Groupie :D

I love golf. I watch golf every chance I get, read all the golf magazines I can, and made a point of visiting St Andrews when I could. I have never played! Once I hit a bucket of balls ... It's weird :D

1/2 million of disposable income...I would drop everything and give it 5-6 years and see if I could make it to the tour...at least to say that I gave it a shot.

Wish for you that you could ... everyone should get the chance to try for their dream.

If I ever make it...you could be my first, and most likely only, groupie:cool: :cool:

Senior tour???? You'll have more time to prepare.

15 1/2 years....I better get started now:o

and hope that Tiger still aint playing

I'd do that for you - I'd recruit some young, cute things for you, too! :p

well!


lol

ouch there by the way about the senior tour.

if we all got to do what we dreamed of, i'd be a mounted policeman jockey pro tennis player....not necessarily in that order.

Im not into young chicks:D

In my 25+ years playing, I have only known 2 professionals that made money consistently. I use the term professional, since this was their only source of income. Many "professionals" have other sources of income, these 2 didn't. They had very different styles of play. One was a straight better. $1000 win, $2000 place on short price favorites. I don't know how he did it, but he had a sixth sense for when the chalk would get beat. He would go to the window and come back and say, "I changed my mind and didn't bet" and the 3/5 shot would run 3rd. Sometimes he would bet as much as $2500 win, $5000 place. He always doubled up on the place. If he got beat and got a $3.00 place price, he broke even. He would go several days without making a bet sometimes. He was very patient, but he won.

The other guy was well connected. He was formally in the harness racing business, and knew trainers, jockeys and owners from all over the country. He bet strictly on information. He made some huge scores.

Deb....speaking of mounting....ahh...never mind:p

That's right, us older, self-sufficient and financially-independent chicks rock.

We always have enough cash money on hand for bail when WE go out :D

I think I love you.....

Allright!!!!!! I can kill a chat in a hurry.:D

Stand in line, darlin' ...... :p

Hey! Combine your interests, and find a woman who has the bucks to allow you to play 100% of the time?

:o

Very interesting. Thanks for posting that.

;)

The thing is-
For someone like me who gets an over-inflated head from time to time and thinks I could maybe pull something like that off for awhile, I think doing it professionally would take all of the fun out of it.

I bet on horses because it's fun, and it's leisure. I take it seriously, but it's not my main source of income. So even when I get killed, I know I'll go to work and get a paycheck on Friday. Now if horse-betting were my career, I don't know if I could handle the emotional swings of getting nose'd at the wire and losing hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. The one thing I know for sure, is emotionally thrilling as a big win is, the feeling of losing a close one feels so much worse and stronger than the feeling of winning. I hope I made some sense there. I guess what I'm getting at, I'm not sure if I could handle the emotions of it.

I think the only way I'd consider it, is if I could go into it almost debt free. Where the bills are paid for awhile. And that's almost impossible, so I'll prolly never try it.
