i had that dream also. i actually played division1 golf.. a lot of guys i played against in college are on the nationwide, canadian, and new england pro golf tour. to play the mini tours is one thing but to make it to the show is another. the mini tour career pays very little and can be attainablefor someone who is a plus 1 or a plus 2.. but if your not trained to be a TOURNAMENT player than its very difficult to get to the pga.
unless when you play bad you still scrape out a 1 or 2 under par round and have the entry fee for q-school every year the percentages are very slim of getting to the pga.
i give a lot of people credit for having the courage to give it a shot. the most important thing to remember is when your grinding out there to make a cut just to win your entry fee money back the game takes on a whole new meaning.
mmm
