Has anyone here ever participated in the Myrtle Beach World Amateur? Or better yet participating this year?

I am considering making it my 'summer' vacation and was looking for feedback from anyone who has experience.

I can't believe that no one on here has chimed in!  Sounds like an awesome opportunity.  Hopefully someday I'll make it out there.

I've known a number of people who have played… and many go every year. It's great fun, apparently, if you enjoy this type of thing. At least, from what I know, you can't really sandbag and get away with it.

That's exactly why I'd like to try something like this. It's laughable the number of guys who play me shot for shot as 15+ handicaps while I am in the 4-6 handicap range in our men's league. Plus, travelling and playing some new courses is something I'm always up for.

I've played the last 3 years, as a 16 I won't see you on the course, yes it's fun and semi competitive, they do a good job of keeping sandbaggers out although I played last year in the 16-18 handi group and it's amazing how many guys can hit a 5 iron 220 off the tee and shoot exactly their cap.....all in all it's really fun and have met some great people if you're going shoot me a message before you go and we can try to meet up at some point.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
