2011 GSGT Tour Champion

The Grand Strand Professional Golf Tour completed the 2011 season with this week with the Tour Championship at the Grande Dunes Members Club.  The course could not have presented a better challenge for the Tour Championship qualifiers as the conditions added to the difficulty of the course.  As a fitting end to the season, the hottest player on tour, Yoshio Yamamoto ties yet another course record on his way to victory.  Yoshio Yamamoto took a commanding lead……….Click to continue reading and see complete Scoreboard.

From the Desk of Steve Clark:

Guys,

I want to say what a privileged it was this year to have all of you that played the tour.  This was by far one of the most pleasurable seasons for me thanks to all of the hard work of Tony Lunsford and Will Schatz.  It is unfortunate that we will loose both for next year with Will moving to St. Louis, MO and Tony taking on a more active role at Barefoot Resort.

Many of you have asked about the start of the 2011-2012 Winter Series.  All I can tell you at this point is that I will be evaluating the Winter series over the next few weeks.  I will need to find someone to take over Tony’s role as the Tour Director which is not an easy task!  If the Winter series does take place, it will not start until Mid-November and run through February 2012.

I will also be working on some changes for the 2012 Season that will benefit the Tour as well as the players and the community.  If all works as planned, the Grand Strand Golf Tour could become the premier Mini Tour on the southeast coast.

In closing, I want to wish all of you who are going to the PGA Q-School the best of luck. May God bless all of you in your quest to fullfil your dreams!

God Bless,
Steve Clark
Managing Partner

First we want to thank you for your patience.  We have been working tirelessly with our web support to make navigation through the web site and registering for events easier for the 2011 and future seasons. The website will also be more user friendly to those of you using Blackberry’s and other hand held devices. The look of the website is going to be different until we can get all of the old graphics moved to the new site.

Here is an update of some of the changes and things that are remaining the same:

-The GSGT is still one of the most affordable mini tours to compete on.

Membership:  $100 – Spring/Summer Series
Entry fees will be:

1-Day     2-Day
$180     $350  Professionals – Member
$95      $180  Amateurs – Member

$240   $410  Professional – Non-Member
$145   $230 Amateur – Non-Member

(Some events may be slightly higher due to seasonal course cost.)
(Major Events are restricted to Members Only)
The first event for 2011 will be the traditional Pro-Pro Championship.  It will be held at Myrtle Beach National, Kings North G.C. on March 21st-22nd.

2011 Schedule Now Available.

MEMBERSHIP is NOT required to play GSGT events.  However, non-members will pay a premium to play on the Grand Strand Golf Tour.  Non-Members are also required to pay for events in advance by on-line payment.  If a player intends to play (2) or more events, it is to his financial advantage to become a member.  Also, Non-Members are not eligible to play in GSGT major events such as the Tour Championship and do not receive credit for events played as a non-member.  Players that register and play as a non-member will NOT be credited any moneys toward membership at a later date.

Membership should be paid online prior to the event Early deadline in order to receive member credit for that event. Click on the MEMBERSHIP SIGNUP link above and follow that instructions.  Once you have paid for the membership, you will be re-directed to a membership form.  Please complete the required fields to avoid registration issues.

Membership Advantages:

All Players must register on line for events.  Call in entries will not be excepted for the 2011 and future seasons.  This will eliminate basic human error.  We have been working hard to make this process easier on the players and us as the owners.  Without getting too much into the logistics of this process, when a player registers it will be automatically transferred to all the programs needed for scores, tee times, and money collected to make every event a success.

-Players must have competed in 5 events for the 2011 season to qualify for the season ending Tour Championship. This encourages players to continually compete on the GSGT throughout the year, which leads to bigger fields and bigger purses.  The Tour Championship will have added money from the membership funds collected throughout the year which will be a great end to a hopefully a great year.
