Anyone ever play on amateur tours and have advice on which one to sign up for?

For context, I played in college, wasn’t good enough and too poor to try to make it then. But now I’m financially stable, still have a decent game and would like to get back into the game competitively. TIA

Check out city tour. Not sure which cities they are available in, but this is what you’re looking for

I would just look at your states golf association. They usually host events throughout the year. I play in my states Am and Mid-Am every year.

So that was my first thought, but apparently DC doesn’t have one officially. Guess it makes sense there really aren’t many courses within the city limits.

What area are you in?

Not sure about mini tours but you can try the mid atlantic golf association or something like Virginia state golf association. I use to play for VSGA and tournaments can get pretty competitive.

Thanks for the recommendations! I ended up signing up for the US AM Tour. It’s nationwide but each major city has a sub tour, so I joined DC, but I’m able to play on Richmond, VA your and Baltimore, MD tour as well. Really fun so far!

There are 4 flights depending on your handicap and you compete each weekend for gift cards and skins so you’re able to keep you amateur status but still win prize money.

If you play well enough throughout the year you can qualify for the nationwide championship which is in San Diego this year.

That’s great, I have a friend who plays on the AM Tour and likes it! Let me know if you’re interested in playing together someday, I play competitively as well and am in DMV area.

Bought my first club set online (used to rent) and I was bending a lot more than usual.

Don’t seem to see that many online and there wasn’t much choice at the store…
