Kyle is back! Crazy to think that 1 year ago the team at No Laying Up gave me to green light to launch this thing. 

 at the time working his way through mini-tours while he prepared for Korn Ferry Q-School. A lot has changed in the past year for him, as he most recently secured his PGA Tour card through Korn Ferry Tour Finals. Not without a little stress, as Kyle found himself as the bubble boy at #25 on the list. This week he starts his PGA Tour career in Napa at the Fortinet Championship. Enjoy!

Nick Kimmel grew up in the small town of Moses Lake, WA. In 2008, Nick enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as a Combat Engineer. He was stationed in Japan after training. His time in service includes two combat deployments to Afghanistan. In December 2011 during his second deployment, Nick's platoon was tasked with building two small patrol bases in the Sangin Valley in Northern Helmand Province. On day four of the mission, Nick jumped off the forks of a forklift and landed on 40lbs of homemade explosives. Somehow, only 1/3 of the charge detonated. The blast instantly took both legs above the knee and his left arm above the elbow. After a long road of recovery Nick found himself with a renewed interest in golf. Next week Nick will play on his second Simpson Cup event. His story is about passion, drive and determination. Enjoy!

. BSB is a non-profit that operates out of Bozeman, Montana whose focus is strategic programs for Active Duty Special Operations Soldiers. What makes them unique is the Active Duty part of it all, as 99.9% of all other Military/Veteran related charity or Veteran Service Organizations focus on life after service. BSB accomplishes their mission by running multiple Task Forces (programs) throughout the year. They are one of the few Military/Veteran organizations that I can personally say is making a major difference in this space. To find out more and support the organization please visit them at
