CT Amateur Golf Tour host Competitive GOLF TOURNAMENTS for GOLFERS of ALL Ability Levels.
CT Amateur Golf Tour holds tournaments twice a week. The CT AM Tour will typically play a private golf club during the week and a public golf course on the weekends. I monitor the weather very closely and if the weather looks like it’s going to be an all day rain event I normally reschedule the tournament to a later date.
-
We score using the stableford point system, you receive points per hole. This way you are playing the golf course NOT the other members. We also have a stroke play division for lower handicappers.
-
The members with the highest point totals at the end of the tournament gets paid in CT AM Tour Credits. usually the top 6 to 8 in each division. In most cases we DO NOT give out pro shop credits, our credits can be used to enter your next tournament and will cut down on the cost of golf. If you win $100 and the next tournament is $100 you’re playing for free.
-
We have 2 divisions in the net portion of each tournament. The “A” division consists of golfers with an 11 handicap and below. The “B” division consists of golfers with a 12 handicap and above. We will have two separate payouts and one more payout for our member with the low gross score for each tournament.
-
We also have a STROKE PLAY division – This division is ONLY for “A” division golfers. NO strokes are given for this portion of our tournaments.
-
We have two separate FED EX points races for Net and Stroke play results. We award points exactly the way the PGA Tour awards their players after each and every tournament.
-
During our weekend events if you’re a senior member age 64 or older and in the “A” division you always have the option to play from the forward tee’s. You must let us know before you tee off as your handicap will adjust accordingly.
-
We take great pride in keeping our pace of play at a reasonable rate. Our CT. Chapter averages 5 hours on the weekends and 4 hours during our weekday events. We practice ready golf. Rounds will take a little longer than your average round with your friends as this is tournament play and should be treated as such. They’re are NO gimmies, you MUST putt everything out. The “B” division always has the option to pick their ball up when they reach a net stableford zero. If an “A” player picks their ball up with out putting out they are disqualified from the low gross portion of our tournament however they are still competing in the NET stableford portion of our tournament.
-
You must make sure to wear proper golf attire. If you arrive at a tournament wearing NON approved golf attire you will be disqualified from that days tournament.
-
YOU MUST have a valid USGA handicap index to be able to compete for the prize credits. You can definitely still play in our tournaments and participate in the LOW GROSS side bet ONLY. Once you obtain a USGA handicap index you become eligible for all aspects of our tournament play.- We offer 5 side bets at each event which are paid out in cash. Gross Skins ($10), Net Skins($5), Zero Pool($5), Closest to the pin($5) & Low Gross for the day($10). All side bets will be explained at your first tournament.
-
You will switch score cards at the first hole, someone not in the same cart as your riding in, and you will keep track of their score and you will also write down your score on the bottom of the card. After your round you are required to come right in to the club house and sign and attest your score card. You are NOT allowed to go out to the parking lot with your score card.
