As a golfing company we try to keep track of the amateur
tours and associations in Florida. There are many local
Florida golf associations and golf tours where the average
golfer can feel like a PGA pro.
With most of these golf associations catering to golfers
with medium to high handicaps, any Florida golfer can join
and not have to worry about how good or bad they are. We all
know how tough it is to make it on the PGA, but there is a
way to become a Florida tour player.
Florida amateur golf associations and tours do not require
golfers to carry a pro card, but many will require a GHIN
handicap or a handicap that was kept by their home course.
This information is for the purpose of placing the Florida
golfer into the correct flight.
Each amateur golf association will have different rules,
but most tend to be similar in structure. To keep play fair
there are different flights set up for different handicaps.
Usually there are A Flights, B Flights, C Flights, and D Flights,
but this could vary from tour to tour.
The fees are collected for membership and also each tournament
played in. Not all Florida amateur golf associations require
an annual membership, but this membership will give the players
more benefits and discounts for tournaments. Membership fees
will range anywhere from $100.00 to $150.00 depending on the
benefits of membership. The tournaments will range anywhere
from $60.00 to $100.00 dollars for a one day event, and $200.00
to $250.00 for a weekend event.
Prize money is usually paid out in the way of gift certificates
and merchandise because of legal issues, but there could be
a few renegade associations that might pay out in cash. Beware
of these associations but to legal problems you could be involved
in.
When choosing a Florida amateur golf association or tour
to play on, one should look at how the flights are set up,
how prize money is paid out, if sandbaggers are allowed to
play without an established handicap, and which courses the
events will be played on.
Here is a list of the more popular Florida amateur golf associations
