Bobby Jones was an amateur, and he kicked every Pro golfers azz. And the reason he was able to do that was because he was an uber competitor and practiced his craft. He also had a fair amount of talent.
I see a direct correlation between Bobby Jones success and that of, oh, let's see, perhaps Dan Fletcher, David Rampy, Jody Lang, Jimmy DeFrank, Bob Glidden, and a host of others. Glidden was pretty successful before he became a Pro. As was Lee Shepherd.
Of course, you could always become a pro, and the wins would just automatically come your way. Week, after week, after week.
