I am a + 2 handicap competitive amateur that is thinking of turning pro, but have to get better first
Any advice on the best courses near glendale that have good practice facilities - would let me play/practice for cheap?
I've looked at arrowhead, wigwam, estrella, raven at varrado - these look like the closest to my place.
Also would be very interested in those weekly skins games yellowjaket was mentioning. Those still up and running and how easy is it to get in those games? I was thinking of playing a few Pepsi tour events too.
whats up man, i was in ur same a year ago when i moved out here. i was home in montana for the summer caddying, jus got back to phx a couple weeks ago. the courses u mentioned are all decent public tracks, nothing amazing but they have a range and thats all u really need.
the mountain shadows skins game is still running and still solid. played lastweek for the first time in awhile and they had about 40ish guys. itll cost u 72 bucks for the skins, gross and cart. usually 5 or 6 under wins gross for a couple hundred and u basically have to make a hole in one for a skin. those 500ish unless theres a carry over. very good value imo and a fun track to go play with ur buddies.
ive played about 20 or so pepsi tour events thus far and to be honest they are nothing special. the buyins add up after awhile and u have to go pretty low to win. the only way to make any money is booking wins. but theres nothing gets u better than playing tournaments so id say if ur feeling good about ur game go ahead and give some a shot. u def get the chance to play some sweet courses vs. solid competition.
if u get here and find urself on ur A game id suggest looking into the arizona series on the gateway tour. 100k g prize pools so if u can put it together for 3days then ur looking at a very nice pay day. they have a qualifier to get free entries in january at troon north, i would def recommend playing. well hope i helped u a little bit and if u have any other questions ill try to help. also if u ever wanna tee it up i can get on some nice tracks let me knw
