The End Of The Golf Amateur II

Hello. How would pro golf at all levels work?
Same as pro golf at the elite levels. There would be Q-schools to get your card to play at a higher tour. You'd have endorsement deals from golf equipment companies. You could get sponsors such as travel and hotel companies to assist you with your expenses.
So would you need a "card" to play in the US Amateur? Nope. You'd just have to be someone who didn't have a PGA or European Tour card. You could be a mini-tour player, or a regular amateur.
Would this make the US Amateur title a bit of a stretch then if pros were playing in it? I don't think so. The Olympics didn't use to have pros playing in it, but does now.
Would traditionalists be rolling in their graves? Absolutely. Then again, they probably were doing that when metal woods, graphite shafts and short socks came into play. Change is inevitable, especially in sports. Because of the travel and time it takes to be a top golfer these days, something has to be done. Otherwise, there will be more Richard Lees, Michelle Wies and Tadd Fugikawas turning pro as teenagers, and automatically getting 7 figures. Who wouldn't if they had that kind of talent?
