Cmays, $1000.00 a day sounds like a good deal to a pro, but out of my range unfortunately (a bit like my driving). I have a friend also who has not missed to many meals, and he can hit a monstrously long way, but still well short of your driving range. It would be impressive to see you in action.
Also, Indi -Jones, I understand that reaching the next level is important to a golfer of your quality, but exactly where is it in your game that costs you your handicap. If it is driving 30 - 40yds less than others then I would say this is worth pursuing. However, if it is like most of us, putting / short game, then this is the area that needs the required attention to detail. Good luck in your quest !
Cheers.
Lee.
