All of us see the winners in what ever sport we are watching and of course for every winner there is a loser. There are many reasons why one side wins and the other loses and all involved would say that they were happy to be able to compete on a grand stage, but what about those who never get there. We often don't get the chance to see those working so hard and giving all they have just to reach their grand stage but in the end fall short of their dreams.
Nobody can argue to feel sorry for any competitor that either loses on the grand stage or never realizes the dream of playing on such a stage it is the risk one takes for following the dream. I guess one can say luck has just as much to do with winning and losing as all the hard work and practicing to improve on ones skills. That is a very scary concept for competitors that in some cases it might not matter what they do if none of the breaks go their way, from my own personal it can be pretty disheartening. Well like I said earlier it's a risk that one takes to chase the dream and needless to say there are no guarantees on the field of play.
One of the biggest reasons for this post is that PGA Q-school and there can at least a hundred different stories of heart break with players from all over chasing their dream. The only thing I can say that give any comfort for those who won't make it on tour is at least they had to courage to step up try when many others only give excuses for why they didn't make it big. After saying all of this I don't know what would actually be worse to make to within sight of a major championship and falling short or to never make to the big show at all.
