2011 WORLD AM HANDICAP CHAMPIONSHIPS

2011 World Am Handicap Championships

By kickntrue on 4/28/11

You've said for 3 years now how awesome the Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina sounds, and now it's time to act! The World Am will be held this year from August 29th - September 2nd.

Hosted in Myrtle Beach, SC, the World Am, as it is commonly known, is the largest amateur golf event on the globe; attracting over 3,000 golfers of all skill levels from all 50 states and 25 international countries.

The tournament consists of four days (18 holes per day) of individual stroke play golf (net). Players are assigned to and compete within a flight based upon gender, age and handicap index.

In addition, all flight winners and ties advance to a 5th round, 18-hole "Flight Winners Playoff" to determine World Champion.
In addition to golf, the event features four nights of the World's Largest 19th Hole. Players and guests enjoy open bar, food, entertainment, and an interactive golf expo spread across the entire Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

I can honestly say it was the most fun I've ever had golfing. The competition, the camaraderie, the courses and of course the nightly open bar all contribute to an amazing experience.

Last year we had the pleasure of having dinner with a couple SkyCaddie Members in attendance and we'd love the chance to meet even more of you!

Not Convinced Yet?

1) ClubSG handicaps will be accepted by the World Am (if you don't have an official handicap)
2) SkyCaddie Members can use the promo code "sg" and receive $25 off or the early sign-up entry!
3) Your wife probably won't want to come.

Seriously... Find a few buddies- plan the trip and make this happen. You won't regret it!

Entry is only $500 (right now- for early sign-up) for the golf and nightly eating and boozing. Split the gas and hotel costs and you can do the whole thing for less than a grand- the BEST grand you'll ever spend on golf!
