I've heard it said that the difference between tour pro level and a scratch golfer is bigger than the difference between scratch and a 15 handicap. The old PGA Tour slogan of "These guys are good" was doing them a dis-service. They aren't good. They are unreal. Impossibly good. Gooder than good. Should have been "These guys are frickin' unbelievable" or something.

So what would a scratch golfer or +1 have to do to really make a push for the pros? Just curious about how you recognize that you are good enough to play with the big boys.
