Hope this message finds everyone well. 15 handicapper from Michigan who loves golf and collecting watches. I play on the MIAGT and a 9-hole beer league.

Bag is collage of clubs, my favorite would be my Cobra S2 5-wood and my SeeMore mFGP2 limited edition putter #86/200 made.

Retired from the Marine Corp and currently taking a hiatus from the medical profession this summer to dedicate to golf.

Looking fwd to great discussions with you all and hope to contribute the best I can....

What are the payouts like?  How many places pay, and what do they normally pay?  I've been considering entering some sort of competitive golf tournaments, but haven't taken the plunge yet

1st place for each flight gets a crystal trophy and depending on size of registration for the tournament usually $150-$200, 2nd usually $50-$75 no crystal, 3rd $25-$35 no crystal. We also accumulate points like the fed ex cup and we have 1st half of the season and 2nd half of the season champions and depending on how many points you accumulate through the year you could be invited to to the nationals in Hilton Head, SC. Top ten in points of each flight are invited to the nationals. There are 5 flights Champion, A, B, C, D and they are all dependent on your handicap. I am a 15.2 and am in C flight.....the competition is awesome and it is a challenge every week.

If you ever take the plunge check out the MIAGT it is a professionally fun league and you are treated like a pro, literally.

If you want to PM me, I am able to have a guest for one tournament, kind of a try it before you buy it....

let me know bud...

Were you able to get out and play today? the weather wasn't too bad today, my only concern is the ground. Seems like it would be a bit frozen still.

Oh yeah, teed off at 1010 at SCS and played 30-holes...weather was great, when the sun was out the temp was perfect but when th sun ws stuck behind clouds it got a little nippy, especially torwards the end....

Ground wasn't frozen at all, the course was actually in not to bad of shape, the greens an fariways are going to be awesome this year at SCS

Welcome, I am from Shelby Twp as well. Well actually Washington Twp now but I grew up in Shelby. What courses do you play in the area? I just got on a Monday league at Glacier club, which is awesome because I live across the street from the course :). Anyways, welcome aboard.

Thanks n8dogg

I probably have played every course in the area, if I had to name a few courses that I play frequently, I would say SCS, Greystone, The Orchards, Devils Ridge, Boulder Pointe, Heather Hills, Sycamore Hills, Cracklewood, Timberwood, Captains Club, I can go on and on.....

My 9-hole league is at Sunnybrooke, we play on Tuesdays starting April 19 and my am-tour starts April 16 and our first event is at  Fieldstone

Yeah those are about the same ones I play. I played Romeo Golf Course just about every friday last year in somewhat of a standing tee time. I just got a range pass to The Orchards, so I plan on doing some serious practicing there, nice mile drive from home. Good luck on your tour.
