I wanted to post some of this year's upcoming open comps, after noting them for myself the other day, after the Headland Easter weekend. I'm certainly not going to play in them all, but it's nice to know what's coming up and being able to plan for a round. Especially if you are a trophy event slut like A-Lo.
