Well done Brian Manzella

I have enjoyed reading about Brian's success. Watching Robert Rock today showed me quite a bit. There was a phone call about Trackman last week and Robert wins the tournament. Do i believe Brian phone conversation helped??? yes. Mr Rock had visa problems coming to America, had to pay many dollars to get here (at 1;30-2 am)

He had no practice round, had never seen the course. I believe he is either -1 or even

i think -1. I say good going to Mr Rock and to you Brian you have shown me what i was hoping you were all along

Rocky has worked with Mac directly a number of times and Matt Belsham occasionally since, in fact in his winners interview thanked the MORAD Project directly. It's on the European Tour website if anyone wants to check it out.

Here are two more clearer descriptions of the problem

1. First link says as soon as he qualified he applied. Problem was he had a teenage drunk ticket in his background and he must be interviewed and approved, and the process is glacial.
U.S. Open: Robert Rock gets his visa just in time - The Early Lead - The Washington Post

2. In the second link he denies the 24k story, though he did get some kind of help to push it along at one point.
What they said: Robert Rock - PGATOUR.COM

Nonetheless, kudos to him for trying to get here and then shooting a 70 on no sleep and no practice.

Rosaforte reports in Golf World that Rock said his trip over is costing him $14,000.

I take that to mean besides any lawyer/visa expense also his airfare, lodging, "taxi" ride and so on.
