Amateur Golfers of Orlando

I was referred to this group from a gentleman I met through Stracka.com.

They’re an amateur golf league called Amateur Golfers of Orlando who meet every third Sunday of the month. They’ve got about 140 members and have been around for 35 years.

It looks like there’s an annual fee of $34.00 and they only accept the application and payment through postal mail.

I’m not sure if sandbagging is a big concern with these guys, they require proof of your established handicap. Now I guess it really depends on the proof required to see if it’s a concern. If you do not have a handicap, fear not, just estimate what you’d shoot on a Par 72, 6200 yard course.

Their next event is on Sept. 21st at the new Dubsdread. There might be some tee times on Golfnow.com closer to the date that could save you some cash.

This is good timing for me, I’ve been looking for a league to join and now I’ve found one and it’s pretty cheap! :) I don’t know if they get discounted rates but I’m going to check into it.

I’m still looking to start a new league and this should be some good exposure and experience.

Each tournament features a set of side cash games you can take part in.

Par Three Challenge
Gross Skins Game
Net Skins Game
Blind Bogey

I checked the USGA website and it appears that this form of gambling is allowed to amateur players. Here’s the link; Golf Rules.

If you decide to join up, shoot me an email.

I’m also trying to form up a new Orlando Golf League via Stracka.com. If your interested, follow the link above, create an account and join the Orlando Golfers group.

Later folks!
