I actually just saw your first mini tour golf cost video a few days ago and was thinking about subscribing. Today I subbed and you dropped a great video. Keep dropping videos. I love them
+Dylan Patel thanks Dylan! Glad you’ve subbed and joined the journey 👊🏽
This video is exactly what we want to see. The behind the scenes we would ordinarily never get a chance to understand. You have a new follower. Great luck in pursuing your dream!
+David Villicana thanks so much David! Plenty more to come👊🏽
Thanks for sharing Part 2 Mini Tour Costs. Very insightful. I’ve read Excellence is not a skill, it’s an attitude. Your very inspirational. Keep up the great positive attitude and looking forward to following your mini-tour journey.
+Les Craft thanks so much Les! I’ll check that book out 👊🏽
Great perspectives... Thanks and good luck! I would love to see a video on what you do to improve your game, IE. drills, swing thoughts, ect.
+Dennis McGraw thanks Dennis! Over my off season, I’m actually going to roll out some videos on exactly those topics 👊🏽
Keep up the hard work. I’m glad I found your channel. I like the content maybe a few more on course shots of you playing would be awesome. I’m sure you will do better next year with the practice over the winter. Keep it up! It’s great to see where you were and where you are going. Can’t wait to see you on the Euro Tour or PGA tour!
+Logan Kelch thanks so much Logan, as you found the channel! And yeah, I’ll be able to roll out more on course footage this off season 👊🏼
Great insight on how's life on mini tour, great video! Wish you the best for the future
+Pierre Barbieri thanks so much Pierre!👊🏽
Thanks for doing this. The truth is eye-opening.
Just found the channel. It’s fantastic, keep it up man
+Garrett Steward thanks so much Garrett, glad you found it 👊🏼
Blowing up! Congrats !
+Rabbe Vanneste thanks man, yeah it’s been a wild few days haha
Came across your channel via golfholics. After watching the first video(no particular order) I was hooked and subscribed 2 days ago. Really enjoying the content, though it’s in the past.
Positive attitude goes a long way.
Sounds like your girlfriend/wifey is very supportive. 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for joining the gang Dwayne! Happy to hear you’re digging the videos 👊🏼
All the way from the UK-Keep grinding, I so hope you get your dream.
+Mark Bennett thanks Mark. I’ll keep chasing 👊🏽
Keep up the good work mate. The big break is around the corner. No wonder your a public speaker I was hooked at part one lol
Thanks so much 👊🏼
The reality is your honesty makes it all worthy.
+John Lim thank you so much John
That would be awesome if you could go to one of the tour schools. Keep grinding and keep trying to grow this channel man. I know you'll make it.
Don't stop believing!!
This truly is eye opening, and although you may not be able to continue much more this season, you’re helping inspire me to pursue my dreams. I’ll be playing my first tournament in 5-6 years in a month or so, and I’m super excited to get back into the swing of competition again. I’ll let you know how it goes!
Awesome to hear man, good luck!
Awesome dude. Never give up. Even if you start a couple decades later in my case. 4 year battle plan to sneak in the door on Super Sr Series and Sr Tour and/or Monday qualifiers. @andrew these vids are clutch. always others out there willing to back a thoroughbred horse that is ready to grind and be relentless. Ever mini tour player has a unique story. Most have college experience but then their is the outliers 😎
I still remember my Mon qualifier at Gwen Ellyn for Western in Chicago couple decades ago like it was yesterday. Nerves, 🤢 in throat with starter announcing name on 1st tee. There’s only one way to success and that is thru the nervous and hands tingling all round reps in the qualifiers and these mini tour events and DTFW
Thanks for the insight. You see the pga golfers every weekend and don’t think about what it takes to get there. I had my eyes opened about Major League Baseball when I went to spring training. Five fields for a team watched the lowest level team and they were good. Wow these are the lowest players and to make it to the show they have to be better than three players on each the other fields. I’m amazed at your talent keep having fun with golf enjoy your videos.
Hey mr Jensen I like your videos a lot. I want to be a professional on the PGA TOUR and your channel is showing me an example of what it takes and one of the routes chosen by pros to get on tour. Do you ever come to Michigan I'd love to play with you sometime! I've been waiting for someone to have a channel like this for a while.
+Ahmad Reedus thanks Ahmad!
Wow. Thanks for posting this. This game is hard. You get good and it gets harder.
Good good luck. Believe in yourself
+Paul O'connor thanks so much Paul!
Your videos are awesome! Keep up the hard work and success will come. Also, pick up The Unstoppable Golfer by Dr. Bob Rotella. It'll really help your short game and your mental game. Good luck to you!
Thanks Connor, I'll check that book out for sure!
