I posted this in a different section and i think it was the wrong one. 

So I'll post it here. 

Looking to get some information on the golf week amatuer tour in Chicago.  Or any golf week amatuer tour reguardless what city.

ive never played in a tournament before so I have no idea what to expect the leagues and stuff like that around me are all night or senior leagues and I work 2-10pm so that is out of the question.

Had anyone played in one of these tours

if so how did you like it? Was it a smooth running operation or like a big cluster of confusion? My friend I go golfing with every weekend wants to do it to but he won't research anything to try to figure it out before hand. 

I notcied there were 4 flights of players so then I would have to register for usga which isn't a big deal.

and the tour had a registration fee of like 200$ I think. Was it worth it? 

Just an overall experience of the quality of the tour would be awesome to hear from someone.

I played the Golf Weekly Amateur Tour in North Carolina for 2 seasons. It was alot of fun, I enjoyed it.

Ours always ran very smooth. Some tournaments took longer than others depending on how hard the courses were. The Majors always took 5+ hours to play because people took it way too serious.

I played mostly in the A flight, but there were a few weeks my handicap would go below a 4 and i would have to play that week in the Championship flight. Overall its alot of fun competing against people the same skill level as you. I won 3 tournaments and had a ton of top 10's.

Our member fee was like $100 and every tournament you entered was like $75. Got to play a bunch of private courses so the $$$ wasnt that big of a deal.

Overall it was pretty cool, I would def sign up for it if you like playing in tournaments.
