The 2023 Myrtle Beach World Amateur Tournament

Interesting!

I'm usually a pants guy. But after seeing all the shorts making there appearance in the MBWA pictures, I ordered some shorts and going to play in them before the Am. Just so I don't blind anyone down there.😎

I guess it's true the older you get the more like a kid you act!

Glad to hear it!

As I posted, I am flying in Saturday the 26th @ 2pm. Pickup my rental and check in at the Marriot Sheridan Convention Center, staying till the following Saturday. My men's league finals in Colorado are on the following weekend 36 hole 2 day final. No excuse not to be ready!

Then going to head up to PGA Superstore and check in for the MBWA. Going to hit the market on the way back and grab some supplies for the week. Sparkling flavored water, Protein and energy bars and some grass fed butter for my morning Bullet proof coffee(us old timers need that brain shot in the morning)!

It's a long way off but if you decide to come in on Saturday we should hookup for dinner.

So I believe that the count is up to 4 for the Saguto Academy.

And I also ordered some Saguto Polo's, like I said the logo works on multi levels for having the initials ST!

I would do the nickers and the socks. Throw in one of them hats with the ball on top too!

FYI.

I now have my reservations at the Sheraton at the convention center.

I played in the Sunday skins round. It was scratch and if I remember correctly the Pro at the course clubhouse did the scoring for the skins.

During the actual tournament you will be flighted and you stay in that flight for all four rounds. In our flight, one of the participants came around and asked if anyone wanted to be in the skins. I paid $100 to be in for all four rounds. $25 per round per player and we had about 50 people in our flight. I don't know how many of them got in the skins. On the last day I birdied a par 5 and it stood up for a skin. There were only 4 skins that day and they paid out at $685 each. It was also scratch. Everyone plays from same tees during the four round tournament. I can't remember if everyone played from the same tee during the Sunday round. I never expected a birdie on a par 5 would hold up, but just goes to show you never can tell. That's why I always get in a skins game if there is one.

Thanks Ron,

I was just wondering about the Sunday round because I take it we will not be flighted like in the tourney with players in the same age group and handicap I'm guessing. And was wondering what the 1 day skins was, and from what you tell me it is like in my league. I was thinking it was skins within the foursome. So cool on the whole flight I'm guessing probably around $25.

Think it is a smart deal and well worth the extra fee to be in the skins during the tourney, because you are within your competitive group, you never know what holds and what doesn't.

Thanks for the response.

Steven

I don’t have any other people to partner with at this time.

Okay,

plenty of time, just wanted to let you know not a big deal if you end up with a friend.

Got it thanks Tom

Thanks Ron,

Also I did confirm, you should get a referral credit if you go in 24, it did show your name as referral in registration.

Any thoughts on the VIP? Or is that something new?

I would like to see about playing but that 2 pm tee. But I am getting there on Saturday and maybe help me get more acclimated to schedule change for the week. As I am usually out cold by 2 pm. Probably a good idea. So I am going to give them a call to day.

Thanks for everything.

Heritage is a very nice track down here in Pawleys Island. I think you'll enjoy it. You may even catch a glimpse of a gator or two...

By the way, Steven, the ball carries much differently here at sea level than it does a mile up. Be ready for that. It may necessitate an extra club or even two depending on how high you hit it.

😮🤣

Funny you mentioned that. I was thinking just yesterday, I'm glad going to have all season to get better and fine tune some more, getting distances dialed in. I went to Ocean City, MD in 2019 and remembered before I went the difference.

Most likely end up being 2 clubs because the Ping G425's are a higher launch then my G25's that I had in Ocean City. And there was usually 1 club but wasn't all that humid when I went, just real windy on the ocean.

Yep a mile lower and way more humidity, definitely 2 clubs!

Hopefully will get a chance to see you there one of those days.

@Ronald Burkholder @Tom Saguto

Fight, hotel & rental car booked. Arriving Saturday the 26th departing the 2nd. Staying at the convention center. So far just me, not going to miss this!

Just have to wait for registration to open tomorrow!

Do my best to represent Saguto Golf Academy! And hopefully meet all the others that will make the trip!