If I were you, I'd definitely focus on Q-school and put my expenses there. I totally understand you want to play events but if you have to choose I'd pick the Q-school and hope for the game to be in shape there!
Another thing I would look into is doing something totally different. You have probably done what you're doing for many years and you're putting your faith into that "something magical" will happen and you suddenly get the results you know you can. This is one strategy and it might happend but I was in the same situation many years ago (I'm not american but I did focus on a career as a golfer) and the thing I regret the most about those years was that I didn't think outside the box enough. I can't really give you hints where to look, we are all different, but I have a feeling you know what that means to you, looking outside the box.
Best of luck,
Viking Sweden
+Viking Alle Wåhlin Thanks Viking... this channel is my start to thinking outside the box a little. We’ll shake things up for 2018!
Very good insight. And very well done! It's the colosseum at golf these days. It's an unfair field on the main tour as the big boys are staying in 5 star hotels with little of the pressure put on the rookie to stay in the field. Your enthusiasm is great. Remember all sport is a very fickle business and and fortune is always nearby. To practise and then trust the unconscious mind is probaly the secret to success. Best of luck!
Thank you!! Glad you’re digging it 👊🏼
Everyone thinks golf isn’t hard on your body. You should make a video about your injury’s over the years.
+Dylon Knudson love that idea!
Thank you for doing this video! I do have one thing to say about your "expenses" I'm not sure you can add food into your golf expenses. Because you have to eat anyway whether you are playing golf or not. That being said you probably came close to breaking even if not made a little bit! Keep it up!
Just for fun, I totaled up my winnings as I play amateur events with some cash and gift card winnings and playing seven tournaments from May to Sept. I live in NYC and played tournaments in the area and in Wisconsin. I made $720 and spent roughly 3k on flights, hotels, gas and food. So, if it's any consolation you did better than me!
+Jim Wittmann haha touché... at least you have a steady paycheck with work though 😜
I think creating and expanding a youtube channel can do wonders for sponsorships, best of luck! Reaching out to the bigger youtube golf channels for collabs could really help with growing subscribers and people will gladly pay for you to sport your logo when your subs go up! Awesome growth, love the channel and can't wait to see where it goes!
+Sameer Anand great thinking Sameer 👊🏼
Interesting video. Keep your career going. You'll make it.
Thanks Dicky
What should my average score be around in order to start considering joining/participating in mini tours. There after moving onto the bigger tournament and progressing to more professional tournaments?
That's right! Every serious golfer wants to be on the PGA Tour making bank. I'm just an intermediate amateur but I'm always thinking about the dream of the PGA Tour. I want to sign up for events at my local mini tour to get some experience in the competitive environment.
Good luck Paul!
Really interesting insight. I talked to some guys on the ProGolf Tour (which is a mini tour based in Germany and thereabouts) and their numbers where quite similar. Basically they all worked during the off-season to keep themselves afloat for the next season. What about cost for tuition and equipment? Was that included in your expenses?
+MissyLaMotte I have a few friends over there that played that tour! No equipment costs thankfully, I’m taken care of by Taylor Made
Good luck w your mini tour Journey my man. I was in that situation as well 2 years ago.. still playing golf but quit playing mini tour...
+Heekyu Kim thanks for the support👊🏽. It’s a grind, but I love it
3 questions:
what are the average mini tour course lengths?
what are average scores to make minimum payout?
what are average scores to win?
thanks
If you're ever in the Collingwood/Wasaga Beach area I'd love to get the chance to play a round!
2018, it could be in the cards!
Good luck to you, and keep on practice the short game 👍
+Marco Martinez thanks Marco👍🏼
I was checking your club fitting video, you said you were a club fitter? Why do you have a problem with the putter?, if you know all the basic of fitting you could fit yourself, grab an old putter and make it to work by adjusting lof, lie Weight of the head, even some weight on the shaft to make it more stable, if you are a good at reading greens all you need is something stable to hit the line. I had the same problem with my putter, missing left and right by a bit, I change the shaft, change grip, and weight on the shaft and now I make more putts 👍
+Marco Martinez I’m a great putter, that’s not the issue. I just struggled with speed and my chipping/pitching from course to course. It put a lot of pressure on the 7/8 footers. All my ‘putting woes’ were basically a couple a round, and that makes all the difference over a Summer. The putter itself is just fine. Sure I tried a new one for a new look, but it was more the frustration and confidence that it affected, not the technique
Well , then you know what your problem is work on it 👍
So good
+Javier Calles Roman thanks brother 👊🏽
Hey Andrew..Any tips on how to stop fading the driver wildly off the tee?
+MrFahrenhorst ummm, hard to just diagnose on the fly, but maybe try gripping it lighter and letting go of the tension in the shoulders & forearms. Hold your follow through too... really make sure you get up on that left side!
