Don't let other people tell you that you can't do something. Prove them wrong, from what i see, you have great potential. The best thing for you to do is set goals for yourself, break the eighteen holes down into six individual tournaments. This is what i find helps me score low. Tell yourself you want to be even on the first three, one under on the next, one over on the next, and even the rest of the way. Concentrate on making every fairway, reading putts, and making the shot happen. You shouldn't try to make a good score, you should try to make good shots and make some putts. Those two idiots don't even know what they are talking about, they're just drunken idiots who shoot in the 90s on weekend while hacking up the course. You have the potential to be great. Work on the little things; touch around the green and from the sand. Hire a teacher and learn as much as you can, focus on your goal and you will achieve it. It is not going to be easy, you're going to need to work, practice in the off-season and hit the ground running in April. In fact, my cousin is a golf pro, and 17 is about when he started getting real good. He is the classic example of never giving up. He is undersized and doesn't hit the ball very far, but he is a great shortgame player and he did this through hard. Put the effort into it and achieve the results. Good luck!

That question can not be answered yet. But for now you have a long way to go. First of all you would have listed your handicap not what you shoot for 9 holes!!!!! Pro golfers shoot par and there a lot of them. (That is 36 on the average for nine holes.) The ones who win must be able to shoot under par many times to be competitive.
Can you have an average of 1.7 putts per hole for 18 holes like a pro?

I just heard this the other day...odds are 1:144,000.
Anything is possible but I'll put this in perspective. I have a buddy who had a full ride scholarship to Div 1. Scratch golfer and was runner up in the state amateur. He moved to Florida after graduating college and practiced 8 hours per day for 3 years and played the mini tours (Hooters and a few Nationwide events). He got in the money twice ($2200 and $3100) for finishing in the top 10.
I can assure you that the competition is UNBELIEVABLE.

You can become a pro golfer...anyone can. Just win a remote tournament to qualify for the US Open...then win the US Open... The winner gets a tour card.

If you want it bad enough then yes. You will have to get a lot better. Pro courses are a lot tougher.

by pro, do you mean on the tour, or a pro that gives lessons? Either way, yeah, you have a good chance.
