid to qualify and that will carry me the rest of the way...I know I'm that close....I wish I could have continued to self sponsor...but, this market has sucked, you can't really call it investing anymore.
