WELCOME TO THE 2013 SENIOR AMATEUR GOLF TOUR
Legacy Golf Links Pre-Season
e-newsletter Summary
Janaury 5, 2013
Welcome to the 2013 Senior Tour:
The 2013 schedule for the Senior Amateur Golf Tour has been posted on-line and is available below. There may be some slight adjustments noted during the next week, but I wanted to get the schedule I had out to you as soon as possible.
Once again, we've got a great line-up of premium courses scheduled and look forward to another year of fun competition with these top-draw venues.
We'll kick the season off with our annual visit to The Legacy Golf Links in Aberdeen on February 2. This is a pre-season event to which I invite both the Golfweek and Senior Tours. Because of that mix, no points will be awarded, but the prize pool is generally one of the largest of the season.
The seniors will enjoy the advantage of playing from one Tee-Box shorter than the "flatbellies".
Historically this event sells out, so if you have interest in playing, I'm taking entries now for roster spots. Just email me or call me to let me know if you want to play.
If you can't make that event, or if you want to wait a couple of weeks for "warmer" temperatures, a second pre-season event will be held at The Golf Club at Longleaf on February 16. This event also has a history of filling up, so one again, give me an early "heads-up" if you want to play at Longleaf.
The regular season will start March 7 at Bryan Park - Players Course in Greensboro with a typical 10:00 AM shotgun start. Points, prizes, and your Tour "goodies" that you purchased with your membership will be distributed at that event.
Early season events always produce a good field and this year should be no exception.
As always, if you have any questions, or need any assistance, please call me at 336-495-6556, or email me at behgolf@aol.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
2013 Senior Amateur Schedule is Here:
EARLY SIGN-UP DISCOUNT
As I have done for the last few years, I am extending an Early Sign-Up Discount to any member who would like to sign-up for the season prior to January 15. The normal membership dues are $85.00, if you pay by January 15th, I will offer a $10.00 discount, resulting in an $75.00 annual membership fee.
I'm not "selling" here - there are substantial expenses incurred before the start of each season and I will provide this discount to anyone who wants to help me with these costs. No problem if you prefer to wait until your first event, at which time the membership cost will be the normal annual fee - your call.

The Legacy Golf Link, a scenic course and a delight to all who play, is the host for the first tournament of the 2013 season.
"We hear a lot of, 'I shot my best score here,' from golfers," said Legacy's head professional, "but it is not a walk-over by any means." Most of you played here last year and can come back for redemption.
In designing The Legacy, Jack II worked with Jim Lipe, a long-time lead designer with Golden Bear Design whose credits include Williamsburg National. In the summer of 2000, Jack II became president of Golden Bear Design.
There are NO houses anywhere in sight of the course. "Golfers like it because they feel they are out there in the woods with nothing but themselves and the golf course." The heavily wooded land parcel with several large lakes meandering through it afforded Nicklaus ample opportunities to sculpt holes with scenic vistas through the pines.
The site, which includes four lakes and connecting streams, was once a farm where catfish were harvested. Water comes into play on no less than 12 holes including all four par 3s, none of which measures over 191 yards from the tips.
Come gauge your competitive golf game and sign-up early for this tournament as both the GolfWeek and Senior Tour players from the 3 cities play and it is a perrenial sell out.
To register and to sign-up to play, call or email Bruce at 336- 495-6556 or behgolf@aol.com.

"Improve your golf mental toughness 10-fold"
Every golfer has heard the saying "It's all in your head" or "Golf is 90% mental" or "Golf is the most mentally demanding sport in the world." Yet what do golfers do about it? Well, most often absolutley nothing! Not necessarily because they don't want to, but sometimes golfers actually think the mental game doesn't matter to them!
Click Here to Unlock Your Mind and Shoot Better Golf
EVERY golfer can benefit from increasing their mental toughness and harnessing the full power of thier mind!
Many golfers naively get stuck into thinking that the mental game only matters for elite players or pros who make a living golfing. Nonsense! EVERY golfer needs to use their mind properly.
It is your mind that determines how well you learn when taking lessons. (and this training course is packed with accelerated learning techniques that will have you absorbing more from lessons)
It is your mind that will allow you to set up to the ball correctly and commit to your swing (or not!).
It is your mind that will either stay focused under pressure and get you to make a smooth, fluid stroke when you need to drain an 8 footer for the win, or have you choking like a dog and collapsing like a house of cards when the heat is on!
"When you have a chance to shoot the lowest score of your life you won't choke - You Will Go Low!"

Where Will You Be in the Year-Ending Point Standings Race?
There are only two ways to get to the year ending National Tournament - win one of the four majors or be one of the Top 10 point earners in your flight.
As you plot your tour schedule, be cognizant of the fact, only the top 10 are guaranteed access. Usually, most flight races are tight and depends on how well you play and of course how many tour dates you participate in during 2013.
Do you know how many tournaments you will need to play and what place you will need to finish in each tournament to ensure you have your automatic invitation?

TTour Weather Guidelines
Primarily, we adhere to the same guidelines that the PGA Tour uses: If the course is open, we're going to play.
The only exception to this is that I'll never put any of you in harm's way during an event because of dangerous weather. (i.e. - lightening or severe cold and wetness).
In other words, I won't let the course "bully" us into playing where an unsafe condition might exist.
Because I arrive at every event at least two hours prior to the start time and I generally have to leave my house at least an hour before that to get to the course, there is no sense calling me just before the event, because I won't be at the office. The best avenue to take is to call the course if the weather seems threatening.
If you are on the roster for the event, and you do not get a cancellation notice from the course after calling them, you are expected to show up in time for the scheduled shotgun start.
