PALMETTO AMATEUR GOLF TOUR

 
2 TOURS IN 2010! SPRING TOUR & FALL TOUR.
COME RACE FOR THE GOLD CUPS IN 2010!
IN 2010 WE ARE HAVING A SPRING TOUR AND A FALL TOUR. EACH TOUR WILL CONSIST OF 9 TOURNAMENTS.(see schedules below) EACH SERIES WILL HAVE ITS OWN CHAMPIONSHIP PAYOUT. WE HOPE THIS WILL ALLOW MORE PLAYERS, WHO HAVE WANTED TO PLAY, BE ABLE TO PLAY IN ONE TOUR OR BOTH. WE HAVE 5 FLIGHTS! EVERY PLAYER HAS A FAIR CHANCE TO WIN THEIR FLIGHT EACH WEEK. COME PLAY SOME COMPETITIVE GOLF PLAYING FOR YOURSELF. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO HAVE FUN PLAYING GOLF. TEST YOUR GAME!
   
Congratulations To Our 2009 Flight Champions 
 Gary Odom - AA Flight; Brian Poe - A Flight; Eddie Silvers - B Flight; John Strickland - C Flight; Ryan Sloan - D Flight.
Each winner recieved $250.00 and the Gold Cup. Second place finishers recieved $100.00 and Third place recieved 2009 Points Race Membership. This is not bad for 300 rounds played. If only we could average 50 players for 9 rounds in 2010 for 450 rounds. (see below what the payout would be then). Hope we can average more players in 2010 so the purse can grow. We are the only tour that builds a championship purse for the players to win. The purse grows with every round played in both the Spring and Fall Tours, each tour is a different points race to decide champions for each Tour. Play in both tours or one.  $6.00 per round will make up the championship purse again in 2010! Congratulations to the winners in 2009.
 

The Spring and Fall Tours are 2 seperate points race tours. You can play in One of the Tours or Both. Compete to win the points championship for your flight. Players come see if you can win the Championship in your flight, test your game and have the most fun you can have playing Golf. You will compete against players with your same ability. We have a handicap system that works. Ask any of our regular players. Most of our regular players have played the other tours and are pleased to have made the change. We hope you will to. To win the Tour Championship you will earn points for how you finish in your Flight. There will be 7 One Day Tournaments and 2 Two Day Tournaments in each Tour. We will count each players Best 5 One Day Tournaments and 1 Two Day Tournament to determine the Flight Winners for each Tour. It Cost $20.00 to get into the Points Race for One Tour or $30 for both Tours. You do not have to join the points race to play in our tournaments. If you just want to play in a few tournaments and not compete for the Championship payouts. We hope to see you at the first tournament in March to compete to win your flights Tour Championship. You can sign up to play on this web site or call 864-456-4483 or 864-323-7495.

 COURSE MEMBERS CAN PAY THE COURSE WHAT THEY NORMALLY PAY TO PLAY, THEN PAY $40.00 TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENT AT SIGN UP TABLE WITH YOUR PAID RECIEPT FROM THE COURSE.

COMPARE WHY WE ARE THE #1 TOUR FOR FAIRNESS IN THE UPSTATE 
WE PLAY 18 HOLE STROKE PLAY TOURNAMENT GOLF. EACH GOLFER PLAYS FOR THEMSELVES AGAINST PLAYERS IN THEIR FLIGHT WITH EQUAL ABILITY. PLAYERS PLAY AGAINST 5 TO 15 PLAYERS IN THEIR FLIGHT.
 
IN 2010 THE AA & A FLIGHTS WILL PLAY FROM 6400 - 6600 YARDS, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW. THE B, C, & D FLIGHTS WILL ALL PLAY FROM 6000-6200 YARDS.
 SENIORS (50 & UP) AND LADIES WILL ALSO PLAY FROM THE 6000 - 6200  YARDAGE, THEN THEY WILL BE KEPT IN THE CORRECT FLIGHT BY THEIR HANDICAP THEY ACHIEVE WITH THE PAG TOUR HANDICAP SYSTEM FROM THIS YARDAGE. WE WILL ADJUST EACH COURSE TO THESE YARDAGES. THIS WILL ALLOW THE B, C, AND D PLAYERS TO HIT THE GREEN IN REGULATION MORE OFTEN AND PUTT FOR MORE BIRDIES AND EAGLES, JUST LIKE THE PROS. 
 
