Piggybacking a Tournament Into a Golf Trip

Lance Botthof joins us to break down how he turned Ram's Hill's amateur "Ramateur" tournament into a full-blown group trip — growing it from 4 guys to 12, with welcome parties, meals, and handicap flights all built in.

We cover:
• How the Ram's Hill "Ramateur" tournament works (2 rounds, 3 flights, gross + net)
• Lance's group growing from 4 to 12 people — and aiming for 16 next year
• Welcome party Friday, rounds Saturday & Sunday, all meals included
• Why Borrego Springs Inn is the move when the on-property houses fill up
• Handicap flights and the "over 60 plays white tees" rule
• The Sunday league at The Crossings — $40 buy-in, skins, and no drama
• Side bets, gambling, and why everybody has action with somebody
• Future trip to Sand Valley (and maybe The Lido) next June
• How Lance fills 12 spots in 2-3 days with a single text
• Rating Ram's Hill against other courses he's played
