Yeah as far as that region is concerned I would check out the http://www.fairwaygolftour.com/newdesign/ know 1 guy who played in that and had a good experience. They pay out more. I sure wish I lived in an area that had a tour like that. Otherwise I will settle for GolfChannels AM Tour

ahh heres the link http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Golf/Organizations/Mini-Tours/ not all tours are on here but most should be

depends on where you live and what type of tour you are looking into tours like the adams tour and egolf tour and hooters tour are minor league level tours along with Gateway Tour... then you have succesful state tours like the Pepsi Golf tour which Ben Tateel (sandtrap member) plays on. If you look at mini tour play under the tour forum , search mini tour. you will find on one of the first pages a link that Ben posted to a site with links to every mini golf tour. Also it helps look at Amateur and Pro Tours. Some large country based amateur tours still pay out an amount of money and as long as they stay under 750 prize money amateur status remains good

i didnt say you had to buy it. I said you had to have the intent / anyone can have intent

correct me if im wrong and very well might be. But i thought he rarely played in the pebble feb pro am which this year is his old sponsor AT & T... I would like to see tiger play a tournament at a location he rarely ever goes. Like St Jude or John Deere classic just to see how he plays on a course he doesnt play all the time.

So i like their Z TP wedge but they are no longer making it. I thought the changable face wedge was cool but a gimmick. If you look at all website stores they are no longer stocking any TM wedges. Also TM's website doesnt even have a good wedge selection in their shop. They have RH 56* change face wedges. I feel like they know they made a mistake with their change face wedges and are working on something new... I wouldnt think a company like TM just wouldnt make wedges. Anyone know if they have something up their sleeve

got trade the guy and their not making any money on it. Unfortunately I have to wait for the second taylor made shipment which is mid feb

Hit the r11 again last night and ordered my r11 today and cant wait to put it in play. like you todd a white grip will be going on in within minutes. It feels good and the rep I know lowered my price to 200 so I couldnt pass it up

i went last night to my local GG. The rule was you had to demo the driver with intent to buy it to receive gift card. After Demo'ing the driver you are given the gift card. I was 8th in line at my store and arrived at 11pm. I was going to buy the driver if I got good value on trade (didnt get good value) so passed. My buddy is good friends with the TM rep and the rep is giving me one for 200. Nonetheless the GG only sold 2 r11 drivers but sold two r11 bags and 2 Burner superfasts the kids they had running the demo were turds but as far as the driver goes loved the way it felt and am excited mine is on the way. Also happy i got the 50 bucks. Joke of the night... the guy who was 1st in line brought his wife who doesnt really play golf... She swung the club with "intent to buy" got the Gift card gave it to her husband and they left. To each their own and they waited for 3 hours so i dont have a problem with it.

how do u like the cleveland putter

i have this picture in my action shots of my profile but here is a nice picture on one of the holes at TPC deere run... Had the longest drive of the foursome and was waiting for my turn ... Its a long hill with a large tree in the middle of the fairway. not pictured. Was about 165 out here and the right side of the green drops off like a cliff

Took some pictures with my motorola droid. Some pics of my bag pre season here before I do some overhaulin to it... In the Bag currently... Ben Hogan Big Ben driver Taylor Made Burner 3wd Hogan Apex Hybrids 3-4 Hogan Edge 5-E Irons GigaGolf 52* Taylor Made RAC 56* Taylor Made ZTP 60* Bettinardi Putter .. Will be trading in the Driver and 56* Vokey wedge along with the 3wd (not pictured) for the R11 Also regripping all the clubs and replacing the GigaGolf wedge with a ZTP wedge *PS let me know if the images are too large

WU i went to the expo same time as you sounds like on friday despite the weather... Demo'd some nice clubs and now have a long wish list. How did u like it

