Peter Uihlein turns Pro and is going down the European route!

But europe is way more diverse than the states. Architecturally, culturally, linguistically, historically, (climate, food, language, drink, you name it), it is different.

You can travel 1000 miles in the states, and nothing has really changed.

Why bother?

I'll give you the language,history and culture, but it's unfair to say that nothing changes in 1000 miles in
America.I'm fortunate that owing my own travel company I've been all over America and the thing that hides the differences in states there is they all speak English, whereas in Europe there is the different languages that highlight the different countries.

Visit LA then go to New Orleans.Or Vermont then Vegas.NYC onto Key West.It's a land of contrasts, it's about how you want to perceive it.

It's a shame less Americans decide to travel outwith their borders, but I can see why they don't.

So we have London, Venice, Paris, Bruges, Rome, all within about a two hour flight. I know which I would rather visit, and which I would expect to be more diverse.

Ok, I have only been to new York, Boston, and Florida in the states, but to me, the restaurants were the same, the food was the same (unsurprisingly), the shops were the same, not impressed. K, there was a difference in the city centre buildings, but 200 years of history doesn't make up for 2000.

Depends where you look and what you expect, I suppose.The food you can eat in NYC or Boston is more diverse than any of the European cities (apart from London) you mention.America is called a melting pot for a good reason.

I agree that it's a shame American's don't travel internationally more, but I can see the other side of the arguement.

The worst Indian I have ever had was in manhattan. Dreadful.

Considering America is the size of Europe I can see why Americans do tend to stay in their own country.And take into consideration the different climates/social makeups in America, it's understandable, to a degree.I bet there are plenty on here who have never left Europe.

I'm sure she said nice things about you

Peter Uihlein to begin pro career in Europe

Peter Uihlein has said that he is to begin his pro career concentrating on the European Tour and even the Challenge Tour. He's also signed up with Chubby Chandler. Uihlein said,

"There has been a great list of players who cut their teeth in Europe,” Uihlein said, mentioning Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy and [Charles] Schwartzel. “They all started in Europe and gained great experience by playing different courses. It’s a new challenge.”

Surely it's a sign of the times when one of the top American prospects thinks that Europe will make him a better player than the US would. It'll be interesting to see how many other players follow suit.
