Getting out on a course to play is nearly impossible this time of year down here...so making time to practice is a must!
Here are the pairings for Tuesday’s qualifier in Ft Myers. The tournament will be held right here at Lely Resort in Naples. I’ll post the link for online scoring tomorrow evening but you can navigate there from the link below as well.

Rock Kickass(h) from New Zealand ?? Again . OMG
Today was a grind. All-in-all...I think Tom played well. He only missed 1 fairway & 4 greens. Even his putting looked okay...but he couldn’t get anything to fall. He’s not sure if he was misreading the greens or if there’s an issue with his stroke - that’s something we’ll look into tomorrow or Wednesday (basically I’ll record him putting & we’ll send it off to Mike to take a look at if we can’t figure it out ourselves based on previous recordings). On top of that, the course played long and if you know Tom’s game, you know he’s not the longest player out there.
So while disappointed, he will put this behind him and regroup this week in preparation for the next qualifier, which is a week from tomorrow in Ft Myers. I will post that information as that day gets closer.
I missed 17 greens in regulation today
Well on the up side his buddy Sonny Skinner made the cut. He could caddie for him for some extra coin ??
He’s not that short. He’s got game. Keep going Tom and Leslie! He will make it. Keep it coming. Love the updates!
You'll get that putter Werk-ing! Sending good thoughts and vibes your way.
When and where in Fort Myers is next weeks qualifier?
Another crappy day in Florida...they’ve had about 8” of rain here in the last week so we’re expecting LC&P to be in effect tomorrow as balls are plugging in the fairways. Because of that, an already long, difficult course (6916 yds and a slope of 144) is going to play ALOT longer and more difficult!
Sounds like "werk" conditions!
Good luck!
“The weather does not suck here.” 😂😆
Toni’s a mudder
Get a gym membership and none of these ol geezer tourneys will seem too long!
The harder the better for Tom Werkmeister. Good luck tomorrow!
Practice makes perfect...or so we hope! The weather does not suck here...
Taylor Swift it werk
Go get ‘em Werk!
Will there be a link for the qualifier next week?
Best of luck Tom!! Go get em!!
Well THIS qualifier is truly a who’s who of senior professional golf! We head over to Boca Raton tomorrow for practice Rounds...the qualifier is Monday.
Tom better bring his AAA-game or this will be a short trip to Boca Raton! Top 4 advance to the event.

I realize this is late...I’ve been suffering a bit of writer’s block. However, last night we went to a party with a bunch of people from Michigan that we’d met recently. It was nice to hear people you don’t know say they’ve followed us through my blogs! Because of that I felt compelled to finish a blog I started last month....I hope you enjoy reading it. I will try to get back to writing once a month (unless something exciting warrants sooner) 😊

Great article! Keep up the great WERK!
Keep up the good work Leslie! And Go team Werk!😀
Leslie I enjoyed the read, thank you for sharing your experience. Looking forward to more stories on the life / wife of a golf pro😁
Well written and so informative! I knew the scores and what it all means, but its nice to hear the underlying story. Good luck team Werkmeister!
Tom: Can we talk next Saturday on The Sports Project Radio Show? 11am
I hope everyone is having a great start to 2019! Facebook keeps yelling at me to post something...fact is there’s not been much to post about. We’ve been in Naples since Jan 5th. Tom plays golf most every day; either in a game with friends or fellow Michiganders he’s made friends with, or practicing at Treviso Bay’s practice facility. Having (Associate) status on the Tour means he’s a member at all the TPC courses across the US. It also means that a lot of places will let him play for free when he plays with a member. Fiddler’s Creek (where we’re staying) has been nice enough to let him play anytime for free (and he can bring guests) so that’s been nice too. We’re so thankful for the kindness of the people we’ve met down here...and obviously of our sponsors or we wouldn’t be here.
Two weeks from tomorrow is his first qualifier of the year, in Boca Raton. We’ll be meeting up with his buddy Scott Pieri who has the same status as Tom this year; which will be fun for both of them as they can coordinate where they’re staying & work their contacts to mutual benefit (Scott arranged for a place for Tom to stay while at the qualifier in Boca through one of those contacts). I will also help them to do this a little more cost-effectively. They’ve really developed a great friendship based on the shared desire to be successful at this level. We are thankful for Scott and his friendship for sure!
I’ll start posting again regularly before the Boca qualifier. After that our schedule gets pretty hectic so get ready to see me in your feed again...we’re more than ready to get this show on the road! 🏌🏻♂️
Tell him to practice that hook lie from the left rough on 18 🤣
🎼”It’s going to be a great year!”🏌️
We will be in Naples area the next three days, hope to run into yous
Can't wait to cheer our favorite pro on to success!
Keep working hard and enjoy the time, oh by the way it is 0 degrees here this morning!
Cool
Keep up the great Work you two! You know I will be following!
Tom's schedule is available to view now...I've added all the Sunbelt Tour events into it, but he's not sure which (if any) he'll be playing in this year. I'll keep updating this as we learn more about the qualifiers (dates/times).

