DEAR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND FANS,

I have decided to retire from the world of professional golf.  I can't handle the travel and being away from my family any more.  I feel that if I continue to play, I would be missing too many important events with my family and friends.   Therefore, ryannietfeldt.com will cease on January 12th, 2007.  I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for all the support you have given me over the past 3.5 years.  It has been quite a ride.  I have had many ups and downs over the past years and I am very happy for the opportunity that was given to me.  Although I didn't reach my goal of playing of the PGA Tour, I am leaving with my head held high knowing that everyday I gave professional golf everything I had to give.  I met a lot of very nice people along this journey and I will always respect everyone who stood beside me as I took this chance to follow my dream!  Thank you and God bless!

Sincerely,

Ryan Nietfeldt

P.S.  I would personally like to thank each and every person who came out and watched me play at the Cox Classic.  I really appreciated the support and hope you all had a great time at Omaha's premier Golf event.  I would also like to thank Tournament director Jamie Alt, and Board president Tom Wilkinson, for the sponsor's exemption and such a wonderful experience.
 

Special Thanks to my Cox Classic sponsors:  Beardmore Chevrolet, Shonsey Wealth Management, Jelecos and Indian Creek Golf Course.  Please click on their logos to view their websites.
