Golfweek Amateur Tour


Recommended Posts

How many Spies are playing in this Tour? I just played my first ever event (my first time ever competing in golf, really) this past weekend. Had an absolute blast even though the weather was in the "worst possible" category. 45 degrees, 25 knot gusts, driving rain the entire 18. By the 16th I realized I had never in my short playing life wanted to get off of a golf course that badly. Did not care where I finished, or what my score was. Still, my playing partners were just awesome to play golf with, and even though we were all equally miserable they never once lost their positivity. Cant say enough good things about those guys, and I hope we get grouped together again in the future.

I have looked into it a few times but for some reason I never seem to commit. I really need to look at it again. Where are you located?

I did the same for a couple of years before pulling the trigger. Glad I did. I'm in NYC, but I'm in a great spot where I can play the New Jersey, and/or the Metro New York Tour. It's whatever my schedule allows me to play.

Not as well as I would've liked, but no one had a good round in those conditions. The lowest score for the tournament was +10. I finished middle of the pack in C Flight, but my big positive was winning a skin for my birdie on the 12th. Worth a nice little stack of green colored paper!

I tried it when it first came to my region in 2019. Terrible experience and quit the tour after 2 events. They're still here but I don't see many people playing.

I played in a few Indianapolis events last year because they were the only events around due to covid.  I thought the tour was well run, not a ton of people, but everyone was very nice.  And if you do the skins and contests you can walk away with some green.

Hey all, I'm new to the mygolfspy forum, but was reading through this topic and figured I would comment on it. Golf Channel Am tour used to be decent and where I played most, but was expensive. The Golfweek Am tour is not good as stated above. I've been playing in the Nextgengolf City Tour events for a while which are awesome. They are part of the PGA.  Pretty affordable and they have unbelievable championships if you can qualify (this year is at Whistling Straits 3 weeks before the Ryder Cup). Only struggle is you need to be near a city.
