The Golf Galaxy Golf Tour, a “Real Tour for the Average Golfer”, will be in full swing this weekend with the first tournaments for three of its tours, and the second and third for others. The tour is designed to give average golfers the opportunity to experience the fun, friendly competition of tournament golf at a variety of great local courses.
The D.C./Baltimore Tour is heading to Maryland National Golf Club; Kansas City (MO) will be at Drumm Farm; Ft. Myers tees up at Magnolia Landing; Nashville will kick it at Pine Creek; and Gulf Coast (Houston) tames Cypresswood.
All tournaments are two-person team format events played on Saturdays and are open to men, women, and juniors who normally score 95 or less for 18 holes. Players receive merchandise payouts (in the form of Golf Galaxy gift cards) to maintain amateur status. The tour offers more than $1,000 in prizes (with full-field) per event and a per event point system that crowns a “Player of the Year”.
New for 2008 is the Callaway Golf Tour i Series Golf Ball Challenge. With this program, it adds a $500 bonus ($250 per player) for the overall winning team if they register and play the new Callaway Golf Tour i Series golf ball.
Although there are no mandatory membership fees or dues, players may upgrade to “VIP” status and receive discounts on tournament entry fees, Golf Galaxy Golf tour logo’d merchandise, great products from Callaway Golf and other valuable golf offerings.