I demo'd the R11 at the St. Louis Golf Expo over Jan 21st weekend. I got lucky they had all the new clubs up for demo even though they dont hit the shelves until next month. It is a lot more quiet than the 460 on the indoor range/monitor. It felt really good which makes me kinda upset. I was hoping that it wouldnt impress me so my decision would be easier. Now it will be hard. To the other replies I thank you for the responses. I know as I was in retail TM loves to have a lot of models come out / sometimes even twice a year so not only the value decreases dramatically so do the previous year clubs. Im surprised the Aldila the club comes with sucks that bad and shocked that its really that much louder than some other golf models out there, specifically Nike and Ping. BTW never have hit burner woods well, the elongated back of the head messes me up mentally in the head

I have a decision coming up next month... I have a 5 year old driver and will be upgrading. Obviously reviews are out on the r11 however I know people have hit the r9 460 drivers. I have demo'd both drivers and of course I like both of them. I feel like the 460 will be good enough however I can get a deal on both so my decisions seems tough. Due to giftcards I can the r9 460 for 25 bucks and the r11 for 190... What would "the sand trap" do ? Also R9 users please leave your thoughts on your driver.

yeah cuz anthony kim will be ready by that time and there are some good americans who could be back by then and some young guns that could be ripe for the pickin in 2012

appreciate it ...i just did some research and it says usa network will have it live starting at 4 am et

if i could ask one question... cant seem to find on my dtv guide what station the ryder cup will be on tomorrow morning. This is obviously a question for the american tv followers. is it on a 4 et or 3 et and is it espn or nbc... appreciate the help

Anyone ever play in the nature valley amateur tournaments around the country I am registered and traveling up state this weekend to deere run to try and play some good golf. I will post my results and stories from hopefully a good weekend most likely in a blog story but wanted to see if anyone here has participated so I know what to expect... other than the occasional sand bagger www.naturevalleygolf.com

some need to lay off the picture requests and get a lady friend :) i would less make fun of the kid for a lack of a picture and more over make fun because they hooked up via facebook... jus kiddin bud... honestly women are everywhere else the last place I need to worry about looking for them is the golf course... if they enjoy the game then there welcome to join up and stripe one down the middle of the fairway... however ive seen some out there for looks and to hook up with someone and id rather them go to the nearest sports bar...

Oosthauziun (sp? ) or lucas glover in recent memory... oosthauziun barely cuts it on the europe tour. I was watching him this morning... just not good...

hit the r9 460 because its only 2 bills at golf galaxy.. havent bought it yet but will own it before next spring. Demo'd it and really enjoy hitting the club. Price is cant beat as well. I would imagine supertri is even better but I would wait a little longer eh... taylor made is about to come out with something new which will lower the tri's price

to the op i had a round like that this morning but it was a little different. Ball striking was very solid but I had some bad lies (like 3 times dead behind a tree) a few bad bounces like one took a 90 degree bounce into OB... but i hit shots pretty solid and ended well.. went Bogey - double - double - bogey - double - par - par - par - par so 8 over on 9 holes and i was livid... went to the putting green to cool down and putt for a half hour... went hit my second bucket of the day and went home. Sometimes you have to take away the positives and build on that. Forget about the bad shots and dont lose sleep over it. best thing to do is to get back on the horse right away tho. But you said your putting was good so I would at least take away that.

.... 10 Players below rank them how you think they will finish respective to others on the list. If you think the possible winner is not on the list also list the guy you think will win this up coming weekend... Players: Tiger Woods Dustin Johnson Steve Stricker Phil Mickelson Jason Day Rory McIlroy Ernie Els Bubba Watson Justin Rose Matt Kuchar My list: Tiger Woods *Also Winner Dustin Johnson Bubba Watson Rory Mcilroy Justin Rose Steve Stricker Matt Kuchar Phil Mickelson Jason Day Ernie Els

Rory over phil any day for now on... Take away both their victories this season (Take away Phil's Masters Win) (Take away RORS QH win) Rory much better season as he was pretty close at the British and PGA... good showing at the masters and some high finishes in other tourneys.
