I posted this idea/question in the "pros leaving sponsors thread," ur take would be interesting. It sounds like prodigy basically courted as many as, what, 30 top pros. And they're all getting $10k base from prodigy.

It seems from my lowly point of view, that aside frOm the majors, it's been more financially viable for top pros to mostly play regionally, close to home, even b tiers, most weekends, where they know they'd be one of only a couple/few elites competing.

If all these top level guys and gals are making some base salary, have a vested interest in the company, and are being concentrated geographically, will they all start showing up at the same tourney week in week out? Could THIS be the "growing the sport/creating a 'legit' pro tour" thinking?

So, correction, the "base salary" thing is just the latest "venom" circulating. I thought another poster had verified, but it's just speculation at this point...of course if they made you "the offer" you already know this.

All these players show up to the same events anyways, I don't see that as growing the sport.

You're quite the insightful young man. You have a new fan.

What's the farthest distance on a hole that you'll choose to drive with a putter, if you ever drive with a putter? If you do, what kind of holes do you choose a putter off the tee over a mid/driver?

This has been a heated topic on here before.

I too would like to hear a pro's opinion on this.

For me if there are small trees in the way and I need something to go straight and fall straight ill throw a putt with no wind or tailwind up to 300 then its pushing it
