Hey guys just joined the forums. I am 25 and live in West Georgia. Currently a 10 handicap. I used to play some tournament golf and played on my high school team for 3 years. I have been away from golf for some time and have just returned and really miss the competition.

I have asked around and their don't seem to be any local clubs or leagues I could participate in so I am looking into some amateur leagues or "tours" I guess you could call them. Really just want to meet new people and feel that atmosphere again. I am wondering if anyone on here has ever played in or knows someone who was played in any of these "leagues" and could give me any insight into the experience and what I would really be getting myself into as far as costs. Not in it to win or as a platform to get to the next level. Just want to have fun and meet new people and challenge myself.

Welcome. I was in the same situation as you almost exctly last fall, except im 29 and been away a little longer. I have my handicap down to 5 and ticking to zero is the goal. But I would look around at some clubs and see if they have a young adult membership. A lot of clubs in my area offer discounts to those in the 21-40 range to join at 25-40% off. From here play with lots of members and im sure you will find some good compition. Then talk to the club pro once you feel like your ready to compete some amateur golf tournaments for fun. Also lots of clubs have men's leagues one night during week. From there you can get matched with random people and meet some others to play golf with on the weekends. Good luck and welcome back to golf!

Thanks a lot grubby. Not sure why I didn't think of doing that in the first place lol. I will do some research this week and see if I can find something that fits. If you get tired of that R11 btw I will take it off your hands.

Why don't you just walk into the Atlanta Athletic Club or Peachtree and ask about their membership rates?

I'll just walk into AAC and demand a membership and a heavily discounted rate. Should go over like a Led Zeppelin.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
