That is right I am looking for a touring buddy to compete with me in tournaments this year and perhaps in years to come. I would perfer someone around my own skill levels perhaps even a little better. There are a couple people that I have played with in a few tournaments that are around the same skill level but they ill not be playing the same tournaments as I am or if they are they will not be on the same courses because of divisions. Below is the list of tournaments I will be playing along with the dates, locations, tiers, and the division I will be playing.
Lumberjack Open (MA2, MA3, MPM, Masters, Jr) March 7th Battle Creek, MI B REC

Nice tour schedule.
Bowling Green has lower divisions. I played Intermediate at Bowling Green last year and enjoyed the courses. I'm not wanting another obelisk as much as maybe Tom is, so I doubt I'll play Bowling Green.
I might make the 'Jack and CCR. CCR is a good tournament. If they are doing the raffle skins final nine, buy a ticket. For a good Italian meal, check out Emils on Michigan Ave in Lansing, Friday night or Saturday night.
I'm not sure when Flip City is having its tournaments this year, hmmm, but www.flipcitygolf.com/events.htm would know. Flip City is about as far as St. Louis and far more worth the drive. Because, once you get to St. Louis, you're in St. Louis! :lol: If you can squeeze the Farm Classic into your schedule, you'll be glad you did. I don't know if that is at Flip and Ludington or what. The Ludington courses are good too.
Farm Classic is a one day tourney at Flip City. MI State Championships play Flip and the Ludington courses - both very good events.
I certainly can't complain about that tour schedule either considering close to half of them I'm running :P
Larry - you can update all of mine (if you want) to B-Tiers because I'm running all of my tournaments this year as AM B's. A couple of them will be Pro B's as well, but the majority will be Pro C (sorry Pro's!)
Mokena is in Joliet?
I thought Mokena was in Morris
You can find Mokena between Minonk and Moline.

The MDGO schedule shows it as two days this year. Might be split weekend. Not sure.
