I decided to try them out and golf in one of the tournaments.Before I made the decision I emailed the TD and asked some general questions about playing with them and about entry fees and things.To make a long story short the TD talked me into all the options and entry fee and new member fee wich was supposed to come with new member things ETC. ETC. and never did recieve anything from them.To this day the tournament results have never been posted and its been over a month now.I sent a long letter to the CEO of this company and the TD trying to get some answers as to what happened and I have not got a reply from anyone.It is my belief that the TD pocketed the money as if I was not even there.The bottom line here is if you want to play amateur tournament golf in the dallas area I would be very careful with these shady people,there are other circuits in the area that are alot more professional.

yeah, i'd honestly only play with someone reputable like the golf channel am tour, or set one up with friends. we had a fledgling league among sandtrappers for a few months here in dallas, perhaps it will start up again next year, who knows. but yeah, when it comes to spending lots of money i'm not just giving mine to some random swinging richard of whom i've never heard.

That sucks man! In my area, the eGolf tour is pretty reputable. It is a national thing so you should feel confident in joining. I have been reading about it in my area and was thinking of joining next year. I watch the website and the results are posted the next week. I don't personally know anyone playing on the tour, but these kinds of incidents make you think twice about joining.

Agreed, the eGolf tournament in Michigan is well run. Sorry to hear the Dallas chapter is having problems.

Is the TD from Dallas? If so, I would personally go find out what's up.

Played in several events last year in the Golf Channel series for Louisville/Southern Indiana and would never play in one again. Way too many issues to list here. Cost to join that tour was $199.00 and each event was roughly $100.00 to play. Won 4 events so no sour grapes over handicaps, etc.

Joined the Lexington eGolf Tour and the start of 2010 and highly recommend this tour. Kasey and his wife Amy are running the real deal for amateur golf in this area. Joined them for $99.00 and that included membership into the senior golf tour as well. Well run events, great trophies and the TD and his wife genuinely care about the players and actually ask for your feedback.

Can't say it works the same way in Dallas but for anyone looking for some competitive golf in the Louisville area this is the tour for you. May be the only option in 2011 as the Golf Channel really struggled to get players in 2010, not sure they can survive after the season they've had.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
