I am 18 yrs old and wanted to join the pga ameteur tour or any pga tour. What is preffered for my age group?

Question

at my course the par is 71 and on average i shoot a 78. is that good enough to join or should i wait till i am under par every time and what are some of the prices to join certain tours

Answer 1

well, if you playing a round 78 you need to bring it down at lease 6 strokes. the mini tour golfers shoot at lease 74 and the golfers on nationwide tour they are a 2 handicap. these tours base upon your handicap and not much on your age.

Answer 2

There is no PGA amateur tour. Your state golf association is in charge of all tournaments run on the state level where amateurs may compete. Averaging 7 over par won't make it. But contact them through your club, get the schedules and go watch a couple where competitors are in your age bracket or younger. Now, if you can beat those scores you may have a chance to enter. If not, devote hours to practicing all facets of your game until you can match the results of the better golfers.

Answer 3

I would like to do the same but i am going to try college golf first. The thing is most tours won't let you even try to qualify unless your handicap is below a 2. If i were you i would try getting my scores down to the mid to high 60's and try to monday qualify for the nationwide tour. That tour provides a great starting place if you want to get to the pga
