Hey, guys.  I'm hoping someone can answer my questions seeing as I have zero knowledge about local amatuer tours....

I saw a member on the forum say that he had won a tournament, it looked to be 3 rounds.  The member showed a 14 marker, as FYI.

What are these local amatuer tournaments?  Are they open to the public, there is just a registartion fee and participants are grouped via handicaps?

This looks to be something I'd be interested in doing locally and any information would be great!

Most places have some kind of amateur tours in their area.  You have the Golf Channel tour.  In my area we also have an egolf tour.  You pay a member fee and then pay to play each tournament gaining points.  I know the egolf tour is cool because if you finish high enough, you get to go to Myrtle Beach to play in the national championships or something.  I plan on playing in my local one next year because most of my playing partners have quit.

The egolf tour is now sponsored by Golfweek. I played in the Nashville chapter last season and had a blast! It's a great way to get some competitive play against other players with your skill level. As TN said, the point system is the best thing. The top 10 in each flight are invited to play in the National Championship in Hilton Head.

I'm still having zero luck w/ this.  I've googled it to death.  I cannot find local amatuer tournaments grouped by handicaps.   The Golf Channel's tour has what I'm looking for, but the "Pittsburgh" chapter plays everywhere but Pittsburgh.

UGH!  This shouldn't be too difficult.

thats the closest golfweek tour I could find to you....I've seen that tour played around my area and its well ran here and seems to be fun for all.



This is the egolf organization I was referring to.  It's very well ran around here too and I have been watching the tournament results the last 2 years and their memberships are obviously growing.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
