Thanks, Brian. That was definitely interesting. What I'm concerned about, however, is that I did better on 18 with one disc than I did on the next 9 with all my discs....

Thank you to all who came out to play. Last year when I did this only two players showed up. This year 11 players . I combined Open and Am I then we combined Am II with Novice. Congrats to Billy Joe with a 8 under using a Boss. Congrats to Michael for winning the other division with a smoking -2. Also a congrats to Brad for his 27th Ace on hole 12.  That was fun.  I think a Sunday Bag Tag round would be nice. What do you players want to see ran out there?  I have another idea. A bring your own Doubles partner tournament. One round of best disc, one round of worst disc.  Brian

I am still pretty new to the game, but I think Beck makes a lot of good points. The AM 2 division is where Spencer will play, because he needs to be pushed and last year no juniors did that. As his game improves he will move up the division and then into the next AM level.
When I started playing in CVS two years ago, I really wasn't competative in AM Masters, but by the end of the season, I was at least in the middle of the pack. Last year, by the end of the season, I was more competative and now, as I keep improving, I hope to be competative enough to move up to open after this season. I could play open now and end up in the bottom part of the group most of the time or play in Am Masters and play toward the top. I think it is a balance between being competative and getting your brains kicked in. It is nice to win a little, but the end game is to improve. You also have to learn to play in tournements with your natural game which is a different experience than the casual round. Darrell

My opinion is that the top half of the AM 2 division in the CVS needs to be playing AM 1, so that the true beginners have a division to compete in.  When AM 2 and AM 1 players are shooting with the top 5 Open players, there is a BIG problem.  If we go to an AM 3 division, then there will be those who will bag back so they can "win".  This is why the CVS has had a history of not having an AM 3 division.  Individual tournament directors are open to having this division if they choose.  It is up to the individual director to make this call, so I suggest you speak directly to the tournament director for that event.  I believe all the numbers are listed.   As a Pro Woman, I move to the pro mens division when there are not enough women for a pro division.  No, I don't feel bad for usually being in the last group in that division. I am a better player because I move up to play against better players.  That is what I suggest to anyone who does not have a division to play in.  Challenge yourself.   A big YES to our local players who have stepped up to the Pro division this year.  It will change the way you see yourself as a player in the long run, you will be a better player.  I am SO proud of you, no matter the outcome of your score.

Everyone is really cool except Tom, he has a cracked head.  Michael CVS tournaments are usually  $30 to $40 for Am divisions and even more money for Pro's. It's too bad there is not a AM III or Novice division. A few of the CVS  tournaments will have Am III division but most do not. I think most of the tournaments fill up quickly except Taft. Michael for you, you can play Am II or Am Masters [over forty]. I have played the last two years in Am II and finished 12th and 8th. I hope for a top five finish this year.
