Welcome to the new season of Teeing Off, where Devil Ball editor Jay Busbee and head writer Jonathan Wall take a day's topic and smack it all over the course. Suggest a future topic by writing jay.busbee@yahoo.com , or hit us on Twitter at @jaybusbee and @jonathanrwall . Today, Mr. Wall is absolutely on fire about the PGA Tour's new Q School plan. Wall: This appears to be it, sir: After years of living with the same old seasonal schedule and player-development process, the PGA Tour appears to be on the verge of scrapping the entire system starting next year. I could go on a rant about this, but I won't ... at least not yet. For now, let's get into some of the details, including the decision to scrap Q-School, move the start of the season fall and go to a wraparound season, and make the Nationwide Tour the new pipeline for aspiring tour pros, thereby forcing up-and-coming college kids and European players to forget about their dream of obtaining a card the old-fashioned way. In my opinion, this is the equivalent to college football bypassing a play-in game and going to a 64-team playoff. I don't know about you, but I think this idea is bound to fail.
