Road to the PGA tour, Golf takes Hard Work, Dedication, Determination, Perseverance, and Consistency

It is official. I have decided to take the plunge and test my skills, education, and mental capabilities by trying to play professional golf for a living. It is going to be a long road, one that will have many trials and tribulations, but achieving greatness does not come without great sacrifice.

I am going to be publishing my story as I go along, from tip and tidbits I come across, sports psychology, practice habits, drills, tournament trivia and data, how to's, mini tour education, and many other topics in hopes to help those that want to chase their dream as well. I am very excited about this opportunity and can't wait to give continuous feedback and blog entries here for the viewers that I have.

So far the steps that I have taken to get this dream in high gear.

1. Erase all preconceived ideals of what is going to happen and take it one day at a time
2. Create a 3 year game plan and timeline that is realistic
3. Update the old equipment and go through a complete fitting for all 14 clubs in the bag. 
4. Create a 6 month tournament schedule that included some very minor mini tour tournaments and gradually getting back into the competitive mind set.
5. Creating a graduation scale of tournaments
6. Finding a mentor/swing coach that I trust and has tour proven experience
7. Creating a solid regimented practice/workout schedule. 
8. Developing a strength in my game (something I can always count on)
9. Going in 100% and not looking back. 

This decision to take the plunge has been many years in the making and not just an impulsive decision. This is something that has always been in the plans it was just a matter of time before I was going to be able to put 100% of efforts into it. I finally have the time and knowledge to get myself to the next level and see what I am made of. Just me against myself on this journey and I would have it no other way. 

If you are looking to take the plunge I suggest you do it, and do it 100%. Golf is a game that will test every fiber of your being and no matter how strong you think you are, it can break you down at any time. Those that become great golfers are those that fight back and dig as deep as they can to get back on top. It is not going to be an easy task, but I am mentally prepared for the challenges ahead and will face challenges with veracity and tenacity.
