For those of you who are interested in playing in some amateur tournaments, the eGolf Amateur tour is opening up a Chicago branch. Play begins in April-2010.

Fees are $90 to join and tourney fees range from $90-$150. Some good courses on the schedule. Better pricing than Golf Channel, and play some of the same courses for $20+ less.

Definitely worth checking out.

I've been hoping that the eGolf Tour would be coming to the area, but Chicago is just a tad too far - I'm downstate.

Any chance of some downstate tourneys? If not, guess I'll have to pay more for the GC event.

I'm interested. The only course on that list I absolutely refuse to play is Big Run. My friend and I went down to play that last year, that course was such a piece of crap that I vowed never to return. $45 to walk, and it was the least exciting, most idiotic course I've ever seen. Great terrain for a course, rolling hills and fully wooded. Think they used that to their advantage? No. Every tee shot was elevated and then the shot to the green was back up a hill. The average uphill shot to the green was roughly 35-40 feet. Was an absolutely crap course.

sorry for the rant. That was 45 bones and thirty minutes drive time that I will never get back. If you're going to be down that way, try Old Oak Country Club in Homer Glen. One of the best kept secrets in Chicagoland.

The beauty of this tour....you are not required to play in all the events...You pick and choose which ones you want to play in. Pretty cool if you ask me. Also noticed you can win visa gift cards (no more than $750 for amateur status), but a lot better than the golf channel and their golf galaxy gift cards. Looks like winners get crystal trophies and the prizes are also flighted.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
