Not if you weren't on a major golf tour. It's the stupidest thing I have ever seen(having people in major golf tournaments when they aren't even qualified to play on a major golf tour.) They should respect the effort these guys make to get onto major golf tours. If they belonged, then they would (once in a while) contend for the win, but they don't belong in the tournament, and they always get their a-s-s handed to them on the weekend.

VIJAY is getting humiliated on the short putts. That is an ugly visual, and (of course) they can't wait to televise it.

These are the toughest golf tournaments in the world. Common sense would tell you that you should be good enough to qualify to play on a major golf tour before you are eligible to play in a major golf tournament. There are plenty of regular pga tour events for non-tour players to get invited to play.

Scuds....those guys on tour play all year, every week. Club Pros work for a living.

Well, who pays for them to go up to Michigan and do this? Do they have a separate prize fund for them? Cuz they ain't gunna make the cut. Not one of the 20 is gunna make any money are they? Don't get me wrong. I ain't saying them or you can't play with these guys on the tour, but you would need to play n' practice like these tour players do. I guess I am asking what's the point of taking spots from tour players that could possibly compete for the win.

We pay are own way to qualify. It cost me $285 to play in my section CPC in a couple weeks. If by some chance I play well enough to qualify for the National CPC in New Mexico next year, you can better believe I will have to fork over a few hundred dollars more for that entry fee, on top of paying for my own flight there, hotel room and other expenses. 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.

Would had loved to have the Silver Spoon like these Pros had....but I have to pay my own way also. Could had tried the local VFW to see if they could sponsor.

Going back out shortly.
My UE player fell a little on our former home golf course, but he's tied for the lead with University of Southern Indiana player, and a 9-time champ. Should run out there to watch the final 9, but I'll just go work on my game.

Nice day no heat, so no problem - LOL!!!
