Playing on the Moonlight Tour he qualified from his second regular tour event to proceed to the Next level tournament called "NEXT". Unfortunately on this day he was in severe pain with a shoulder injury, he managed to finish but not as well or as high up the field as he could of without the injury Moore quotes" I’ve taught Simon since he begin playing, he has developed into a very solid & consistent professional golfer, for him to qualify at his second attempt at wind swept, Alaqua Lakes scoring 76 against a course sss of 74 was exceptional golf considering he had not played since November last year. Unfortunately an old injury flared up again a couple of days prior to the
"NEXT" level event & although he finished in the top half of the
field this was not what we both knew he was capable