Thanks Leslie
Wishing all our friends & family a joyful & prosperous new year! Next hole, next shot, new chance to make birdie! 🎉 🏌🏻♂️

Merry Christmas to you
Tom got to spend some time with his boss Scott Dieleman yesterday playing TPC Sawgrass with a couple customers. One of the perks of having some status on the tour is having a membership at Sawgrass & playing privileges at all the TPC courses! When we move down to Naples next month he will utilize TPC Treviso Bay as his home course & practice facility.
Gotta have a great practice facility!
I want to join in on the Scotty Dieleman praise group. He is one of my all time favorites. It would be hard to find anyone who is a better all around great guy.
I took diels in when he was homeless
Hey Scott Harmsen, when is Tom Werkmeister taking us to TPC? Has he mentioned that yet?
Scott was super nice to me when I was a clueless young equipment rep. I appreciated his help!
Scott is great. Like you and Tom, proud to say.......our friends
Very Nice!!
Sorry I didn’t make a post yesterday. It was a rough day emotionally for all 3 of us. The stress of what could’ve/should’ve been took it’s toll (mostly on Tom & I - Mike is amazingly positive) and it was difficult to get past. Obviously having been so close to the ultimate goal and then watching it slip away, no matter how hard you try, is devastating - both to experience as a player & to watch as a wife.
I will write a blog about these past few weeks & explain in better detail. I think it’s important to let you in on the not-so-great side of our story because after all, I promised to take you all along with us on our journey. It can’t all be hearts & roses, there are thorns in there too.
The next couple of months will be a bit of a break for Tom. We’ll be back in Michigan for the holidays from Dec 17-Jan 5 and then we’ll come back to FL (Naples) where will stay until the end of March. The Sr Tour events will start up again in February so he’ll have some time to practice & work through some swing issues he’s having during that time.
Thanks for your well wishes & support...it means more than you know. #teamwerk
Hang in there Leslie and Tom. And make sure to call us when you get to Florida. You can come up to the Hideaway for a round. The best is yet to come!
Where in Naples?
Congratulations Team Werk! Long road is better than no road!
I am still very proud of you and your accomplishments don't ever stop trying. Love you guys
you may not havepreached your goal yet, but it is still attainable.
good luck
Many fall, some get up. I’m willing to bet Tom always gets up.
Sorry that you guys didn't make the top 5. But what a nice run it was. Keep the faith. I'm sure Tom keeps learning new things out there which in itself is exciting . Loved following you online. Have a nice holiday 😁
Proud of you Tommy and Boogs!!! Learn and grow.
#KeepMovingWerk
Our hearts are full of pride for the effort and difficulty that you have gone through these last few weeks. The positive is no ground was lost and we know you will make that end dream come true. Love you friends...🤩
You said it Mo👍 Keep on keepin' on you guys❣️❣️❣️
Congratulations on making it through Q School. See you when you come back
Always here for you!
The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Don’t give up!!!
I was watching online !!! Love y’all
Tom, we are all so proud of you. Keep grinding, you’ll get there.
Keep your chin up Tom Werkmeister keep at it your a great player!!!
One step at a time. Never give up. Good things are coming your way. Would love to see you guys when your in tow
In a time that I was at one of life’s low moments, a wise man told me “Everything will be fine in the end. If it isn’t fine now, you are not at the end”. I found/find that statement to be extremely hope-filled. Keep up the hard work and dividends will be paid.
Love you guys!!!!
It’s gonna happen, patience is key. Happy holidays.
Ok
Arms around you two.
Followed online all 4 days Was like I was there,but very stressed Play like a champ babe That is who u r GO TEAM WERK TEAM WERK MAKES DREAMS WERK LUV U GUYS Enjoy the time off See u in Michigan in a few weeks
