next handicap update, my handicap index will be below 3, which puts me eligible to attempt to qualify for the mid-am. Is there any reason why I shouldn't play in the qualifying?

I have never played in a USGA event before and i have no illusions of grandeur of actually having a chance. But i would like some experience of playing competitive golf at a high level.

So for those more experienced, is there any reason I shouldn't try to qualify?

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

I plan to play if my handicap gets low enough (and my age gets high enough). Go attempt to qualify; in the worst case, you play some golf at a great course with some of the best amateurs who chose against a professional golf career.
