DULUTH, GA — There are only a few times where the average man stares down 99 holes in less than 1 week.  However, Pat Boland indeed stares into a very close future that will have him making a huge move in the On Tour Championship with 5.5 rounds posted in 4 days.

"It is a major championship," says Boland.  "There is nothing else more important than 36 holes of tuneup on Wednesday before Round 1 on Thursday."

Golfapalooza IX begins on Thursday in Terra Alta, WV.  There are 29 players expected in the championship field.

Boland plans to travel in the early morning of Wednesday into Maryland for a round at Oakland Golf Club.  Then back over the border for a practice round at the tournament course.  Then one round each day at Alpine Lake Resort including a 9-hole scramble on Friday afternoon.

The Red Zone Alert expires in 27 days.  Ravinder Bakshi is currently in 1st position in quest of his first On Tour Championship.