Wow!
Great video, I have been playing for around 2 years, I'm down to 6. What advice do you have for getting down to around 3 next season?
+Ellis Prodromou Thanks Ellis! Avoid the big numbers, those are the killers. Turning doubles/triples into smart bogeys will get you down. You make a mistake, take your medicine. Make bogey. A birdie makes up for the mistake, it takes more to make up for a double/triple
Cheers Andrew will take that on board.
Also you could do lessons for money if you need it I know you would be a great coach
It's a big eye opener. But you can never stop believing!!
+Charlie Burgess never!! Thanks for the push Charlie👊🏼
When do/will you need a caddie? And how much are they, for someone like yourself?
+ThePhanin caddies are only needed on PGA Tour Canada and higher. The costs for that varies depending on the Tour, but you can modestly say it starts at 50$/day on PGA Tour Canada for a volunteer caddie
Thanks.
Do you work at golftown now?
Hey mate, do you include lessons into your expenses? If so, how many lessons per week and what do they cost? Cheers great videos man
Thankfully I’ve not had to pay for lessons with my coach, so I’m saving on that expense 👌🏼
@@andrewjensengolf How Andrew
Doesn't your coach charge you?
Building the channel brings rewards just look are peter finch, rich shiels this could help in the off season
The only trouble is that TH-cam is, as far as I can tell, their full time jobs 365 days per year or very close to it. Between shooting, editing, uploading, responding to comments, doing collaborations, media appearances, etc. their golf career = TH-cam. You can't be a competitive golfer and a TH-camr.
What advice to you have for a 17 year old golfer who is trying to get scores up from high 80's for the high school season
+Big Win Sports if you make a mistake (ball in trees, water, missed green on short side etc...). Be smart with the next shot. Compounding mistakes is hard on the scorecard. Make one mistake, accept it, then recover. Turning a 7 to a 6 or a 6 to a 5, a few times a round, does wonders for the score and the attitude/confidence. Best of luck!
Andrew Jensen thanks man. I appreciate the response. Trust the process and keep grinding the mini tours!!
+Big Win Sports thanks big cat!
I
If you ever need a caddie near New York metro area would be happy to do it for free.
Thanks Matt 👊🏼
who runs these tours? is there a set organization? Thanks
They’re all independently ran tours, no over arching organization. Just takes a lot of googling to find them!
ok...thats what i was thinking. Love the channel!!
I live in Toronto and I want to be a pro golfer. I think I can do it for cheaper. I make money driving Uber. It felt like you was talking to me directly.
Good luck Daryl!
Do sponsor vids on youtube:))))
Do you write letters seeking sponsorship exemptions?
I have in the past, and to much success. Don’t think I will this year though
@@andrewjensengolf have you covered this in previous videos by chance? would enjoy learning more about all it entails.
Can anyone just register for these mini tour tournaments? or is there a requirement to get into them?
Just sign up and pay. Anyone can play
What kind of sponsorships are there for people on mini tours
+Spencer Young I’m uploading a vlog today that covers that topic 👊🏽
How much is Q School?
Web is 4500$ entry fee.
Check out the video I did in 2018 where I break down those expenses more
What handicap did you have at 15?
+Javier Calles Roman I don’t remember exactly, maybe 3/4ish
Any help with typing a sponsorship proposal?
+Dunbar Solo I never had to do one of those, so unfortunately it’s something I couldn’t give much direction on. Sorry mate.
I think spending nearly $17,000 is ridiculous, if i was you id cut down on the amount of tournament to play and focus on like a web.com Q-school. and have you ever thought about being a coach, that could bring in some cash
You don't even make expenses. It is better to loop at Pebble Beach and make $80k per year.
That’s really not as bad as I though it was
+xZyvox yeah, it’s manageable, but still not amazing!
You spent more than I make working in a year
well, at least you don't have to sleep in your car or have to resort to Timmie's (thought it would be ironic if they became a sponsor)
Sorry man just keep grinding
Do u feel that you struggle with the mental side of the game because of the self destructive thoughts u battle every day?
+Cameron Cunningham maybe sometimes the two worlds mix, but I’ve learned how to manage it all better and embrace the ‘struggle’ and turn my mental game into a strength now
Why do you include food as a cost? Your going to have to eat either way.
+Aaron Victor food isn’t free, so it’s added into any budget...
Positive attitude goes a long way, but it doesn't pay the rent. Maybe you could make a living as a driving range pro - like Peter Finch & Rick Shiels. They make a living teaching & their blogs are watched. They might be a good role model for you. That said, keep trying until the end of the 2020 season. If you aren't on the PGA by then, it time for a reality check. It's delusional to have an "attitude" that's not based on reality.
