Re: $$$ Money $$$

ABSOLUTELY they are making way too much money...don't even get me started on any sport and money, when teacher, military, firemen, EMT, etc..you know the backbone of our lifes are the most underpaid people in society. Pro golfers can come in dead last and make three times what the four groups I mentioned make in a year, and do it on a weekend, and these people worked at thier craft just as had as any golfer has worked. Which is one reason I admired Bobby Jones so much, for his time, he was rich, so he refused to turn pro, because he didn't want to take money from a tour pro trying to provide for his family. However having said that, I do think golfers in general give back more then any other sport to charities, which is good, but they really do need to start capping this stuff, and that apllies to all sports, because the bottom line, it's still just a GAME.
