guys who put up their own purse
It seems that these "nits" that aren't good enough to play the tour can shoot par.
Check out any of the dozens of mini-tours. They are putting up more than the purse in entry fees. They are trying to put food on the table. They don't work deals with other players. It's not an acceptable practice.
I'm not passing judgement on tournament players that do what is considered an acceptable practice. I'm saying it SHOULD NOT be an acceptable practice.
And I'm also saying you don't know squat about how good the players on the PGA Tour are.
