If I finish top 20 there and qualify for the PGA at Hazeltine next year, every dime of expenses will come out of one pocket and one pocket only...MINE. So yeah, I think any Club Pro that qualifies has earned his right to try and make some $$ and compete against the big boys for 1 week.
Oh, by the way....the entry fee for every PGA Tour Pro to play this week...$100.

They don't compete(none of them made the cut.) You can't see this? There is only one way to compete against the big boys, and that's to play all the time (like they do.) It's really illogical to think you can compete with people that are constantly working on one thing(their game.) Somewhere along the line common sense has all the sudden no importance. I think they should have a separate pool of money to give these club pro types that play in this tournament. Otherwise , you have what we saw this week(guys missing the cut, and being out a lot of dough to play in some tournament against people that are far more ready to take on the course.) There is a separate pool for the eldest senior players on the Champions tour. Guys over a certain age compete with each other for that. It's what? Over 60, or something like that. You keep saying it's your championship etc. Well it would make sense if they had a way to reward them for simply doing well against their peers. In other words, this guy Espisito should probably have gotten 50 for top CLUB PRO (OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM.) If making the cut to get a check is the only way for them to get paid, then it's pretty much pie in the sky stuff.
