What are the chances of playing mini tour golf if you are a mid 20s handicap at 13 years old.?

Answer 1

At 13 anything is possible. 20 handicap is not bad at all. You need to improve and play in high school and college.
Your first goal should be a make the high school team. Then be competitive and win. Get a scholarship, and get educated. At this point your golf career is very successful.

To be a pro takes a different level of dedication, not to mention skill.

Zack Johnson started playing when he was 10. He was not the best player in his high school or the best player in college, Drake U. He is a massive 5’ 11’ 160.
He has earned almost 11 million in prize money on the PGA and Nationwide tour.

KJ Choi started playing at age 16. He has earned over 16 million on the PGA tour.

The PGA and Senior Tour is littered with golfers who took the game up later in life, or who played casually, while working.

If your goal is to play professionally set intermediate goals.

Anyone that says playing professionally is impossible is wrong.
Anyone who says you can't be good enough is wrong.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

I knew I'd hear many answers telling you about 13 year olds who shoot in the 70's all the time. Well wrap your head around this.

I played golf from 8 until 18 and NEVER broke 80. I joined the U.S.Navy and didn't play for 8 months. I went out and rented a set of clubs at a course near base and shot 75. Since that day, my handicap has never been higher than 9. Yes a 9 handicap while only playing 4 to 5 times per year and no driving range practice in between.

Anything can happen in this game, that's why it's the greatest game of all time. Keep swinging.

Answer 3

Golf is a very tough game , you should aim at bringing your handicap as low as possible in the single figures, below 5 will be great, than it gets harder , because there are so many other players who are trying to get to where you want to go. Get yourself a great coach who can help you , also mentally play tournaments and with dedication and hard work you could have a chance as you get older. Try to be screach or better by the time you are 20 years old, and who knows.
Good luck buddy.

Answer 5

very low. I am 11, I have a 13 handicap, I can drive 240 regularly and I can make 25 foot puts easily but I am nowhere near playing on any tour.

Answer 6

You can't even consider mini tours until you get down to about a two handicap.

Answer 7

You have as much of a chance as any. You have to work at it and it isn't cheap believe me. There is a lady on the LPGA tour that took up golf and became a scratch player in 6 months. It is dependent on how much work you put into it.

Answer 8

im 14, and have a 5 handicap and where i live i can't even come close to a mini tour!

Answer 9

Larry Nelson didn't play till he was 21 and he won a US Open and a PGA. Never put a limit on what you can accomplish or have someone tell you what you can or cannot do, its a tough road but it all depends how bad you want it. Good luck

Answer 10

forget it. I'm 13, drive 210, can sink a 40 yd. putt, and look, i'm not on any tour. Dont get discouraged though, it may happen, im trying out for the Junior tour in May, and we'll see where i end up with that. Keep playing, only way to get better.
