slacksaw Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I would love to play in a pro-am for fun and the experience of a lifetime but how does someone like myself mid handicapper player, who doesnt have thousands of dollars to throw around and pay to play, or work for huge company that is a sponsor of such events, gets an opportunity to be in a pro-am event.

cnosil Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Honestly, I think the answer is simply you dont get that opportunity.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Unfortunately it’s about who you know or how much money you have. BUT There are country clubs that put on Pro-Ams to raise money for a charity or even the club itself. Those are usually much cheaper to play in than the Big Ones. Usually the Pro’s are club Pro’s from around the area. My last country club does one every year and it’s only a couple hundred bucks. I was just invited to a medium sized one in South Carolina while on my business trip and the entry is just north of $1000. If my company is willing to sponsor me I would go. But I’m not one to shell out a grand to play one round of golf with no one I know except for maybe one or two people. cnosil, TJ Hall, Josh Parker and 1 other 3 1 Quote Driver, TSi 1 S Flex 3 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 7 Wood, Aerojet Max UST Helium Nanocore R Flex 5 Hybrid King Tec MMT R Flex Irons, Tour UST Recoil 95 R Flex (6 - Gap) Wedges, Snakebite KBS Hi- Rev2.0 54* & 60* Agera 35" Ultralight 14-way Cart Bag Link to comment
Shapotomous Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I am assuming you mean a tour pro am. You need an "in" to get picked and then come up with the thousands of $$$ through a company sponsor or your own bank acct or you dont get to play. cnosil and Josh Parker 2 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!
