How can I become a playing golf Professional?
I am 15 and have been playing seriously for 12 months. My handicap is 12 and I have recently started lessons and have a new swing – with this help I think I shall be able to get down to around 4 in the summer as I will be able to play at least 2-3 times a weeks. Basically what do I need to do so I can become a playing professional golfer? I enjoy the game and improve everytime I play. I am in the UK so there seem less opertunities to become professional so does anyone know what I should do? Thanks for all the help.
Jimbo.

You are off to a great start at a young age. Don't get to far ahead of yourself though. Focus on your handicap and enter as many amateur events as you can. If you are truly serious about becoming a pro you will need to practice daily. Focus on your short game.

good luck on dropping down to a 4 hdcp in a few monthsas far as turning pro, most pga and euro pga players played golf in college in the us.

You are getting old, just a fact, when Sergio Garcia was 13 he fired 68, if you want to play a good level, you should train all day! Hope you can make it! Good luck!

Play a lot. Win a lot and it will go by itself from there..It is as easy as that. Oh, and get an agent to do your contracts.

There are many ways, get a job at your local course as a caddie, or something, you will learn a whole lot being around the game. To be a playing ro, at least in the states, you regional, sectional and national q schools. Must play extremely well, and then finish top in nationals just to earn a few spots on the tour. Easier way is to become a club pro, play in club pro events, and if you win one, you will get an invitation to smaller tour events. Then there are minitours, a whole different ball game. First and foremost, play at your secondary school, and play for a uiversity, that will teach how to MANAGE your game. That is more important than hitting a 300 yd drive.
