Je commence à peine( ayant été vraiment au sein de 3 Tournois cette année et ayant pu parler avec les caddies britons et argentins de grands joueurs) à comprendre ce qu'il faut pour être un grand du Tour et à 2 ou 3 exceptions près, ça ne se fait pas en un jour.
là j'en suis convaincu
voilà un extrait de la meilleure analyse que j'ai jamais lue sur la difficulté à devenir professionel
No. 1 - GOLF must be your life's "passion"......specifically tournament
golf.......if it's not then don't bother trying as you won't make
it......the "willingness to SACRIFICE" WAAAAY above and beyind the norm
is the most important attribute a golfer can have if they want to
EXCELL......(that way with everything else too).......however, if you
are DETERMINED to make your life professional golf then here's some sound advice....(since you asked for it...hehe)
MOST
people will tell you your "wasting your time"......"wasting your
life"......"will never make it".....etc. etc. etc......You'd better
have VERY thick skin and the ability to ignore "criticism"......cause
your gonna' get it......the thing is, MOST of the folk's criticizing
you never had the gut's to stick their neck out and take a chance in
their life........and if they aren't criticizing you they are
criticizing somebody else.......they go through life like this......get
together with a few others with like-minded thoughts and
"criticize".....like a bunch of old widow's in a sewing
circle.......LOL.......so realize you have a "hole in BOTH sides of
your noggin' and YOU determine what goes in and bounces around and what
passes right on through"......you MUST be "tough minded"........if your
not then don't even try professional
golf.......or any other aspiration you might have that's a bit "out of
the ordinary"........I can name probably 20 or 30 guy's I played
against in my day who I thought had "no chance" or were "can't misses"
and either did or didn't "make it"........IMOP the deteriming factor
that seperated these guy's was DESIRE/PASSION/DISCIPLINE/Willingness to
SACRIFICE........and the one's that made it are/were VERY "tough
minded"....."mentally tough".......the one's that didn't.....well, ONLY
they know why they didn't.....
Your gonna' pretty much put the
"rest of your life on hold" for awhile........LOTS of
divorces/breakups....dysfunctional kid's.....relationship heartache
involved in pursuing professional
golf........so you'd better be prepared to "go it" on your own for
awhile.......IF you do find a "good un' " then she can make all the
difference in the world, but, most of em' are nothing more than a REAL
hindrence to your golfing goals and will only cause you
problems........my dad had a great saying IMOP, "ONE out of 10 will
make ya', the other 9 will ruin ya' "......and it's VERY true......and
not only in golf......
I've
been fortunate enough to work with quite a few young pro's/college
players who have the same aspiration as you say you do........and I can
tell you what ruins the chances of a LOT of them ever amounting to much
in professional golf.......besides the one's mentioned above.......they spend too much time "play acting" the "professional
golfer" when in reality they are only worried about drinking/partying
and hookin' up with the desk clerk at the Ramada.......( "NOT that
there's anything wrong with that"
).......they
are NOT TRULY dedicated to their golf game/career......they flounder
around for a few years and waste many, many thousands of their
sponsor's hard earned dollar's........NOT to say you shouldn't have
some "fun on the road"......It just CANNOT be a priority........you'll
never make it otherwise......not today with the level of
competition.......
You'd better be in GREAT physical
condition......golf isn't considered by some to be a "sport," but, I
can attest that to play 8 weeks in a row in June/July driving up to a
thousand miles between tournaments you WILL get WORN OUT if your not in
great shape.......and carry a fishing rod in your SUV so that you can
find some quite moments alone to "recharge" your brain........your body
might be able to handle the "stresses," but, I'll guarantee you that if
you think golf 24/7 for that 8 weeks you'll be F R I E D by week
4.........and you'll rarely, if ever, perform up to your abilities if
your tired and burned out.......it's REALLY hard to focus on ONE blade
of grass on a tough downhill 6' slider if your fried...
......a
"bright," "clear," "engaged" brain is VERY, VERY important to your
success on the course......in fact, a LOT more important than how your
hittin' it......a player CAN win without stripin' it IF their brain is
"engaged"....
..
I've
also been privileged (lucky) to be in the "inner circle" with 3 very,
very successful PGA Tour player's........and they ALL swung the club
VERY differently, but, had ONE thing in common........a burning desire
to be successful with their golf clubs and as a result were ALL very
organized and self disciplined........very, very self
disciplined........MUCH more than the average "Joe"........you'd better
"have your act together" or you've got no shot..........
And
last but not least.......I TRULY believe ANYBODY can be successful in
our game.......might be just winning the 3rd flight in the club
championship, but, successful......I TRULY believe that ANYONE can
learn to swing a golf club effectively.....chip/putt/think, etc. IF
they have the work ethic/desire/passion.......so "technique," while
important, isn't THE determining factor as to who makes it........I
TRULY believe that ANY kid with average to above average athletic
ability who has the above attributes can make it in professional
golf........it's NOT talent that seperates who makes it and who
doesn't.....at least IMOP......I've said this many, many
times.....several times a week....."TALENT is nothing more than a 6
letter word that starts with a T and and doesn't mean S H I
T..........TALENT is pretty far down the list in determining who makes
it and who doesn't......give me a kid with another 6 letter word,
DESIRE anyday.......DESIRE will top TALENT in most cases.......ALL
TALENT allows most kid's ta' do is screw around and beat their
buddies".........and in my experience it's VERY rare to find a kid who
has TALENT and PASSION.......rarely happens......"things" come to easy
to the "TALENTED" kid.......as a result they don't have to WORK as hard
as the other kid's.......as a result they don't develop the WORK ethic
necessary to truly EXCELL.......as a result most of em' are in the
"where are they now" file.........while guy's like Jeff Sluman/Tom
Kite/Kevin Sutherland/Billy Mayfair go on to be VERY successful
players........
So, in conclusion, you CAN "develop" the skills to potentially be a successful professional
golfer and don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't........in fact,
ELIMINATE the word "can't" from your vocabulary....."if you think you
can't you won't"......
Develop a "Teflon" exterior, the ability to blow off criticism, bad
rounds, bad tournaments......LEARN from your poor showing/round/etc.
but do NOT vacillate on them........Pat yourself on the back (quietly)
when you play well as you DESERVE a pat.........Remember that you've
got to "get up and practice even though you don't quite feel like
it........"every day you miss practicing will take you another to
become good"........Pracitce with
PASSION.......DETERMINATION.......work on fundamentally sound and
PROVEN elements in regards to your techniques........be careful with
"tips" and "UNsolicited advice"......can DESTROY your game for
awhile.....I KNOW.....it's a helluva lot harder to "get it back" than
it is to get it the first time......I KNOW about that too......
