You have not started late at all. My best advice for your success is to practice, practice, and practice. Also, make sure you surround yourself with players who are better than yourself, as it will make you step up your game whenever you play. Also, you need to play in as many pressure situations as possible. Golf is a lot easier when there is not pressure on you, so play in all the local junior tournaments. Even if you don't win at first, don't be discouraged, because whether you know it or not, you are gaining valuable experience. Good luck!

Larry Nelson Biography:
He went to war, and when he came home, he found peace on the golf course. Well, actually, he found a great living - but that's the story of Larry Nelson's unusual path to golf.
Nelson was a baseball player as a youth. He didn't even pick up golf until he was 21, after returning home from service in the Vietnam War. He started working at Pine Tree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga., and teaching himself golf by reading Ben Hogan's "Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf."
Nelson broke 100 the very first time he played a round of golf, and within nine months he had broken 70. The Pine Tree CC members began encouraging him to try one of golf's mini-tours.
Just a couple years later, in 1973, Nelson made it through Q-School on his first attempt and was on the PGA Tour at age 27.

Tons of room left for women golfers. If you were a boy you would be waisting your time. Be sure to get into college and get the playing experience. Alot of womens college golf scholarships available. The average score on the Hawaii womens golf team last year was 82. Keep swinging!

It is never too late to become a pro. The older you get, the more experience you get, so just practice hard and always remember course management

Absolutely not! I'm a PGA professional and didn't decide to do so until I was 28. But you have to decide which end you want to get in...playing or being a club pro. You can rarely do both...they each demand ALOT of your time, so there is no time to do the other.

No. It's the perfect age because you are old enough to understand the game. Good luck with being a pro!

The finest lady golfer perhaps the world ever saw was Babe Zaharias. She didn't play until her twenties.
There are many examples of players who started intheir teens and later. It is all about determination and talent level. Keep plugging away and who knows.
