How do I find funding to persue my golf career?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010
AndyLee asked:


I am very interested in golf. I started about 3 months ago, I play on a regular basis about 3 times a week. I am continually getting better and working with a pro to perfect my swing. I am looking to find some type of help with the funding for lessons, training, equipment, ect. I am mainly looking to pursue golf for college and possibly and hopefully further it to the Nationwide tour.
Also, I am 21 years old, I appreciate the advice, but I don’t think I can get into the junior leagues, but maybe the adult amateurs, do you think I’m starting too late? I mean I learn very quickly, I’m competitive (even though sometimes I think I’m too hard on myself) and the main thing right now is that I am determined. I am about to spend 2 grand at golf tech for 6 months of weekly lessons and unlimited practice…..In comparison from the pros to the good amateurs, what is the competiton like in the tournaments.

Thanks for all of your help!

How big a disaster is it that Nike is going to have to recall all of it’s SUMO 2 drivers?

The SUMO 2 doesn’t meet USGA C.O.R standards, and all current models in the market will have to be replaced to be legal. How badly will this damage Nike’s image in golf?

Did I start golf to late to get a golf scholarship?

Saturday, October 31st, 2009
rodkaragui asked:


I barely began playing 4 months ago when I joined my high school golf team. Two months ago I turned 15. I was wondering how good do you have to be to get a golf scholarship. How hard do you practice? What kind of instructor do you need? What kind of equipment? Did I start to late. How do I enter tournaments? .How do I get noticed?
Every nine holes I play I average a 45. My first tournament I shot 105..No one in my family plays golf so Ime on my own. My goal is to one day play college golf. Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

The timless question: how can I improve my golf game?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Fear #52 asked:


I’m 17 years old and usually score about a 95 through 18 holes (It’s not good, I know.) I’ve been golfing for about 14 years now and i’ve been getting better recently. About a year ago I was really good with my woods and not so good with my irons and after taking about 6 months off I come back and find my wood shots to be horrible and my irons to be pretty good. I am trying to find my wood shot again, do you have any tips for me? I use a 8.5 degree driver and I when I hit it good I hit about 260 yards. I’ve also got alot better at my chipping and putting recently but still have much room to improve, are there any exercises I can practice in my yard?

Questions:
1) How can I get my good wood hits back?
2) Are there any exercises to practice my putting and chipping in my yard without any special equipment?

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.

Manuel
