About 15 years ago I used to see a pro English golfer for a few months ( in civvie life ) Dont get me wrong he was no Tiger woods but he was breaking the top 30 in the UK at the time. He toured on the European circuit for a few years but you would only know his name if you were a diehard fan. I would never tell.
Anyway, what I !earned about golf in that time, is yes its an expensive sport but also they love to travel. Even golfers who are not pro will travel the country, Europe or the world with their mates trying out new courses. Plenty of hotel rooms being booked away from the wife for a few days.
However whether men are pro sportsman, rich, powerful, business leaders or whatever. Sometimes that sense of money, power and celebrity is not a good combination. They can think they are untouchable!
