When I was younger it was always a dream of mine to play pro golf, and throughout my life I've just never found the determination to do so. There were always other things in my life that I was distracted by.
After working at Golfsmith for a few months now I've learned so much more about golf equipment and clubmaking and am developing relationships with golf pros that will help me make the swing changes that I've been wanting to make for a few years now. Additionally, I've had a few other things happen in my personal life that have made me believe that I can really work for it and make golf a WAY more important and prominent part of my life.
Background: I'm 23 years old, college grad. I've been hovering around a 1-2 handicap for the last 6 years or so. I've been playing since I was about 7 or 8 and have been playing in tournaments since I was about 13. I was the medalist at my high school conference championship senior year, and played one year in D1 college. I haven't won any other tournaments. Haven't really even contended in anything else.
Basically I'm just wondering what you guys think. Think I can make a run at it? Are there many stories out there about players who waited a while to make their run?
