I have started a few topics about Q School and had great responses to them. I recently took a look at the Canadian Tour Q School, and I noticed that they had a winter qualifier in FL this past March. The top 13 would earn their cards, and after 4 rounds the score that made it through was +6. That was much higher than I would have thought...is the Canadian Tour basically at the same level as tours like the Gateway? I would think Hooter's Tour players would have better scores than +6.

The scorecard always lies, as they say. Shooting +6 at the U.S. Open is different from shooting +6 at your home course on Wednesday. Now, I'm not saying that the Canadian Tour and the Hooters Tour are that far apart, but it's worth noting that the scores they get don't always tell you how the course is set up or how good players they are.

The Canadian Tour is an umbrella tour. There are OWGR points for some finishers. Some finishers get spots in some NWT and/or PGA Tour events (Gretzky Tournament and Canadian Open, IIRC). So it isn't a mini-tour, but then again, people on the tour are likely looking to graduate and go somewhere else.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
