Question
Hi.  Can you tell me if a fellow is a PGA touring Pro, does this person get free rounds of golf at any Golf course he plays.  Is it a one time round or unlimited?  Thanks

Answer
Dear Chris, thanks for the question.  There is nothing written that officially calls for a PGA Touring Professional to play for free at any course...HOWEVER, most golf courses would be delighted to extend that courtesy.  I can't imagine a situation where a Pro showed up at a course and was charged green fees.  Most courses have a PGA Club Professional who would very likely extend the offer to any PGA Professional, whether they were a Touring Pro or a Club Pro.  As for the number of visits, I would think as long as they weren't be taken advantage of, a course would extend the offer as often as the visiting Pro liked.

Good luck and remember...
Love the game,
skipper
