How to Get an Autograph from a Professional Golfer

Golfing is big business, and a golfer's signature is no less a part of this business. Because of this, it is difficult to simply walk up to a pro and get his signature. There are many reasons for this: they are difficult to personally contact, sometimes they are contractually obligated not to sign autographs and sometimes they are just too exhausted. But with a little persistence and a quick wit, you can get the autograph you desire.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Attend practice rounds. During practice many golfer's are loose and approachable, because the stress of the tournament has not begun. In addition, the crowds are smaller, which gives you better odds.
2. Seek an autograph at a Pro-Am tournament. These tournaments can be good opportunities. Since these are generally held for charities, pro golfers tend to be less busy with normal tournament worries and may have more time for a quick signature.
3. Spend extra money by attending a special autograph event. Many tournaments stage special public relations events specifically for signings. Not every tournament offers this opportunity and not every golfer attends, however. Another thing to keep in mind is that not all events cost money, but it is a possibility. Be prepared.
4. Go to your local golf course and ask the club pro for help. Chances are, since he is a professional, he knows other professionals. A generous golf pro may be willing to help you in your search for an autograph by giving you helpful contact information.
5. Find a reputable autograph brokers in your area, if you feel your chances of a face-to-face meeting will not happen. There are several companies that deal exclusively with golfing memorabilia and autographs. Be certain your purchase is legitimate, as there are several scam companies as well.
