Unseasonably warm weather in March led many golf courses in Southeastern Wisconsin to open early. Shown are golfers at Brown Deer, taking advantage of a 70-degree day. before the first one was played in 2000. It was tough to do and time consuming, but it was by far the best thing I have ever done in my life. Just knowing that we had a hand in helping some kids was so rewarding and so worth it. KEY: How did you get the nickname "Skip"? Kendall: I don't know how Skip came about. The story is that when I came home from the hospital people started calling me Julie as a nickname. My real name is Jules. My wife and family today call me by my given name – even my friends. Skip seems to be my golf name now. KEY: How did you injure your thumb and what's the outlook for the rest of the season? Also, how much time will you spend on the Nationwide and how much on the PGATour? Kendall: I injured my thumb holding a door open for a woman, but didn't see her child running up to the door which then snapped back my thumb when the child hit the door. It was a freak acci- dent. I actually played for a year and a half with my left thumb off the grip until the pain got too great and knew I had to have surgery. So far my thumb is holding up pretty good. I don't think it will ever be 100% but certainly good enough to play some good golf. Since I won the first event of the Nationwide Tour, I probably will spend most of the year playing that Tour. The goal is to get my full status back on the PGA Tour. 37
