  • Newbie Tour?

    I feel like this was discussed a while back.. but with probably 95% of folks on here having years of golfing experience and a very low handicap, has there been consideration in anyone starting/setting up a league for folks who are new to golf but got bit by the bug early and have a sim? I would love to have a group to play courses with regularly who are also new to the sport and are (obviously) a very high handicap...

    I wish there is a par3 only tour.

          i suck, so i'm interested. what exactly is Q school?

            Q school is qualifying school. Play these events to establish a tour handicap before playing the tour events. You need to play 5 rounds (q school or live events) in order to get your tour handicap. Without a tour handicap your handicap will be set to 0.0 until you played 5 rounds.

              thanks @ProTee United
              so, do I have to make an account at TGCtours website to do the q-school to establish a handicap? instructions are not very clear to me... but i've been on-call and am pretty tired right now so may have missed something.

              Just start playing. You will auto-enroll after you finished your first Q-school or live event round and will find your name listed on the tour site.

            I would like to do this. I tried doing q school but don't see my information posted. Any help?

            thx

              Any thoughts on making this not just a handicap based tour, but a short hitters tour as well?

              I'm not sure where my handicap sits, but I'd be interested. Hitting driver 190-210 is getting frustrating haha.

                Really enjoyed magnolia par 3 course. Missa pin on the short side is death, go for the middle of the green gives some very difficult putts, no hole over 140y though.

                  I'm in. While I usually shoot mid 80s to mid 90s I just finished q school and my sim handicap is 36!!! Still getting chipping and putting down. Would be nice to have this tour to play on while I work on getting that HCP down.

                    Is your hdcp 36 because of scores or because you don't have shot recording turned on?

                • #26
                  wbond I’m not sure what shot recording does. I’ve read about how it’s required for other tourneys as well as no boost (I have 10% boost to driver and 8% firnirons to get close to actual distances. I got my HC by playing 5 events in Q school. Putting and chipping is what really killed my HC. 4 and 5 pitts we’re not uncommon. Still trying to get the hand of sim putting.

                    Hi Tytow. I'm one of the guys that runs the tour.

                    Shot recording allows us to make sure no one is cheating. That's why no one with shot recording off gets a handicap.

                    As for boost, 5% is the max so if you want to play in the events, set it to 5% please.

                      The more you play and get used to swinging indoors, your distances will gradually return to your normal. I was same way when I started. Boosted everything the 5% but then after awhile I moved them down to 3% for certain clubs.
