Welcome To The Tampa Tour

The Tampa Tour is an amateur golf league based in the Tampa Bay Area. Founded by four friends in 2006 on the premise that nothing like it existed, The Tour caters to younger professionals looking for a group of like-minded guys who want an outlet for friendly competition. Friendships naturally develop along the way, as the group focuses equally on camaraderie and competition. The Tour is not affiliated with any particular course, rather choosing to play different courses throughout central Florida, primarily in the Tampa Bay Area, at affordable prices.

The Tampa Tour is run by a small volunteer Executive Committee, who organizes and manages each event, as well as participates and competes. USGA handicapping makes every event competitive for all who play, and prizes reward those who win weekly events as well as those who maintain a level of success over the course of a season through a points based system. The season starts in late winter and runs through the spring and summer, typically wrapping up at the end of summer or early fall. Register with the Tour, and have a look at the Calendar of Events. We look forward to seeing you.

Tampa Cup 2011 RESULTS

It's with great sadness I post the finality to the 2011 Tampa Tour season. Since I’ve been known to talk more than my fair share of smack I decided to let the captain for the Blue team write the actual piece to be posted. With that said here you go:

Congratulations to the Blue team for a 13-7 blow-out!!! Although fairly close following Day 1, the second day proved to be an insurmountable challenge for the Red team. The scores after day 1 matches were Blue team 6 and Red team 4. Day 2 began with Adam and Jason completing a 4 point sweep for the Blue team...Great job guys!! Blue brought home 7 of the 10 available points on Day 2 and one match came down to the final hole as the Red team captain Troy managed to hold off a 5 stroke swing where Matt fell just short of a remarkable comeback on 18. Oh yes, the pairings seem to bring the pressure as some were matched High vs Low and others practically heads up. As you looked around the course you could see the body language spoke volumes. On the course the Red team was simply no match. However, they proved beyond any doubt, they came this weekend to have a good time!! A few Blue team members were up to the challenge but the Red team clearly took the award for the most spirited...at least they were certainly well hydrated! There was plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend no doubt. Even the simplest decisions, such as where to eat, spawned lengthy debates. In the end all of carefully calculated plans did not work out for the Red team as it was the Blue team's strategy that brought home the prize!

Black Diamond Invitational Results

The last stroke play tournament for 2011 is in the books. It's no surprise it was capped off with the hottest conditions imaginable. However, what was a surprise was Mr. Terry Kuhn taking 1st place. The league would like to congratulate Terry on a round well played. It was good enough for the $300 first prize and another $25 by edging out Troy Smith for ctp on hole #13. Second place went to Tim Olcott who seems to be playing well right now considering he was coming off a B flight win at Waterlefe just a week ago. Third place went to Troy Smith who edged out Mr. Drury by making par on hole #3 vs. Adam's double in a scorecard playoff (at least that's the way I understood it from Manny). All in all Black Diamond proved to be everything most of us expected. Some of the scenery is so nice you almost forgot to play golf. It was a good cap to a fine season. Thanks everyone for coming out.
