HOW TO BECOME A PRO GOLFER

@Nate Barbakoff If you are playing fairly well with your current set (irons in particular) it might actually be more helpful to get a gap fitting rather than a complete revamp of the entire set. I've had the experience of fitting (Club Champion in NYC) for a set of Epon irons - which cost a lot - and still ended up going back to my old iron set. It's not that the Epons were bad - but they did not really improve my game. The issue I have with the fitting was they only used the 7i as a baseline - and they sell you the set. There was no lie angle fitting per club, no gap fitting to adjust the lofts per club, etc. Sticking with my older irons (Sterling Single Length) and working on my game shaved 3 strokes of my handicap (from 7 to 4) in about a year. The point is, I can play the Epons I was 'fitted' for - but I can also play my older irons just as well. Maybe a driver fitting would be more beneficial as the shaft, head, weight, etc could really make a huge difference in your driving. But again, if there's an opportunity to improve on your fundamentals first - say your angle of attack is too steep, etc - you might want to correct/address that first - THEN get fitted for a driver. Getting fitted is definitely a great experience - but after two fittings - I probably won't do it again - unless the fitting is really a complete run through of all the irons and includes a gap fitting as well so I can dial in 14-15yards gapping per club (or unless I just want to buy a new set again - hahaha). Hope this helps.

Hi~ Thansk a lot for sharing your experiences and knowledges about GOLF. I started playing golf just in SCRRRM GOLF for six times. I am enjoying and had 2 BIRDIES.

[@dangordon7679]

Thank you Luke 🙏. I’m devoting the next twelve months to practice, with the goal of becoming a tour pro. I’m working two days a week and practicing all day for the rest of the week, as well as doing physical training and Muay Thai. It’s hard work, but I’m really enjoying it. Your video was really helpful Bro! It’s great to know what I’m letting myself in for. Have subscribed. Best of luck with future tournaments. Maybe we will compete one day! 🏆

[@momurda0937]

Agreed

[@stevenwilliamson5405]

Always comes down to wedge and putter. I'm really thankful that I can go out and play golf and really enjoy myself. Not that I don't try my hardest or try and improve my game but I don't have to deal with that enormous pressure of having to win inorder to feed my family. I know some people feed of those pressure cooker situations, almost like a drug they need to feel that to play at that level. As competitive as I am, and I used to be excessive, as I mature I believe golf can be a form of meditation. Perhaps it might (depending on one's intention) be considered a borderline spiritual practice.

[@asaftrejo1939]

I feel you

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

I second the meditation vibe. Gold has helped me deal with a heavy breakup, and a few toxic years. When out on the course, it's about being in nature, putting the phone away, and mentally switching on. Plus, I always walk which adds to the fitness and physicality of golf:)

[@salvadorrocha3165]

Great video man. I'm a pro golfer too and that's what I used to tell people whenever they asked me the same thing. However I felt like it sounded way too easy and not a true representation of what it means. It sounds like anyone could do it and that is not the case. I came with a better answer: you are considered a professional golf once you PLACE in a professional tournament and earn money. Being a professional is literally charging for what you do. Anyone can play in a professional event but not everyone can make a cut or finish high enough on mini tours to earn money.

Interesting video. I saw a news article a couple years back, a young girl trying to get on the LPGA. She needed about 120,000 US to break even with expenses, caddy wages, flights, hotels etc etc She did not make it coz, if you are not in the top 20 nearly every week ,Or actually win tournaments you will end up stressed out and in deep debt.

[@alanduncan9204]

@@qwaszx2 Hi, I agree. I have attended several LPGA Honda Classics in Thailand. The crowds are massive but compared to the PGA the money is nowhere in the same league. You are also right about the Korean influence. Many play under USA, Australian and NZ flags but the bottom line is they are Korean. Thanks for the reply.

[@williammills8953]

[@TechOutAdam]

What frustrates me the most is people saying if you're past 30, you're too old to ever win a PGA Tour. I just got done watching the Arnold series on Netflix and can you imagine if he listened to people saying he'd never make it into acting? It's all a mental game. No way are you ever too old to win a PGA Tour. I can't wait to see who is the first to win at 65 years of age or older!

[@Montanakid1988]

I’m 33 and barely starting out. Be honest. Do I stand any chance at turning this into a career or am I just wasting my time? I never really liked sports, and never played em growing up but I’ve been getting really attached to hitting balls at the golf range. I want to play. Im doing whatever I can to get better. But is it honestly worth it at my age?

[@ronniecarlton9805]

I don’t know what the rules are in the States but over in the UK you need to get down to a certain amateur level to be eligible to be considered and also to enter pro tournaments. Some tournaments you have to be scratch before you can tick the box to turn pro and also supply handicap certification. Even as a pro sometimes you need to get 2 signatures from other PGA professionals so you can enter the British Open qualification. You have to be 2 and below as an amateur and again provide proof. Just to clarify this isn’t the way to turn as a PGA professional, completely different.

[@LukeKwonGolf]

Oh thats actually really interesting! I didnt know that. I do rmr in NZ you had to actually go thru NZPGA q school to turn pro bc that was the only tour down there and it required you to go thru q school so turning pro was a bigger deal down there. I just forgot to mention in the video things could be different in other parts of the world

[@ronniecarlton9805]

@@LukeKwonGolf I think it’s a lot easier in the US to turn pro compared to other parts of the world because like you said in the video, all you have to do is sign a bit of paper 🤣.
