Ok here goes....this is a massive action faking/money chasing thread full of so many limiting beliefs that I’m not entirely sure where to start.
I spent 8 years as a PGA Head Professional at a high end private club in La Quinta, CA. While there I played with some of the top PGA tour players, legends of the game and spent countless hours with their coaches and the highest rated teachers in the world.
First, I love your enthusiasm to dominate the game, you need that kind of attitude. The fact that you are waiting for the perfect time suggests that while you may be exceptional at golf, you have a long road ahead of you. If you are THAT good that world domination is an option then there are plenty of smaller tournaments and tours you can participate in and you should have no trouble winning every one you enter. In addition, if you are good with the members, play with some of them. Blow them away with how good you are and gently insert your goal to play professional. I saw many an aspiring pro get backed by a wealthy member of our club.
Why aren’t you working from 5am-1pm and practicing the rest of the day or vice versa? Ian Poulter was an assistant pro at a course before he made it. Of all the tour guys I’ve met and played it I’ve never seen them spend more than 4-5 hours in a given day practicing/playing. They would burnout and stop loving the game.
What I can attest to is that some of the best teachers alive today are NOT good players at all, nor do they have any “credentials” if you can teach golf, people don’t care how you learned or how good you are. You could easily teach the game IF you can find your way into that market.
When you read Unscripted pay attention to the part where MJ describes the guy with the “cure for cancer.” Would you care where he went to Med school let alone if he even graduated 2nd grade? Golf is the same way. Make somebody better and they don’t care and don’t ask if you personally can’t break 80.
You are 100% correct that golf is an expensive game and a difficult one, there are many problems with the game and that creates many potential solutions/business ideas.
@mikey3times stick a tee down in the ground in front of the ball and focus on getting the tee out of the ground, you’ll HAVE to hit down on the ball and taking a divot after to achieve that.
