Point taken. Whatever happened to Beth Bauer? She grew up playing here in the Tampa area, and was a very promising talent.Soxngolf, you're right for those two. But there are a LOT of people who were just as promising as juniors and didn't make it in the LPGA. Can I name names? Beth Bauer was supposed to tear up the place in 2002 or so. She's not even on the nonexempt list any more. Clarissa Childs was a hot shot in South Carolina. Graduated from college in 1997--her highest earnings year, she made $17,700 in the LPGA. She's STILL playing the Futures tour. My point is simply that being a fabulous junior isn't the same as the LPGA and isn't an accurate predictor of success there.
I would suggest that if a player like Beth fails by the time she's 21 (which means she'd had a few years on tour to get it right,) then she still has plenty of time to go back to college.
