Hello everyone, my name is Thomas. I'm not a professional golfer, but I do consider myself an average golfer with five years of experience under my belt - most of it in the United States, but with some visits to European courses too. Every time I tee up for a shot, I take a moment to appreciate what a wonderful game it is and marvel at the beauty of the golf course around me. When I'm playing with friends I like to inject a bit of humor into the game while still trying to hit good shots (usually anyway!). Playing golf has enriched my life in more ways than one and I look forward to many more years pursuing my passion.

We live in a small town in Virginia, but due to my business, we need to travel quite a bit and stay overseas sometimes for a few months.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
