Not too long ago Matt Wallace, the British golfer who charged up the ranks this year with three wins on the European Tour, was considering quitting the game for a regular job.
“I started to send off emails to management companies,” said Wallace, 28, who is playing the Turkish Airlines Open this week. “I decided I would use my love for sport and go down that route. I never got one reply.”
One of those emails went to the former pro and current golf agent Andrew Chandler at International Sports Management who, like all the others, never responded to Wallace’s job pitch.
