Welcome to the Dakotas Tour for 2012!!
As you view our schedule for 2012 you will notice a few differences. First, a brand new Major event held at Paradise Valley CC in Casper, Wy. and will replace the Minot, ND tour stop. We want to welcome Bruce Johnston and his staff to the tour.
You will also note that the opening event of the season will be held at Westward Ho CC in Sioux Falls and will be expanded to a two-day tournament. For those that played in their event last year, you know they throw a great tournament and promise that this year's event will be even better.
We have two new tournament directors to welcome to the tour for 2012.
Ken Bramhall is now at Marshall Golf Club in Marshall, Mn., replacing Alan Lucht and Sean Riley is at Hillcrest CC in Yankton, SD., replacing Pat Kramer. We want to thank both Alan and Pat for their long service to the Tour and welcome Ken and Sean.
Online registration for the 2012 season will begin on April 1 for the 40 exempt players from the 2011 season. April 15 will be the date registration may begin for new members and non-exempt players.
Please join us for the 2012 season. If you have any questions please contact Dennis Chandler at chandler@usd.edu or call 675-9145

READ WHAT GOLF WORLD HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE DAKOTAS TOUR
(Golf World, )
Golfers
don't come to the Dakotas Tour to get rich. They come to learn shots and
strategies, to both forget and remember. "I'm not making any money, but
I'm living a dream," says Amos Rolon, a 52-year-old from Arizona, in his
seventh year in the Dakotas. Rolon sells recreational vehicles most of the year
and travels in one along the tour with his girlfriend, Cindy Krueger, two
Rotweilers and a 13-year-old African gray parrot called Kirby. "He says
?Fore,' " Rolon says, "and I'm trying to teach him to say, ?Pick it
up, that's good.' " read more
