A Quest To Play on the PGA Tour

Posted by Double Eagle in Miscellaneous

philbundyNo, it’s not me that I’m talking about.  I wanted to let you know about someone else trying to live the dream like me, but with a much loftier goal.  Stop by and say “Hi!” to Phil Bundy, who is on a quest to play on the PGA Tour.

Here’s some information from his bio:

I started playing golf at age 9, becoming a junior golfer champion and competing in tournaments across the country. After starting my high school golf team, I won the 1984 Maryland State High School Championship by 10 strokes — a record margin of victory.

At Wake Forest University, I practiced under legendary golf coach Jesse Haddock and was a member of the 1986 NCAA Championship Team that included current PGA Tour players Billy Andrade and Len Mattiace.

After college, Phil took a different path, getting an MBA and taking on a variety of challenges in the golf industry.  Now, he’s taking a new challenge on and it’s a big one.  Phil is trying to make his way to the PGA Tour, but isn’t doing it by himself.  He has assembled a team to help him along and has also gotten sponsors to support his quest.

I’m going to be keeping an eye on Phil and cheering him on.  Join me in wishing him luck.  Feel free to visit his website to follow his journey, and you can also subscribe to his RSS feed.

    That is a pretty serious team Phil has assembled AND the sponsor list is quite impressive as well.

    I was really somehow not aware of the “teams” these pros have to assemble to play on the tour. Really a mini-small business.

    Be curious to see what happens.

    Golf really is a business… I knew a guy who I respected very much for his approach. He played mini-tours events and would only enter the Q-school when and if he could cut the mustard and post the numbers and make his game PAY for his opportunity. Too many guys who “think” they can, try for the biggest stage of all, without ever seeing if they can make it on the smaller ones.

  • Recently, I found myself reading Tom Wishon’s book, “The Right Sticks“, where he topples a mountain of long-standing golf equipment myths.  It’s a great book that I’ll be reviewing shortly, but one of the myths stuck out to me.

    Wishon tackled the myth about longer drivers producing more distance.  Myth #18 (out of 37!) is: “The longer the length of a club, the farther you’ll hit the ball.“  That’s right, it’s a myth.  Well, to be fair, it’s a partial myth.  [...]
