I've decided to take the plunge and join our golf course men's club next week. One of the reasons I didn't before was I felt my game was just not there yet. I had a chance to see the various indexes of other members and I'd have to say that I could definitely hold my own.

Also I have a better chance of getting on for those earlier tee times and they play a men's club only tournament at the end of the month.

Anyone else in one?

I joined mine while I was first starting to play because I felt a little competition would force me to practice more/better which it has. Mine does not have enough members for flights so the top 6 gross and net winners for each event all receive pro shop credit. So it's competitive for everyone theoretically.

We play two tournaments a month and during the peak season it's nice to have a guaranted tee time. Once a month the club has a BBQ to feed us and also for out major events.

Overall I'm pretty happy that I joined and it's also been a good social atmospere and have meet many playing partners out of it.

I'm in one. We play Tuesdays. Nine holes: first three holes, second three, third three, total holes (for four points). I've never lost to anyone to whom I've given 4 strokes or less (on nine holes). I once gave a guy 10 strokes (he subbed for the #1 player on his team, and he was the #4) and he - a 22 handicapper - shot 38.

GROSS. So yeah, I've lost a few to those bums.

I'm in the Men's club at my course and it's pretty cool. We play 9 holes on Wednesday nights, each Wednesday there is a different game for the week, it's all based on handicaps and although there are some sandbaggers it's a pretty good time. This is the 4th year I've been in the club, it's only 4 years old itself so we've grown dramatically over the past few years, it's been pretty neat to see.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      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.
