More PGA players prefer RVs as homes on the road
CYBERSPACE — Unlike pro teams sports whose athletes travel together in transportation provided by their employers, pro golfers make their own arrangements. And, other than hoping to post low scores, travel is the biggest concern for PGA Tour players. Some players still fly commercially, others fly privately or have partial ownership in corporate jets.
Several seasons ago, Jeff Gove joined a small corps of pro golfers who prefer the comforts of home while traveling. With his wife, Heather, and the couple’s two small children, the Goves travel tournament to tournament in the family’s motorhome.
“When I was on the Nationwide Tour full-time in the late 1990s, I was driving everywhere,” says Gove. “So one day I mentioned to my wife, ‘Hey, let’s go look at a couple of these.” Gove’s wife wasn’t keen on the idea, with her only reference, according to the nomadic golfer was, “Grandma’s Mini-Winnie.” (a small Winnebago).