PAG HANDICAP SYSTEM KEEPS IT FAIR FOR ALL PLAYER TO WIN THEIR FLIGHT. 
IF IT NEVER SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN IN THE TOURNAMENTS YOU CURRENTLY PLAY IN, THEN YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS TOUR A TRY. WE KEEP IT FAIR FOR ALL PLAYERS TO WIN IN THEIR FLIGHT. WE HAVE THE FAIREST HANDICAP SYSTEM, TO MAKE SURE EACH PLAYER HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THEIR FLIGHT AGAINST PLAYERS WITH THE SAME ABILITY. LOOK AT OUR POINTS STANDINGS FOR THE 2008 & 2009 SEASONS AND SEE HOW CLOSELY BUNCHED OUR PLAYERS HANDICAPS ARE. (Tournament Standings Page)   WE USE ONLY THE SCORES YOU SHOOT ON THE PAG TOUR TO CREATE YOUR PAG TOUR HANDICAP, TO KEEP PLAYERS IN THEIR CORRECT FLIGHT. THIS PROTECTS AGAINST SANDBAGGING OR PADDING OF HANDICAPS. IN 2009 WE WILL EVALUATE NEW PLAYERS FOR THEIR FIRST 3 TOURNAMENTS TO SEE IF THEY ARE IN THE CORRECT FLIGHT.  THEN WE AVERAGE EACH PLAYERS BEST 5 SCORES. 2 DAY SCORES WILL COUNT EACH DAY AS ONE OF YOUR 5 SCORES. THIS TOUR KEEPS PLAYERS IN THEIR CORRECT FLIGHT. WE WILL FREEZE EACH PLAYERS HANDICAP FOR LAST 3 TOURMANMENTS, BUT AFTER EACH TOUR ENDS A PLAYER SHOULD MOVE UP IN FLIGHT, THEY WILL BE MOVED AT THAT TIME, AND MUST START THE NEXT TOUR IN THEIR NEW FLIGHT.  WE FEEL IF YOU SHOOT A SCORE 5 TIMES YOU CAN ALWAYS SHOOT THAT AVERAGE SCORE AGAIN. EVERY GOLFER HAS A BAD ROUND ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT THAT DON'T MEAN HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COUNT THESE ROUNDS FOR THEIR AVERAGE, THEN BE ALLOWED TO STAY OR GO IN THE EASIER FLIGHT.  THAT ALLOWS FOR PADDING YOUR HANDICAP.  WE ARE THE ONLY TOUR WHO DOES THIS TO KEEP IT FAIR FOR ALL. COMPARE US TO ANY OTHER TOUR AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE. SWING ON OVER TO THE FAIREST AND BEST PAYING TOUR.
 
TOURS THAT AVERAGE ALL OF THE PLAYERS SCORES TO PROVIDE THE PLAYERS HANDICAP CAN BE PADDED WHEN A PLAYER IS PLAYING BAD AND TURNS IN A 95 WHEN THEY HAVE SHOT BETWEEN 78 - 81 IN 5 OTHER ROUNDS.  TOURS THAT USE HANDICAP ADJUSTMENTS AFTER PLAYING HAVE TO BIG OF A SPREAD IN EACH FLIGHT GIVING AN ADVANTAGE TO THE HIGH HANDICAP GOLFERS. (See Rules for more)
 
 
How Championship Points Race Works To Win Your Flight Edit Text
POINTS:
Players will earn points at each tournament by how they place in their flight. Each flight will have its own championship race. If you tie, you will receive the same amount as the players you tied. Except first place.  Example: A player shoots an 85 and so do you - you finish tied for third at 75 points, so you both receive 75 points. If there is a tie for first place, the win will be decided by the #1 handicap hole on the course. Then, on #2, if still tied, and #3, and so on. Then the player who wins the tie receives the 100 points, with the others receiving second place points by themselves.
Edit Text
The Points will be awarded as follows, plus a 10 point show up bonus for each tournament you play. This will never be dropped off your points total when we throw away your worst rounds. In 2010 we will count each players best 5 one day rounds and 1 two day round, to determine the flight champions for both the Spring and Fall Tour. This allows players to miss a few and still get all their rounds in for championship points race.
1st - 100     4th - 70      7th - 55       10th - 40 13th - 25      16th and below - 10
2nd - 80      5th - 65      8th - 50       11th - 35 14th - 20
3rd - 75       6th - 60      9th - 45       12th - 30 15th - 15

Edit Text
CHAMPIONSHIP PAYOUTS FOR EACH TOUR
The PAG Tour uses $6.00 from each round played for the whole year to create year-end purse. Each Flight will pay the same. In the case of a tie in the final standings, we will go back and find out which player had the most firsts and seconds, and so on. Example: If two players tie, and Player A had two 4th place finishes, and Player B had only one 4th and one 5th as his highest scores for the season, then Player A would take the spot for year-end results, dropping Player B back one spot.
 
        300 Rounds......400 Rounds.......500 Rounds..........600 rounds...........700 Rounds
1st......$200.00.............$250.00...............$350.00.................$450.00.................$500.00
