2013 Spring Tour Season Opens

After a hard northern winter, the weather is finally showing some promising signs which means the tour season is just around the corner. Though I am one of those who spend a good portion of my winter honing my own golf skills in Florida, the addition of close to 20 new tour members has got me excited and glad to be back up north.  By the way, I did record my 3rd career hole in one this winter, but it's time to put the sticks away and get this season off the ground.

The first event of the year, the Terry Hills Spring Classic, is set for April 28th.  Registration for this event closes at midnight, next Sunday, the 21st so now's the time to register.  One of the more popular events on the schedule, Terry Hills Golf Course is not long but provides a fun test of skills and the flight winners usually have to battle some interesting weather elements to capture their crown. 

We've seen registration for the 2 Day Majors reach unprecended levels with the majority sold out.  If you still have a desire to compete in any of them, I suggest you get on the waiting for that particular event soon.  A good number of the golfers that are on the waiting lists, get an opportunity to play though contact for an opening could be relatively last minute. You won't be charged the registration fee until you are officially entered into the field.

The National Champonships this year are being held at PGA West at the LaQuinta Resort near Palm Springs, California with the Open Championships scheduled for Sept. 22 - Sept. 25, and the Senior Championships scheduled for Sept. 28 - Oct. 1.  The Nationals are an awesome experience that many of our tour players will attest to.  So plan your summer accordingly, there are a number of ways that you can qualify (see the Players Handbook on line).

I sincerely hope to see you at the Terry Hills Spring Classic.
