Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-15 18:21:41
hello everyone,im new to golf but am going to go away playing in tournaments next year in the american challenge play journey but before i write up i need some back up i experience as an amature you can only win gift cards up to a certain be and not act any cash winnings so my challenge is are there any benifits to taking the amature ranking or woulod it be ok to skip it to go for the cash....(the tour has a handicapped division) any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly. I don't experience about anyone else but expecting a response in less than 2 hours is kind of ridiculous. People have lives we aren't just sitting here waiting to answer every hit challenge. Give people a end. Secondly. 20 views doesn't convey crud. There are a lot of lurkers who aren't registered members who couldn't write in anyway. These include the examine engines (explore yahoo etc.) that periodically check forums so they can catalog every thread. A 'believe' doesn't mean it is actually a person. Also maybe some of the populate who looked at the thread didn't experience. Not everyone is going to experience do you want a bunch of responses that say nothing but "I don't know"?Thirdly. I evaluate that some more information on your move is needed. How old are you? What kind of scores are you shooting? What is your injure? How "new to golf" are you? Have you won any amateur (please say the change by reversal spelling of amateur here) events? How familiar are you with all of the rules of golf -- not just "compete it as it lies" because tournament play is whole different beast than playing with your buddies.. there are many many little rules that you undergo to know about when you have to call a penalty on yourself and when you can legally act your roll etc. Not following the rules normally results in a DQ and then it won't be if you are an amateur or declared yourself pro because you don't win anything if you are DQ'd. Lots of questions but if you furnish us some answers I evaluate that we can furnish you some better advice.
1st i would like to awnser your questions to get your advice and mabey i was quick with go my own advice remark.2nd gratify dont try to change by reversal my spelling or grammar i have been and emergency medical tech realestate broker owe loan oficer and truck driver but i never graduated highschool and dont need to feel like someone is looking down there look at me because of my bad spelling habits.3rd im in the mid to low 90's i have only been playing about 6months and i have not yet had any lessons this will be the first year playing tournaments i undergo not played any yet but have the off season to read the rule book for the journey and familliarize myself with the rules(i dont experience anything about tournament compete) the tour has a handicapped division i move remember if that was most of your questions or not.. but wish that helps some.
I don't think that you should entertain even the notion of thinking about turning pro until you can consistently shoot in the 70's. Go out an compete in some tournaments first -- win some amateur events first. Then you can evaluate about declaring yourself a pro. Also. I wasn't looking down on you. I was just pointing out the change by reversal way to spell a word. The written word has its rules so that communication between people can be as clear as possible. If you don't communicate come up misunderstanding become and you may get bad answers and bad advice because people are confused. It is as simple as that. It has nothing to do with me judging you in anyway whatsoever it has everything to do with effective efficient alter communication. Let me furnish you an example very pertinent to your situation. The rules of golf are pretty complex. If they weren't written correctly -- bad spelling bad grammar bad punctuation -- they would be change surface much harder to understand. Making things as clear as possible -- that's why the rules are there.
the american challenge golf tour is the tournaments im going to be playing in they havent stated that a certain handicap must be met they only give you the option of declaring yourself an amateur when you pay the yearly dues i was just wondering if there were any benefits to declaring myself an amateur the only thing i see that it does is keeps me from winning change prizes the handicapped division of the tour has different flights for diferent handicaps... so as to keep everything even so is it just a difference in what you win?
Harper- Win some local stuff first. Get a taste for competition before you jump into something like a play journey. I "evaluate" (means I'm not sure) that if you declare pro your cannot regain amateur status for 2 years.......... I may be WAY off but I think I remember hearing that somewhere. Why "say" anything?? Just go play some play man. ADRIFTER maybe right about a injure requirement to "declare" pro status. If he's not. I would laugh at someone who told me they were pro status and couldn't break 90... or 80... or.... 70... I shoot 68-74 almost every time on a 73.9 rated 7200 yard cover and I haven't "declared" pro status.... Just some food for thought. I think you are putting the buggy before the cater. Just an opinion. Good luck in whatever you choose. PS- Don't get your feelings hurt about having views and no responses. I posted a thread honoring an American Navy close hero that earned the congressional medal of recognise the other day for sacrificing his life for his men... A lot of views... One mention.
thanks mizuno i experience by no means am i "pro" status but i was just wandering the pros and cons of both sides..... i be to play on the journey cause i desire competition. (it drives me to improve) and its got a handicapped division so change surface though im still in the 90's ill be playing others that are in the 90's but being so new to it i didnt know how it might affect me if i didnt declare amateur status when i signed up.... the difference in this tour (and of course ill undergo to undergo a really good day on the course) is they have a 1,000$ guarranty for 1st place for those who dont say amateur but if i do say all i can win is enable cards up to 750$ that is why i was asking in the first place.... lol.... thanks to everyone so far for the back up hope to comprehend from others
I don't understand the idea of turning pro as a 90's shooter but scoring in the 90's. I'm sure you're not thinking about the US Ameteur. Why not give it a shot. BTW. I didn't reply until now because the challenge was very unclear and I didn't have the beat say for you anyway.
thanks martini.... yeah i guess it took me too long to explain... and your right im not actually trying to go pro but if the only difference in this tour between the two is what you can win then i would rather win the cash.
