I cant figure out how to delete this post.  I posted in the main golf forum at the top of the forums after I found it.  Sorry for the double posting any mod. please delete this post unless its not a problem.

Hi, I am new to the sport of golf.  I just started playing about 5 years ago at age 36.  I really want to go to a golf tournement to see some good golfers.  I dont care if its pro or amature and might almost prefer watching some ladies.  I am having trouble finding where tournements are and how to go about getting tickets.  Even after searching all over it seems hard to find anything.  I want to find something in Michigan where I live.  Can anyone help or point me in the right direction on the matter?  Any help appreciated.

Man, I've been there and cant find anything about where to buy tickets, how much.  If I recall I did not see one tournement in MI.  I guess I'll check again.  Is there a paticular spot on the page where some of the lesser tournements are and where to buy tickets?  Thanks for your reply.

Yea, closest one is in Ohio.  So I have to go to ohio with a four day window?   all summer? and thats my only option unless i want to travel further.  I would have thought there would be tournements at lots of courses all summer?  That sucks.

thanks so much.  Where did you find these?  I am not looking in the right places obviously.  Any other advice on where to find tournements from anyone out there is still very much appreciated.  Thanks again.  I may just have to go to one of these.

It was on the pgatour.com website. There are no PGA tour or Nationwide tour events, but the two I referenced were on the Champions tournament listing.

You might try searching your state golf association too. You'll find some top amateur tournaments where you can really get up close and personal with the players.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
