Are any of you nuts playing in any events this year? Looks like good competitive golf. I am a four handicap and am exited to play in a competitive environment even if i get my rear handed to me!

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
I'll be there for sure
Only played one event last year but it was fun for sure and this year i'll be playing 8 of the 1 day events and maybe 2 or 3 of the two day events depending how I do.
Be prepared to go low though as a lot of these young guys have some serious game. The first event I ever played in i shot a 70 in a practice round and then shot an 81 in the actual tournament round. If you haven't played in one of these before you might get a bit nervous. I know I did and I ended up hitting two out of bounds on the first hole.
It is a lot of fun for sure and you can really see how your game stacks up.In the Exotics Stand Bag

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
Drawbias you're right 100% it is definitely for scratch or better and their is a lot of great young players out on that tour. I've played with a few and was in aw of how they hit the ball. Just imagine being in your mid 30's and hit the ball 280 off the tee only to find yourself 30+ yards behind your whole group.
If i am hitting a 7 iron into a par 4 these young kids are hitting 9 iron or wedge.
It's worth trying though and great experience.In the Exotics Stand Bag

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
i saw what these guys posted last year...low scoring for sure! i have only shot sub par once and have no shot to win...however, i have never played with anyone who shot four or five under. i cant wait to see it infront of my own eyes on the same holes im playing. i guess my four handicap will relate to fourteen in tournament play being that i have never played tournament golf. im sure i will get more used to the pressure as the season progresses. longball, maybe we should meet up before season starts and play a round.

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
For sure the scores can be low and the courses are not set up easy that's for sure.
Hopefully you don't get paired up with someone shooting 90 cuz' that is no fun to watch someone else struggle.In the Exotics Stand Bag

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
On that note I have seen a few players withdraw after 9 holes on the GLT after shooting 44-50 as they have sponsors and don't want them to see the high number they will shoot.
I for one have shot really good rounds out there and some really poor ones mostly due to getting off to a bad start and not being able to turn it around but i always finish and sign my card weather it's a 70 or an 85 and yes i've shot an 85 out there before. It's not hard to do with some of the course set ups.In the Exotics Stand Bag

Re: Great Lakes Tour 2012
if anything, a good experience for sure. i have not played anything in a competivie atmosphere (other than friendly "best ball" tournaments) for over twenty years. i will tell you this, whatever i shoot, it will be posted! Sure i would like to shoot a great number, but i wont wihdrawl if front nine is a horror show....i want if anything to gain experience to pass on to my first son (5yrs old) who is just starting out in our sport......
