golf channel AM tour or i-tour

[mapeacock]

i want to play some good tournament golf this season.. golf channel AM tour or i-tour??? what does everyone think.

I played the I-tour a few years ago. Played 5 events, won 1. Their fees have gone up quite a bit since then but so have their payouts. My only gripe was that they always seemed to turn in to all day events. Tee times were always running behind and the play was fairly slow. Then you have to wait around until everyone finishes to see if you won any money on skins, tourney, etc. Its very well run and Ryan Sweat (the organizer) is a great guy. You even get a 1099 at the end of the year for tax purposes. If I was single with no family i would probably still be playing but couldn't justify being away from them for half a weekend.

Played ITour in Dallas now for 7 years and can't speak enough good about it

The rounds can be long, but you are playing for real money. Here in Dallas if you leave the tourney and happen to win something, a check is mailed out that Monday. Figure a 4.5-5hr round. The handicaps are closely watched and updated after each tournament.

Also, if the tee times are 9-10 minutes apart, they will be on time. It's when there are 7-8 minute times you get issues, but a lot of time here in Dallas they give us 3somes for some events.

Has anyone in the DFW area played the Golfweek tour? I'm looking to start playing in some tournys as well and was wanting some opinions regarding specifically the Golfweek tour. Thanks.
