July 27, 2020

Fun new challenge and $$$ awaits with storm on horizon!

SEATTLE  – As week seven of our 10-week online golf simulator competition closes and we inch closer to the $10,000 USD grand prize, we’re seeing some fierce competition amongst our participants. This week, Bob Shepard did exceedingly well in our floating green Closest to the Pin event, coming within 2.65 ft of the pin for the $1,000 USD prize. Nearest competitors Rachid and Blyden came in at 4.22, and feet 5.37 feet respectively. Congratulations!

But hold onto your hats! Week eight’s competition features a Closest to the Pin event in a windstorm! We’ve had excellent participation in the tournament to date, and have enjoyed finding new ways to challenge our participants. This stressful event is staged on hole three of Whistling Straits (pictured below), the host venue for the 2021 Ryder Cup.  Click the image to hear Luke Elvy commentate the challenge!

Why watch golf pros compete online or on TV when you can be in the game to WIN the game? From the inception of aG Tour, our golf simulator tournaments were made for you and your family – not the pros. It’s free to enter, and you can play on any aG golf simulator with an internet connection.

Like you, most of us have been stuck in our homes, and are feeling distanced not only from friends and family but also the hobby and passion we hold dear to our hearts. And a $1,000 USD or even $10,000 USD grand prize winner’s check doesn’t hurt either!

Register to play today! To join now just download the free aG Locker App to find a simulator near you!  For complete details on competition formats, amazing worldwide courses from Tuscany Reserve to Texas Tour to Whistling Straits, and aG’s rules and regulations, check out the aG Summer 2020 Tour Page (https://www.aboutgolf.com/agtour).
