ballgolfconvert made a post that he would gladly pay $100 to play a pro-am with a chance to draw Macbeth or similar as a partner for the round. This is not my thing, but got me thinking. Perhaps there are many that would love the chance. Here is a poll and please feel free to tell us why you would or would not and whom you would pick to play with.
Just as background, the PGA Tour does this before every event and for much more money than I am talking and very successfully. I am also not referencing pro-am tourneys where the pros play separately from the amateurs. Pros would be on a card with 4 amateurs, playing best ball (low score not scramble) format. Ams would also play at their preferred tee pads, giving them a chance to be a factor on the team .Lets say each am puts up only $50. that is $200 per card that can be used to pay pros appearance fees, provide a pro-am purse, and add a bit to the pro payouts in the actual tourney.
i would jump at a chance to do this.
