I'm not familiar with the minor league tours, so sorry if this is a dumb question.  I couldn't find anything with a quick perusal of the site - http://www.ngatour.com/ - do the top money winners somehow get to the web.com tour?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

While there are no direct affiliations between the NGA Tour and the Web.com Tour or PGA TOUR, the NGA Tour continues to have more players than any other in developmental golf move up to the premier tours each year, be it through the season ending Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament (formerly PGA TOUR Q School), Monday qualifying into PGA TOUR & Web.com Tour events, or receiving one of the many Web.com Tour (and in some cases even PGA TOUR) event exemptions. The NGA Tour received exemptions into the 2014 Sanderson Farms Championship and 2013 & 2014 Reno-Tahoe Open PGA TOUR events.

The NGA Tour has received over 30 PGA TOUR & Web.com Tour event exemptions since the 2010 season.

NGA Tour members such as Peter Malnati, Ted Potter Jr, and Russell Knox, just to name a few, all moved up in-season through Monday Qualifiers.

It would be great if the PGA TOUR would take us over as the official developmental tour for the Web.com Tour here in the states and did the same deal as the NEC Series & PGA Tour Canada where the leading money gets full Web.com Tour status, 2 through 5 get conditional, and 6 through 10 get into final stage of the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament.

If you have any further questions or interest, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
