Golf enthusiasts across the world are in a sort of bubble, in the way that (most) only see what the media want them too. They show the success of young golfers, the journey man who finds his feet and the well-established player who is coming toward the day he hangs up his putter and call it a day.
However, some players come in and go straight back out due to their lack of success. the media portrays the feeling of once you work and get to the place you want to be you will succed but this is not the case.
I today, am focussing on the trials and tribulations of the Pga Tour Rookie.
The season begins in early January for the newly established pga tour player,
who will get his first fully earned card on the first tee at the Sony Open in Hawaii. If he has not prepared a solid strategary in which to follow to ensure his placement in next years tour,
he is destined to fail. But the ones who do will be rich among their wildest dreams.
Rookies like:
Jonas Blixt and John Huh who have both tasted the sweet taste of victory this year.
Jonas Blixt just recently winning the Frys.com taking home a whopping $900.000.000 with that win.
Huh won the Mayakoba Golf Classic with a cheque worth $666.000.000 four Rookies have won a tournament this year but some were on the other side of the result.
Edward Loar: A player who has had 23 starts in 2012 with one top 25, 7 cuts made and one round leading score in the Mylan Classic. He has won $97,000 this year which leaves him in 207 position on the money list leaving him in a one way ticket to Q school. But why did he not fufil his potential like Huh and Blixt ? Can their be a reason ?
Well lets see, Loar turned Pro in 2000 so has plenty of experience but Huh and Blixt turned in 208 so are relatively new. Its all about self belief that comes with youth and I hope he regains it soon as final Q school stage is approching.

Ireland V Greece Review
15/112012
Ireland V Greece review
Jose Holebas ensured the Republic of Ireland ended 2012 without the victory they craved as Giovanni Trapattoni's youngsters were undone 1-0 by Greece at Aviva Stadium.
The Irish manager tested out an experimental side that started with James Mc Carthy, James Mc Clean and Robbie Brady and included Wes Hoolhan at the break. The team showed intent from the off-set but lacked the conviction inside the box. This was clear when Simon Cox of Nottingham Forrest had a clear chance to score when Seamus Coleman who played well down the Right wing with Robbie Brady.
We troubled the Greece defense with McCarthy in the middle and McClean + Brady on the wings.It was apperent when Cox and Long seemed very up for the challange of beating the Greek defense with their quick movements into the open sapces being layed by McCarthy who seemed to find alot of space in the middle of the field when Whelan was playing a more defensive role.
Then, with Greece's first chance after they had a good piece of possesion Samaras controlled the ball just outside the area passed it sideways to Holebas whos sweet 29th-minute strike was enough to seal the victory for the side that was clearly in the Friendly frame of mind. The Greeks offered little while we were passing fluidly but casually pushed their way into the game when Ninis took a 25 yard shot on the 23rd minute that forced a diving save by Irish call up Forde who got the nod on a late call by Westwood to sit out due to a groin niggle he picked just a training before.
Clarke who accomponied captain John O' Shea at the back played very well throughout the night,
He seemed very comfortable on the ball and got his head on the ball from numerous crosses that could have been a huge threat to the Irish goal. Wes Hoolahan made a decent impact coming on at half time however he picked up the ball to deep and struggled to go forward with good possession and fluditity.
The 1-0 lose has dimmed the comeback of the irish camp after the hammering of the Germans last month. We look forward to the Sweedish world cup qualifier game which will prove a good showing as it will compare the two teams and their respective systems.
We will improve and come together and move on, onwards and upwards.
