Tour Championship - Kishwaukee Country Club

Well we are coming up on our last tournaments of the inaugural season of America's Golf Tour. The Tour Championship will finish off the season with a new twist. Not only will we have a two day championship to crown our tour champion but we will also have two - one day tournaments for those of you who can't make both days. Our goal is to give everyone a chance to play one last tournament with America's Golf Tour this year. A player who is entered in the tour Championship may also participate in the one day tournametns for an additional $75 each day.
 
With 20 golfers our Tour Chammpion will earn $1200 for their efforts. If you are an Amateur your winnings will be limited to $750 per the USGA rules for Amateur play. While first place with 20 players can earn the Tour Champion $1200 for their weekend the player finishing last in the money will earn $395 provided there are no ties for that position.
 
We know that the weather is starting to cool off but we have a unique experience being able to play Kishwaukee Country Club on a weekend. With this private country club you will get to play one of the oldest courses here in Illinois and experience golf like the shot makers of old use to play. While there are long holes this tree lined golf course will make you think about the risk and reward with many shots throughout your round. Kishwaukee just opened their state of the art practice facility that you will have access to before each round to warm up along with their driving range.
 
Kishwaukee has held the Illinois Senior State Championship in its recent past and has always proven to be a fair challenge to golfers of all lengths and abilities. We are working with membership on practice rounds for you and will let you know the details soon. While DeKalb is within driving distance of Chicago, but if you need a hotel room there are several in the DeKalb and Sycamore area with St. Charles within 25 miles.
 
We at America's Golf Tour look forward to having everyone come out and experience a great course and the Tour Championship. With 1000 points up for grabs to this champion you could still earn enough points to qualify for a 2010 America's Golf Tour membership!
 
Register today for your chance to be the first Tour Champion in America's Golf Tour history. Do forget about our one day tournaments as well. Register for the Kishwaukee Net Championship on Oct 10 and the Kishwaukee Open on Oct 11 too.

Richmond and Stefanich lap the field at Where to Play Golf Open

September 10th was a beautiful day on the course and for Steve Richmond and Jim Stefanich it was smokin hot. Steve shot the low tournament round with a one under net 71 and Jim added an even par net 72. Throughout the day they did what good teammates do by picking each other up as they fired a net 59 in America's Golf Tour first team event.
The lead for Steve and Jim was only 2 shots at the turn, but starting on the 10th hole it was lights out from there. They went three under on the first three holes of the back nine to take a 5 shot lead and kept their games under control the rest of the way.
Check out all of the results here and see how they brought Stonewall Orchard to its knees as a team.

New Lower Prices For You!

We at America's Golf Tour have been watching the economy over the first 6 months of this year and have been amazed at how bad the economy has continued to get worse. I have been reading many blogs and social networks where they're saying that in order for golf to survive, major changes need to take place and fast.

 
With that said we at America's Golf Course would like to announce major changes in Memberships and Tournament Entry prices. Starting immediately we are lowering membership prices to as low as $15 for our Bronze Membership to as high as $297 for our Platinum Membership.
 
Tournament costs will now range between $125 to $160 depending on the course that we are playing. The tournament costs will be $75 now with $55 going toward the prize fund and $20 going for administrative fees.
 
The First place guarantee will remain in effect even though we are reducing the price for our players. We will give up to 5 times your entry fee with 40 or more players. However we will no longer pay the last place money winner their entry fee back.
 
We will continue this pricing for as long as the economy stays in the tank. Our goal is to make tournament golf affordable for everyone yet still give you more money than other tours.

Ty Collins Wins His First of Season

Ty collinswins his first tournament of the seas Thursday at Stonewall Orchard carding a 1 under net 71 to win by 2 strokes over Tim Bermann. When asked what the key to his victory was, Ty said; "I stayed away from the multiple triple bogies at this tournament." Looking at his scorecard we see that is true. Ty didin't have one triple bogie and this was his key to success. 

Tim Bermann had a strong tournament firing a 1 over net 73 to take second place to round out the top 30% of the field. You can view all of the results here for the Stonewall Orchard Open.
