Let's make a listing of the top mini tours in North America and how to qualify for them.

I'll start with the Canadien Tour. They have a Q School that runs in the winter (florida) and in the fall (canada).

As far as qualifying goes, the Canadian and Nationwide Tours, to my knowledge, are the only ones with a QSchool. The others you simple pay for an event and play.

I've got a link on my desktop at home that lists most on the known mini-tours in North America.

Nice, I should go into one of the events. I'd win and be an amazing underdog with my handicap of 30.

In SoCal/AZ/NV we have a tour called the Pepsi Tour which has a Net Division. Maybe there's one in your area too?

Ben,

when you play in a mini tour event, do you just pay the registration fee and you're in the tourni? or do you have a membership in a specific mini tour? how's that work

My club just hosted a Dakotas Tour event last weekend, it was pretty cool. A lot of younger guys who are just trying to get some experience and earn a few bucks along the way. One of them shot a 64 in the second (and final) round to break the course record, pretty impressive.

I can't say for sure, but I think you can just fork over the $500 and play. At that price for entry I'm sure the hacks are weeded out from the start. Our payout was $10k guaranteed, which from what I'm told is pretty good for that tour.

I noticed on the link of mini tours that there is one called the Sand Trap Tour, Erik you didn't go off and start your own tour ala Vince McMahon (XFL) did you?

Ben,

There is an annual membership to be paid, but you can use winnings to pay them off. With membership you get discounted rates for the events.

what do you think of the Pepsi Tour or the Golden State Tour, i'm thinking on playing these, i'm from Utah so i need a tour close by.

there both good. Its kind of a crap shoot with mini tours tho. You get some really good golfers who come and shoot the lights out for pennies, so its a tough go. Its great for your game tho and if you are serious about it, it will help to push your game under pressure situations.

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
