Hope this message finds everyone well. 15 handicapper from Michigan who loves golf and collecting watches. I play on the MIAGT and a 9-hole beer league.

Bag is collage of clubs, my favorite would be my Cobra S2 5-wood and my SeeMore mFGP2 limited edition putter #86/200 made.

Retired from the Marine Corp and currently taking a hiatus from the medical profession this summer to dedicate to golf.

Looking fwd to great discussions with you all and hope to contribute the best I can....

What are the payouts like?  How many places pay, and what do they normally pay?  I've been considering entering some sort of competitive golf tournaments, but haven't taken the plunge yet

1st place for each flight gets a crystal trophy and depending on size of registration for the tournament usually $150-$200, 2nd usually $50-$75 no crystal, 3rd $25-$35 no crystal. We also accumulate points like the fed ex cup and we have 1st half of the season and 2nd half of the season champions and depending on how many points you accumulate through the year you could be invited to to the nationals in Hilton Head, SC. Top ten in points of each flight are invited to the nationals. There are 5 flights Champion, A, B, C, D and they are all dependent on your handicap. I am a 15.2 and am in C flight.....the competition is awesome and it is a challenge every week.

If you ever take the plunge check out the MIAGT it is a professionally fun league and you are treated like a pro, literally.

If you want to PM me, I am able to have a guest for one tournament, kind of a try it before you buy it....

let me know bud...

Were you able to get out and play today? the weather wasn't too bad today, my only concern is the ground. Seems like it would be a bit frozen still.

Oh yeah, teed off at 1010 at SCS and played 30-holes...weather was great, when the sun was out the temp was perfect but when th sun ws stuck behind clouds it got a little nippy, especially torwards the end....

Ground wasn't frozen at all, the course was actually in not to bad of shape, the greens an fariways are going to be awesome this year at SCS

Welcome, I am from Shelby Twp as well. Well actually Washington Twp now but I grew up in Shelby. What courses do you play in the area? I just got on a Monday league at Glacier club, which is awesome because I live across the street from the course :). Anyways, welcome aboard.

Thanks n8dogg

I probably have played every course in the area, if I had to name a few courses that I play frequently, I would say SCS, Greystone, The Orchards, Devils Ridge, Boulder Pointe, Heather Hills, Sycamore Hills, Cracklewood, Timberwood, Captains Club, I can go on and on.....

My 9-hole league is at Sunnybrooke, we play on Tuesdays starting April 19 and my am-tour starts April 16 and our first event is at  Fieldstone

Yeah those are about the same ones I play. I played Romeo Golf Course just about every friday last year in somewhat of a standing tee time. I just got a range pass to The Orchards, so I plan on doing some serious practicing there, nice mile drive from home. Good luck on your tour.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
