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.

Driver: R11s 9 with a Fubuki Tour 63 X-Stiff

Hybrid: taylormade.gif 4 with Fubuki 515 X-Stiff
Irons: titleist.gif Forged 660 3-PW with Dynamic Gold X-100

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.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
