I apologize if this as been discussed before, but I am curious how much money does this average guy on tour receive for being a taylor made, titleist or nike equipment pro etc. I know most guys struggle to make the cut so I would be interested to see how much they are pulling in on the sponsorship alone.

There is a wide variance of course, but well known but not hugely successful players will get several hundred thousand dollars per year and the bigger names will get several million dollars per year, with bonuses for winning.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

And the local pro playing regional comps may not even get all his equipment free. A pal of mine (pro) qualified for the british open about 3 years ago (Birkdale) Taylor Made approached him on the range and invited him to come to the tour van he came away with everything he wanted, but no cash and finished the first 2 days 1 place from last, John Daly was last.

He's got a great story about how he bested John Daly in the Open, got hooked up with Taylor Made, and then sold it all on Ebay. Ok, I made the Ebay part up but a lot of guys in the club ranks have done it on the down low.

Uh, what did he come away with? Afterall, he already had his equipment by that time. Did they give him a couple of boxes of TM balls?

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
