RE: Your Other Life-
I used to be in the pga of america for 10 years as a golf professional, played mini tour events, a few nationwide tour events, and also state run pga events within the pga of america. I got sick of the bullcrap with lousy stupid lazy don't know _hit about the golf business or have anypeople skills owners. So i left and became an outside sales rep and now promoted to vice president of sales and marketing for a large john deere dealership. Let me see i left the worthless golf business and make twice the amount and work less. I would say good move. I also enjoy playing golf again.
Future advice to any young people looking for a career in the pga. Don't, you will have a more rewarding life out of the golf business, just ask around there is a ton of turnover. if your not at the elite country clubs your just kidding yourself. There are alot of clubs that are not making money!
