Saw the advert for this in last months mag. Looks like they play comps on some fine courses. Just wondering if anyone had attended one and if so what was the set up like?
I see that 24 handicappers can play, strange.
Thought the Nike tour was a pairs event ?
They ran a pairs event and a singles matchplay as well as the 'Tour' of singles events.
Cheers fellas. All looks pretty good so far - anyone fancy any of the days?
Doon, re the handicap thing, most of the events I've looked at have been won by guys in single figures, obviously with the odd exception. Somewhat less concerned about severe banditry on this tour compared to others.

At lot of the really good value opens are for cat 1 golfers, max handicap for the silver trophy is 5 so most of us wouldn't ever get close to a great deal like that. Sunningdale have an open for less than 2 and that's a bargain.I'd do some scouting before forking out for this tour mate. It's a huge whack of cash because there is no subsidy from the hosting club.
Look to see if the club or the county union hold an event there first - they will be heavily subsidised
For example: St Georges Hill was circa £180 with EAGT. The Silver Trophy (over 25s) was £80 including lunch & dinner!!!!
Obviously, this doesn't apply to all the courses available.
Are any of these events cheaper than what you would pay if you tipped up paying a full green fee, looks really expensive to me.Cheers fellas. All looks pretty good so far - anyone fancy any of the days?
