Hey,

I was wondering how one would go about starting a pro career. Sponsors? traveling expenses? etc...

maybe someone can share their story about how they started their career?

I would like to play on a tour.

I will practice and prepare to win every tournament I enter next season.

I'd think winning or doing well in whatever format you elect to pursue would be a good start.

A local golf course in my area recently hosted a stop on the Hooters mini tour. This is a pretty tough course (nothing outragious, but not a cow pasture either). The course was set up for the tour (long rough, fast bent grass greens) and the winner posted a 19 under for the 4 day tourney. That surprised me. Even on the mini tour circuit those guys are really good. Good luck...

You just mised the Canadian Tour Q School. There are two a year.

I hear mixed reviews of the Canadian Tour. Travel and lodging is inexpensive. Most players travel with each other, and local families put oup golfers in their homes. But, the prize money isn't that great, so its hard to forge out a living on that tour if you aren't up in the top 10, week in a week out.

At 22 you should try and play in as many events as you can, whether you cash or not. I wish I'd have known about these tours at your age.

I found this link a while back that lists most of the tours in North America... http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Golf/Orga...ns/Mini-Tours/

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Selling Golf Clubs

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
