Had a professional golfer across the street from me when I was a kid. At 7 or 8, he had a golf club in his hand every day. Always gone to a golf course, or putting in the back yard, or driving in the side yard (corner lot) or down at the baseball diamond not so far away.
Played on the high school golf team, and then college.
Lost track of him, but would often see him way down the list in golf tournaments.
Was or still is a golf pro at a country club last I heard (a real country club).

Yeah, most real pros knew what they wanted to do very early. I did; not golf.
