Curling is one of the awesome sports that you can play better drunk or have to be drunk to play.

Hurry.   PM me and Iacas your credit card number, etc..   We need it to scout 2 more players and a coaching team for our newly found career at curling.  It takes money to buy those stones (that's what they are called, aren't they?).   The stones are only made by 1 or 2 companies in the world and are really expensive.  Once we win our Alllympic gold medals, we will melt it down to return your money with interest.  We take money orders.

Hi, my name is Jin Jeon.

Yes, it’s been a long story. I hope you’ve learned a little about me. The point of posting this here is to reach out to as many people as I can to find any interest in supporting me financially on my journey. If you are interested, please PM me and I will give you my email. I have a sponsorship proposal written and ready to distribute. As I said earlier, I am different than most that are going on this journey. I won’t and can’t be rash and say I'm destined to be on the PGA Tour and guarantee 10x payback. But I do have an Industrial Engineering degree from a reputable university and a means to pay you back if you decide to invest. Thank you for reading, please view the links below to see me on the range.

Don't worry, he has a degree in industrial engineering.  He's sure to pay you back either way.  There's basically zero risk.

I know, right?!  It's like he's offering to give away money.  How can you lose?

If the OP is serious, he should post his plan over at Kickstarter and see where it goes.

I'm guessing it'll go in the same direction as this thread.

It's kinda like coupons and BOGO deals: you're actually saving money by spending it.  I like it!

This is totally "creeping," as my daughters would say, but here are some other links. I only searched because it seemed like a scam:

Same post on at another forum: http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/912267-sharing-my-story-of-tour-aspirations/

A little more about Jin: http://jeonj2.wix.com/jinjeongolf#!b-bio/cy2g

A blog just started: http://jinjeongolf.blogspot.com/

Tourney results: http://www.mgagolf.org/search/node/jin%20jeon

I'd say Jin is sincere in his efforts, and perhaps not meaning to be a spammer at all. I see Jin as the latest Dan Plan, without the 10,000 hours theory. Just a guy who is gonna go for it..... like thousands of others.

I say: Good luck to you, Jin (although I doubt you'll have luck finding $$ here). It's admirable that you posted your story in hopes of finding support, but I think your story is not particularly uncommon. While you may not get money from people here, if you contribute posts about your passion for golf, I'll bet you'll find a lot of other support. Oh, and don't ask for money again. Tacky.

The websites don't prove he is any more credible.   It just shows he put more thought into his scam.   If it is not a scam, he is one disillusioned man who needs to see a shrink.   I don't mean to be harsh but PGA tour players don't grow on trees.

Watch this guy explode and become the new face of Nike worth hundreds of millions.  Everyone here will be depressed about throwing away a lottery ticket.

Who am I kidding.  I have about a dozen stained balls with random logos that I found in the junk that he can have though, send me a sase.

Well, thanks everyone for providing their opinion. It's more or less what I expected and to be honest, it's how I would react to this sort of post as well.

No, this isn't spam. I am for real and understand the odds against finding "some random person" online to invest in me. I'd guess the odds would be similar to that of actually making it on TOUR.

Either way, I posted this so I can get as many views as I can and so chose this site and GolfWRX as they're the two golf-related forums that get the most traffic.

Thanks to everyone who read/posted.

Hang around.  If you're that serious about golf, you'll find a bunch of like-minded people here who share your passion! :beer:

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
