Scottish Amateur Golf Tour

20/03/2022

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of info on the page, I’ve been debating whether or not to keep the page open or not, but I’ve decided to keep going until the end of April.

£15 membership (£10 goes towards deposit for tour final, £5 goes towards trophy presentation)

EVERYONE who enters will play in the Tour final

YOU pick the schedule for you, the tour is made up of Open Comps that can be found on golf empire, Scottish golf app/website and various other outlets.

NO minimum number of events, play where you want when you want. As long as you play 1 event you qualify for the tour final.

Accumulative scoring throughout the year, so the more events you play the better your chances of winning tour championship.

Official handicap needed, can be from golf club or Scottish golf app, as long as you have handicap and meet criteria for open comp then you can play.

Anyone interested in joining please contact myself for more information

Cheers, Chris 🏌🏻

Good morning golfers,

Just a reminder that this is the final weekend to join the SAGT, still need 11 members for the tour to go ahead this season, and if nobody nobody is interested the Sadler the SAGT will be no longer running.

Membership is only £15 and guarantees your spot at the tour final event and prize giving ceremony.

Remember, YOU build your schedule, playing where you want, when you want

Come on guys, one last push 🏌🏻

Good morning everyone, as you know, I have been trying to put the SAGT together for the past couple of years, sadly in those two years it hasn’t really take ‘em off due to various reasons, however I did say I would give it one last go.

I have dramatically changed the format of the tour to make it more accessible and affordable for everyone, but there still doesn’t seem to be any interest in people joining.

I have decided to keep membership open until the 28th of Feb, if there isn’t enough members joined by then, Unfortunately that will be the END of the SAGT.

I have put lots of my own time, money and effort into trying to make this a successful tour but sadly that hasn’t been the case as of yet.

The tour needs another 11 members minimum to carry on, so this is officially your 8 day warning to sign up to play in this years SAGT

Good morning golfers

I’ve noticed that there hasn’t really been any interest in joining SAGT and was just wondering why?

What is it that is putting you off?

What can I do to make you more likely to join the tour?

Please give me any feedback at all, positive or negative and work with me to give you what you want

Good morning golfers.

I planned on doing a live last night but due to some issues out with my control I was unable to, so I’ve decided to do this post instead.

The SAGT needs a minimum of 12 players to go ahead, however there is no maximum number of members, the more the merrier.

EVERY member of SAGT will be invited to play in the tour final, with the top 12 competing for the tour championship OOM (think fedex cup and tour championship)

£10 from membership fee covers entry into OOM final event, the other £10 (£5 if payed before end of Feb) goes towards running of tour, prize giving etc

YOU control your schedule, play where you want, when you want, as long as it’s an open competition then it counts towards OOM standings, and no minimum number of events. Simply send SAGT your result and it will be updated.

The best 4 scores will combine to give final OOM standing going into tour final.

No handicap limit, as long as you meet the open events criteria you can play, the SAGT is inclusive to all golfers regardless of ability.

Membership will be open all year round, however, open events won’t be counted unless membership fee is payed. The earlier you join, the more events available.

That’s the main points of the tour, I’ve changed the structure to make it better for players, I’ve kept costs down as low as possible, this isn’t a money making exercise, I’m passionate about the game and want to give regular amateur golfers something competitive to play in all year. I’m sure you will all welcome the chance to travel the country playing competitive golf 🏌🏻

Let’s work together and produce a great SAGT

Thanks everyone

Good evening everyone.

I’m going to be doing a Facebook live video around 10pm tonight to discuss the tour, so if anyone has any questions for me about the SAGT, please feel free to join me or alternatively send them in before hand and I will answer them as best I can 👍

Good evening golfers.

After today’s announcement regarding the way forward for the SAGT, I want to hear your thoughts, are you happy with the changes? Will you be more likely to apply for membership now?

I’ve also created an exclusive members only group on Facebook, which you will be invited to join once membership fees have been paid.

If anyone is interested in paying membership fees then PM me for payment details

Happy golfing 🏌🏻

Good morning golfers. As I said last night it was time for a big announcement. And here it is.

There is a whole new format for the SAGT for 2022.

Over the weekend I worked hard trying to secure venues and sponsorship for the tour, sadly with very little success, so after discussing with a few close friends, I have decided to totally revamp the format for SAGT. And it is as follows.

1. There will be NO organised tour events (except tour final)
2 All O.O.M will be made up solely by Open Comps (found on Golf Empire/happygolf)
3 Tour membership will be reduced to £20 and once paid will give golfers exclusive access to the SAGT clubhouse, a Facebook group for SAGT members.

I feel that this is the best way moving forward to grow the tour as this gives all golfers 100% control of their Schedule, meaning they can pick and choose where/when they play.

The OOM will still run as planned, with the top 12 golfers competing at the tour final for the chance to be crowned SAGT champion.

Good evening everyone hope you are all well

Just jumping in quickly to let you know of big changes for the SAGT which will be announced tomorrow morning at 9am.

Good morning golfers.

I just wanted to copy the following link to show the number of available open events already listed to compete in. As you will see, there are more than enough to choose from, and each and every single one can be counted towards your final O.O.M score for the chance to qualify for the tour final

https://www.golfempire.co.uk/club/scotland-clubs-central.htm

These are booked directly through the host clubs and will be governed by the rules on the day

Good evening everyone.

I’ve had a few messages regarding the membership cost, so I thought it was best to jump on and break it down so there isn’t any confusion or anything.

The £25 membership, allows the tour to run self sufficiently without the need for financial backing from a sponsor, I feel that in the long run this will benefit the tour.

It also allows the tour to discount the cost of events it organises to make them more accessible to more golfers, all tour organised events will include food before and after the round and will be capped at £60 (except tour final)

The membership will also go towards giving you guys the best prize giving at the tour final weekend possible, with an array of prizes on offer throughout the season long order of merit.

Hopefully this clears up any issues people might have had
