Re: amature vs. pro need help

I don't think that you should entertain even the notion of thinking about turning pro until you can consistently shoot in the 70's. Go out an play in some tournaments first -- win some amateur events first. Then you can think about declaring yourself a pro.

Also, I wasn't looking down on you, I was just pointing out the correct way to spell a word. The written word has its rules so that communication between people can be as clear as possible. If you don't communicate well, misunderstanding occur, and you may get bad answers and bad advice because people are confused. It is as simple as that. It has nothing to do with me judging you in anyway whatsoever, it has everything to do with effective efficient clear communication.

Let me give you an example very pertinent to your situation. The rules of golf are pretty complex. If they weren't written correctly -- bad spelling, bad grammar, bad punctuation -- they would be even much harder to understand. Making things as clear as possible -- that's why the rules are there.
