Book Description
Professional golfers have the opportunity to play a game they love and to earn big money doing it. Hundreds of players win more than $100,000 every playing season, and opportunities to compete are incredible for male and female golfers of all ages.

In this FabJob book the reader will discover why it is never too soon - or too late - to get started, how to develop the physical and mental traits of successful pro golfers, the lifestyle of a pro golfer, the best golf schools and top instructors, how to learn the rules of golf, how to find the best golf clubs, and more.

Detailed information is provided about playing on the Major Tours including the PGA, Champions, Nationwide, and LPGA, including how to enter the tours, the many different ways to qualify, the best ways for beginners to break in, and what the reader needs to know about National Qualifying Tournaments.

The reader will also learn how to get an agent and find sponsors. Also included are additional opportunities to make money playing golf through mini tours or developmental tours, international tours, and other careers in the golf industry.

This unique book includes insider tips from players, instructors, tournament officials, and equipment designers. The guide is fact-filled, and rich with stories and perspectives you can only get if you are allowed within the inner circles of the game.

The book includes a bonus CD-ROM.


Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great for Resources included- otherwise mostly elementary.   July 21, 2005
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book would be great for a 9th or 10th grader and their parents thinking about getting serious about the game. I liked the fact that there is alot of contact information for the different tours, angencies, teachers, etc. Having all of that information in one place is really helpful. The book never talked about something very important to me and to most golf lovers who were not born into privelage: How can you make it in this sport if you are 29 yrs old without money, but a ton of raw talent and passion for the game? I'm not sure there's much hope, honestly. The book talks matter of factly like this is like any other profession you might choose. Again, great for a promising high schooler with some financial backing, not good for a husband and father pushing 30 and running his own fledgling business.


5 out of 5 stars wealth of info   October 11, 2003
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I am a player, not exactly a booknut, but I really liked this book. Lots of good info., some really interesting "insider" kind of stories. I think a lot of golfers would find this to be a good read and golf coaches ought to put this book in the hands of all their young players. Real practical stuff.


5 out of 5 stars Caddy no more!   July 25, 2003

This book is incredible! It is an amazing strategy for success and has really improved the way I look at the game as a whole. You can spend your whole life hanging around clubhouses and never gather this kind of valuable information. I highly recommend it to anyone who is even considering a career in professional golf.
