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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
