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.

    • This is a fun leaderboard. I don't feel particularly vested in anyone specifically albeit we all know one man is looking like he will most probably put this championship to sleep by the time the day is over today. On a different note, I've changed my tune on BDC in the last year or so. I found myself applauding and genuinely happy for him for making the cut yesterday. Iffff a LIV guy wins this year I would rather it be him. Unlikely Scottie who seems to have supreme control of all his levers, he lives a bit more on the edge and yet has the perseverance and might I say, infectious positivity of a small time hustler. Dude just keeps hammering away. Love it.

    • I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up
