The fact is I'm good enough to play on tour, but the reality is it's not a desire. And that's because you have to practice for HOURS every day. Golf is a game of inches, it's a game of misses.

I'd rather stick at the amateur level and have fun and not be forced to play for a living. And to be honest, I can make way more money in business. Golf pay sucks unless you're top 50 in the world. And to get there good luck living a family life, it's an enormous sacrifice and more work than anyone could imagine.

But I'll put my hat out there and try to qualify for the majors and play in the big tournaments soon, but I don't think I could ever express the commitment it takes to take it to the PGA tour level.

Another tricky thing about golf is this. Can I beat Tiger Woods? Yes I can. But here's the truth, I could only beat him probably 1 out of 20 times.

And that's what seperates those guys from people like me. His miss will be off by 5 yards, mine will be off by 25. If he hits a bad drive it's in the rough. If I hit one it's out of bounds. PGA Tour level consistency is UNREAL.

I'm just not willing to be on the course 10 hours a day 7 days a week and eat, breathe, and sleep it. It takes the fun out of it for me.

Sorry for the long post, but there's a lot of misinformation out there about this.
Cool post Ricky. I totally understand what you mean and I respect your view 100%. You're a total class act too explaining your situation and view without coming back at me like I just wanted to offend you or something.


The man behind Grey Goose vodka understood that Americans want to pay more—You just have to give them a good story. Now he has a new tale to tell. it’s about a tequila called Corazón.
