72 COSTON Jeff USA +13 77 68 79 77 301 € 9615.41

and at Atlanta it may have been this guy:

44 SCHULLER Rick USA +1 68 70 72 71 281 € 15939.57

So, that's about 37k American Money. There are 20 of these guys a year in the PGA Tour. If say it costs a minimum of 2k to go play it(expenses, lost income etc.) then, from Atlanta on, it's been about 200k out, and 37k in. This is supposed to be a good thing for you guys, and as an impartial viewer looking in, i'd say (if they really want to make it respectful for you guys) it would make a lot more sense to have 100k a year given out to the club pros who do best each year. It would be great P.R. The game can certainly afford it, and it would make much more sense to me, because, at the moment, it's a little degrading to see 20 club pro types spending hard earned money to struggle to get it back. I think the golfing world could have afforded to pay this Esposito guy 50k, given him the public recognition he deserves for what was probably a heroic type effort(under the circumstances.) That's just my opinion. It's a no brainer to me. I know (to you) it's an honor to go be out the money, but the rest of the world sees it as a guy one stroke short, and $2k or $3 k poorer for his efforts.

Schuller is right in Atlanta...dude hits it loooooooooooong.

Chip Sullivan was the one at Whistling Straights. Made $34k that week. 72-71-73-71 Thats pretty good playing, especially considering his sister was on her death bed and if I remember correctly she died that Sunday.

"Despite the solid play and the large payday, Sullivan said that his performance does not make him want to return to the Tour, where he last played in 1997 and made 11 cuts in 27 events."


"Roy Biancalana, a PGA Teaching Professional at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in West Chicago, Ill., on the other hand, is turning his winnings into a down payment on his 12th attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour."


To me, Sullivan is a Tour player who just didn't want to play the tour. If you make 11 cuts on the best golf tour in the world, then you're a tour player. Biancalana could probably of been on one of the 3 best tours in the world(Nationwide,Euro PGA, U.S. PGA, ) and maybe he did make it on one. I guess what I consider a club pro is someone who is a club pro by necessity(not because they find being on the tour too much work or family strain.) I would consider a true club pro to be someone who plays golf well, but has yet to come very close to making it as a tour player(talent-wise.)

A big weakness for this Holmes guy is lag putting. He isn't a horrible putter, but he gives himself par putts that shouldn't be as long as they are.

Holmes, Curtis, Romero, or Harrington...One of them should get it. Most of the others are chokes.
