How do I find funding to persue my golf career?

Question

I am very interested in golf. I started about 3 months ago, I play on a regular basis about 3 times a week. I am continually getting better and working with a pro to perfect my swing. I am looking to find some type of help with the funding for lessons, training, equipment, ect. I am mainly looking to pursue golf for college and possibly and hopefully further it to the Nationwide tour.

Answer 1

Prove that you have the talent by entering all amateur tournaments and winning,, be at the top of the Junior Amateur list of best players, win a few and the colleges will be offering you a place. You should have the encouragement of the high school coach and you must actually be the best. Colleges will not accept potential. They want the true competitor who wins.

Answer 2

You're 21 and you've only been playing 3 months?  Good friggin' luck!

Answer 3

You first want to get at least a year's worth of golf in. Also, if you want fundings, go to www.fundingthegolfplanet.net

this website should help you get on the right track.

Answer 4

It sounds like you are pretty young like high school. I woud suggest caddying at a course close to your home. It is one of the easiest ways for a kid to make money.

Answer 5

I suggest get a job at a golf course.  Picking up range balls, marshaling just whatever is available.  Not only will you get paid but you will play free golf and get free range balls.  Thats what I did when I was younger.

If you're looking for a sponsor you're going to have to play a lot more golf and play in some local tours to get noticed but just starting out it looks like you will have to work for it.
