www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/may/17/lucas-glover-krista-glover-arrest-pressures-professional-golfI would cry after bad rounds and wallow in self-pity, cursing at myself for the shortcomings in my game. With the added anxiety of worrying about how I would pay bills, I was always on edge. As a result, my relationships with friends, family and significant others suffered. I worried that I was letting my parents down after all the sacrifices that they made to help me reach my goal of playing on the LPGA. When they did try to help by showing me golf was literally a game, and that I shouldn’t make it more than that, I would explode. These arguments caused a chasm as it made my parents afraid to say or do anything that could cause emotional upheaval.

People criticized Lydia parents for teaming her up with great sponsors. It enabled her to just focus on golf. That means a lot to a person starting out with no financial worries. |

That means a lot to a person starting out with no financial worries. It's a Catch 22. Playing well and winning a lot of money will get you really good sponsors. It's hard to get a sponsor interested if you're just starting out and haven't performed well. Unless you're Paige Spirinac. |

Exactly, Michelle was already set for life before she even became a LPGA member. |

Being a professional athlete is a dream job and as such, the marketplace is very competitive. I wish almost anyone luck who sets off on such a quest, but when they fall short it's tough for me to muster much sympathy. Anyways, what a lousy occasion on which to publish such a essay. Expect nothing less from a British tabloid. Listen I love the British but sometimes, they are the worst.
