  • I want to join the tour, but...

    I have a SkyTrak, TGC, and the golf bug big time. However, for the life of me, I cannot find directions on how to join the TGC tour. I saw that the Honda Classic is open, and I wanted to play. I tried "Play Tour" and it showed me a few different tours on the main screen, but I didn't see TGC tour. I selected "All Tours", but it was blank. I the tried"Play Tournament" and I didn't see the Honda Classic there, and again, went to "All Tournaments" and it was blank.

    I even searched "How to join the tour" and didn't find anything helpful. Could someone please give this noob a shove in the right direction? Thanks in advance...

    OK, I found some directions that refer me to golfsimulatortours.com, and I go there, but I select "sign in" and "join the tour" and it just send me back to golfsimulatorforums.com. What the heck am I missing?

      I agree, it's a little confusing..... if you sign in here...... you are signed in there......... The sign in there........ is for people who have never been here. That's why you are directed here. I know.....I though it was broken at first.

    Here are the Tour Rules and Guidelines:

    Purpose To offer an online league format that facilitates all that we enjoy about playing the Sport of Golf. To make Tournament settings on each round that compare


    Lotta info in there but this may be the key quote for you, "No need to sign up, just play in the posted events."

    So in the TGC interface be sure and set that filter to Public Competitions at the end of this string:
    "HOW TO PLAY -
    From the main menu select PLAY-> PLAY TOURNAMENT -> ALL TOURNAMENTS -> SET FILTER TO PUBLIC COMPETITIONS"

    Then pick the exact named course from the menu that is listed in the instructions: "PGA National Honda Classic Sat."

    Once you're on the tee you're playing in the tournament. But! If you want your scores to count, be sure and have shot recording turned on:

    Shot Recording is a Tournament feature. In order to use shot recording you must have a tournament user profile. Play at least 1 live tournament event or official Q


    Have fun!

      Thanks so much for THAT info! And here I had played 5 rounds thinking that would give me my tour handicap. Guess I'm off to Q School!

      Toolman6000 You can find them in the same place that the weekly tour events are located in TGC. PLAY-> PLAY TOURNAMENT -> ALL TOURNAMENTS -> SET FILTER TO PUBLIC COMPETITIONS and look for TGC Q-School Tour Event and TGC Q-School Tour Major. The Tour Event is 2 rounds at Bethpage and the Tour Major is 3 rounds at Magnolia National. Have fun and we'll see you at the 19th Hole.
