As indicated in the February NTRA Newsletter, which came out today, the Tour will hold an online contest for Tour Members only on March 1st. Three qualifying spots for NHC X will be up for grabs. The cost to enter and other details will follow shortly, but the basic proposition is that the $125 fee to become a Tour Member will be incorporated in the cost of entering the contest. In other words if, as I anticpate, the cost to enter the March 1st contest is set at $125, your actual cost to enter the contest will be zero, since you become a Tour Member just by virtue of entering the contest. If the cost to enter the March 1st contest is set at $225, your actual cost would only be $100, and so forth. In my perhaps somewhat prejudiced view, the bottom line is that the March 1st contest is likely to be a very good deal for Tour Players, no matter how you slice it.
