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

What do you mean?  I already PM'd him my credit card number, checking acct number, and SSN.

I'm gettin' in on this opportunity EARLY, before he stop accepting sponsorships!

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?

It's too amusing.

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/

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:

    • Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.
    • Day 111 - Worked on my grip and higher hands in the backswing. Full swings with the PRGR. 
    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛
