Mike Wolf, Mini Tour Golfer

Michael Wolf is a former college golfer and a current mini tour competitor. The journey to playing golf at the highest levels is a challenging one. I ask Mike a ton of questions related to what it takes to be a professional golfer. Topics include:

• How Mike got into golf
• How someone becomes a professional golfer
• Mike's daily schedule for life and practice
• What practice looks like
• Key terms: Mini tour events, Monday qualifiers, pro-ams
• Choosing which events to compete in
• Mike's favorite climate to play in
• How the PGA uses its money
• How Mike defines his success
• Overcoming adversity in a round
• A tournament story (or two)

We ended our time with a lightning round focusing on mini tour questions and Mike's hometown team, the Cincinnati Bengals. Does Mike think the Bengals will win a Super Bowl in the next 5 years? You'll have to listen in to find out.
