Was curious to which are the best amateur tournaments in the country.  I have played in the myrtle and mesquite, both are really good.  But I have heard of a couple more in Palm Springs, Atlantic City, Michigan, and Fort Myers.  Interested to know what your thoughts were and if any of these or others I haven't heard about are worth looking into.  The Sun Cup looks good and is in my neck of the woods, curious to what the consensus on that tournament is.

Have you ever checked out the Golf Week Amateur Tour (formerly ea golf tour)? I have played in a few events. I believe it is the largest amateur tour in the us or at least one of. I actually played a few rounds with the founder, Dennis mcCormick. He was a tour manager for rolling stones and former college golfer who started a little mini tour in north Carolina And it has since spread throughout the country into different sections. There was a huge bidding war between golf channel and other big tours but he ended up partnering with golf week to maintain some control. I see you are a bulls fan, so if you live in chicagoland they have a Chicago tour. It is season long points based tour and I believe the top 5 from each section qualify for the national championship in Hilton head island. Check it out...www.amateurgolftour.net

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
