Golf Channel Amateur Tour - Ottawa, ON

Here is the 2007 schedule for the Golf Channel amateur tour in Ottawa:



The tour provides amateur golfers a professionally organized format in order to compete at the highest possible level. Participants on the tour receive a treatment comparable to what a golfer would get playing on a professional tour. Players are divided amongst six flights based on an initial verifiable handicap Index, and accumulate 'Order of Merit' points based on their finish in each event. These points are used for season-ending prizes as well as a method of qualifying for special events such as the National Championship.

For $30, public players will have access to these championships without being a member of a private club.
