I seem to remember many moons ago a young, confident player announcing to the world that she would be moving on from the amateur golf scene to hone her golf skills on the women's professional tour (LPGA). This was followed by a bold statement of something like, “And I’ll be flying my private jet soon.”
Hey, I’m all about dreaming big and reaching for the stars and all that, but there has to be a reality check in there somewhere. For example, at the time of this statement the LPGA Tour money leader was Annika Sorenstam, she earned $1.237 million that year. The player I’m alluding to took three years to break into the top 50 on the LPGA Tour – this might have bought a wheel for her jet or a couple of months of fuel. Just saying…