So the report is 3 bad shots cost him 4 strokes...but all-in-all Mike is very pleased with his ball-striking. Honestly, I’m such a wreck after having to stay home today & watch online that I really don’t feel like posting anything else. My ulcer is back & I’m tired.
Lots of Werk left to do.
9:50am tee time tomorrow
#teamwerk
"Cream" always rises to the top. Team Werkmeister will get this done. Mike is excellent and Leslie you are fantastic. Get'em Tom!!!!!!!!
All will be well. Trust it!
Tom, you are the best player any of us know, you’ve got this. Leslie, I shared your ulcer today. Literally no work got done today.
Tom is right where he needs to be! Keep grinding!!!
Leslie just try and stay calm and say a few prayers!!! It will all Werk out no matter what happens tomorrow!!!
All of Werk's Work about to pay off.
I’ll carry the ulcer, Hope you feel better! Tom, just do it!
He’s right in the mix !!!! Let’s go WERK !!!!!
Doing great!! Stay steady and make a couple more putts and everything will be set for an easier program!!! Nice Werk!!!
Keep it rolling team Werk!
You got this Tommy!
Your right there Machine. Stay sharp! You got this thing.
Right where you need to be - play solid tomorrow and all will work out.
Tied for 5th place is damn good! Best of luck to you tomorrow Tom!
Tomorrow is gonna be a great day!! Hope you feel better.
Get it, Tom! Proud of you!
Awesome! Keep it going. Good luck!!
He will nail it. Stay positive!
Climbing on up...keep it going, you can do it🤩
You got this!!
Once again, the score you see online does NOT tell the story of what happened out there. Tom’s swing problem reared it’s ugly head again. He has a drill he needs to practice EVERY day & before EVERY round until he gets past this particular glitch. Today he did not do that drill before his round (trusted he had it under control). In his words, he had the mid-iron swing yips. However, he hit his driver well (barely) missed 2 fairways, hit his chips & pitches great & putted pretty good. All these things made for a stressful round, full of scrambling to keep what ground he’d gained. It was cold (by Florida standards) 49 degrees, windy and the greens were running about 12’s. All this made for a great day for Tom to have swing issues - because he’s so good at playing in challenging conditions - his “poor play” in those conditions equates to another’s good play in those same conditions. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, that’s how you move up 10 positions when you’re not playing your best. 😉
10:54am tee time - much Werk to be done.
#teamwerk
My point was his score looked good on paper...it was not so watching it. He did well to scramble his way to a good score.
Seems like he's doing just fine to me.....positive vibes!
I just read this and thought he shot a million. Checked the scores and he did great. Get it done Tom
Tied for 8th is a good position to be in... couple good rounds now and he'll be there!
Grinding is what you do best...you can do this🤩
I was worried to look at the leaderboard after reading the first part of the message. I looked and was very happy! Keep grinding team!!
I think he played great! Keep up the great Work!
Never let up! Hope conditions stay "Michigan Favorable"!
Nice outcome Tom
Keep positive and play your game. In great position. Go Team Werkmeister
Buddy you should be proud of yourself for grinding it out and pulling out this number. Cuz you know you can do much better so when your bad days are like this man your good days are going to shine very bright. Keep it up one more day! Go get them
We're excited! Go Tom! PMA. Positive mental attitude
Never be satisfied, grind away!!!
Stay on the grind bud, keep it up!
Keep it going Tom! You’re doing awesome!
Great playing and great position Tom
Lots of folks back home in Michigan trying to Will your putts in the hole from afar. Have a great day out there
Time for a "who's on fire " round!
You got this!!!
Finish Strong !!
68 today!
