Haven't played in it but I'm curious on how they run the tournaments.  Let us know if you play and what the experience was like.

I have also been thinking about joining the amature tour in jacksonville, fl area. I dont think the online website gives enough information. Anything could help. Been very excited about it.

Looks very interesting to me.  The registration fee of $200 requires that you play at least 2 events to keep your cost per round reasonable.  I'm from Texas and they have 3 events at some pretty nice resorts with some pretty challenging golf courses.   Looks like fun time at a reasonable cost.  2 rounds of golf at +-$300 plus lodging.  

I played in couple events in Ohio a few years ago. These events were open to non-members. But back then it was sponsored by some beer, sorry don't remember which one.

They were flighted by hcp.

They kept some stats, I don't remember which, and could be viewed on that tours web site.

A friend was a member and they ran some kind of a team competition at the same time,

I think if you placed high enough throughout the year you got a trip to the final, which was the best of all the area tours.

About all I know, and since TGC has taken it over it may all be changed.

I will be joining it this coming season. I live on Long Island, NY so I would have to wait a couple more months to play. Hopefully by mid March... Any ways I'll keep everyone posted.

I was looking at joining the Am Tour also, although I live in Buffalo and have to wait for all this stupid snow to melt. I looks very cool and offers some great courses to play, with what I imagine would be some good competition. I'm really looking forward to spring and getting outside to swing the clubs (Titleist ones of course). Have fun Danny and hit 'em straight !
