To all Golfweek Amateur Tour Members,

 

On behalf of the entire Golfweek organization, I want to thank you for your membership of the Golfweek Amateur Tour.  We are incredibly proud of our relationship with what we feel is the best option for organized amateur competition for folks like you and me. 

 

I am writing to inform you of some changes to our magazine frequency and format for 2021. Our plan is to publish four issues in 2021 including our annual Golfweek’s Best in April and Ultimate Guide in December. In addition to these two issues, we will publish a new issue called Get Equipped in February that will highlight everything new in the game for 2021 including equipment, gear, places to visit and more. The second new issue is titled Golf Life in July and will feature in-depth stories and interviews with the movers, shakers and personalities that drive the business and sport of golf. We are excited about the new schedule and plan to bring the same style of expert, in-depth journalism that you expect from Golfweek..

 

I hope that you also enjoying www.golfweek.usatoday.com as well as our weekly digital newsletter products including: Monday Rewind, Get Equipped, Get Primed, Golf Life and Get Better. You can sign up for these here.

For every Arkansas event (and some regional and other events), you gain points that pave your way to the National Championship in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina at the end of the season.

Play in any Golfweek Tour Event Nationwide
Golfweek Amateur Store credit for logoed merchandise  (50.00)


 How Our Tournaments Work   
When you sign up for the tour, we will place you in a flight (see below) based on your current USGA Handicap Index or by making a determination based on your average scores. During the tournament, you will compete against other players in your flight in a true stroke play event. Prizes are awarded as Visa Gift Cards and winners of each flight receive an etched crystal trophy.

Optional CASH games

You can enter as many or as few of the CASH games as you like (or none).

$40 buy In each tournament ($80 for a two-day tournament ) gets you in all the games.

$20 goes in a skins pool (birdie or better) for each flight (Champ/A. B,C,D)
$10 goes in the Super Skins pool for ALL flights
$10 goes in the Par 3 Challenge 
This event is a cumulative score for all Par 3s for a tournament. The lowest cumulative score on all par 3s wins the flight pot (Champ/A,B,C,D) Ties will split the pot.



 Flight Assignments and Yardages   
Championship Flight: 0-3.9 Handicap Index 6700+ yards 
 A Flight: 4.0 - 8.9 Handicap Index   6500-6800 yards

 Local Tour Points Race and National Tour Finals  Qualification 
Based on where you place in each tournament, you will be awarded points. All participating players receive points no matter where you place in the event. The Season Long Points Winner for each flight will be awarded a special trophy and a free tour membership for the next season. The top 10 in each flight will receive priority invitations to play in the National Finals at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina in October.
