ORLANDO OPENS 2015 SEASON MARCH 14 AT BLACK BEAR
SENIOR AMATEUR TOUR OPENS 2015 SEASON MARCH 14 AT BLACK BEAR GOLF CLUB
The
Golfweek Amateur Tour will open its 2014 season on March 14 at Black
Bear GC in Eustis. Thirteen tournaments are scheduled on some of the
finest courses in central Florida. “Last year we played a terrific
schedule; this year our lineup is every bit as good” said Tom Mirus,
Tour director. “We will be taking the tour to some new courses this
year. We are playing six courses we did not play in 2014. We are excited
about the coming season. We will again qualify fifty players (10 from
each of the five flights) for the Tour Championship in October. It is
being held in Hilton Head, SC now and the players that made the trip
last year loved it. I am sure competition for the invitations will be
strong again this year. Plus, our players competed for nearly $50,000 in
prizes last year.”
The Golfweek Amateur Tour/Orlando

local tours operating in 30 states and 44 markets with nationwide
