I am ready to sign up for the US Open.........................LOL

[David in FL]

The Florida State Golf Association knows better.  The only emails they send me are to ask for money...

What's so funny about it?

You're under a 1.4, so they email you so you know you're eligible.

[shanksalot]

My thoughts exactly, it fact it is an honor to get one anytime.

[iacas]

Plus the more people sign up for qualifiers the more people qualify or move on, so your golf association is just trying to boost those numbers. 

[Aflighter]

Heck I would be honored even if they emailed me to say your not qualified.

I'm thinking about registering for a qualifier for fun, but I haven't gotten any emails about it. I have to hunt down the forms myself on the USGA website, so for those who are interested it seems like a nice little bit of convenience to not have to go looking.

[mistermuhl]

If I qualified, I'd do it to say I did it. Why not? What if you win? What if you keep winning? Nothing to lose makes you dangerous

[dennyjones]

Obviously I'm not qualified to give it a go but I did look at the local qualifiers in my area.    The closest is completely closed, full up!   

[Papa Steve 55]

Yeah, I would print that out and frame it.

[Vinsk]

Like Iacas wrote, am I missing something? You do qualify....pretty damn cool I'd say! 

[Aflighter]

Anyone know how much it cost to try and qualify?

One site seems to indicate that you need below 1.4 and to "pony up" $175. I don't know if that includes the greens fees or not? I'd guess so?

Not sure if @BuckeyeNut is over 50 years or not? If he is then the requirements seem to be only 3.4 for the Senior Open?

Uh, yeah. you pay the $175 and that covers everything except a cart.

Piss on the US Open. I'm gunning for B Flight for the Kittyhawk Men's Association Club Championship this year.

By the time I spend money on how to immediately cut 10 strokes off my game and post the needed scores ,  im not sure ill be able to afford $175.
