Whoa those are long rounds. That's longer than when I play with my 10 year old daughter lol.

This is all great. My aim is to take my game to the next level just for myself I don't really think I can/will win anything and feel like some healthy competition might really propel me. This is an "amature tour" with flights with even a "hackerish" flight (Their words). I do however play that way already no gimmies and count every stroke and penalty because I always want my numbers to be legit. My handicap I feel is a little better than I actually play though primarily because its based off of many many rounds on my local par 3 which I have gotten quite good at over the last two years and can hit almost every green on a good day.

This is great advice! Thank you!

How soon is too soon? I've been playing since the pandemic (yes one of those) but I did play previously I just decided to pick it back up and take the game serious in the pandemic. Serious meaning practice and play regularly as opposed to once every 5 years. I have gotten actually okay in this time and have gotten to a comfortable 20 handicap and shoot in the mid to late 80's pretty regular on my local courses. I have been following a golf community and they put this am tour together and I was thinking about playing just for fun you know even though its a little bit of an investment I'm not going into it like I'm gonna play lights out and win hahah. Is it worth it? Are there other competitive options I should try first? This particular tour has a flight for my handicap so I thought it would be okay but I would only play the one stop on the tour I have no plans to travel to the others. Anyway any advice or opinions are appreciated. -s
