What course is the tournament on, and what do you usually throw on that course? It shouldn't be hard to find past events on that course and see where you would have placed in those events shooting your average.

Your numbers mean very little because we don't know which tournaments you selected but obviously which division you play in has a lot to do with your local competition, and North Carolina has a lot of 1000+ players.
Largely it depends on what your goals are. Do you want to keep winning Am tournaments for the thrills and merch, or do you want to maybe cash in Pro and continue to try and play at a higher level? Also, beating Big Jerm just once would be more of a rush than winning 20 am B tiers...
I posted this in the BG thread and realized it was probably more appropriate here. Enjoy.
When to go pro is a case by case decision that shouldn't be affected by the whining of losing ams or pros who want your cash in their division. Anyone who says otherwise can go suck a pickle.
I think the term "pro" in DG is laughable when the sport can only afford a handfull of players to be full-time pros. IMO, it is an amateur sport for almost all of the players.
hmmmmmm. since the term "pro" means getting paid. and open(pro) players are playing for money, it doesn't seem that laughable. :|
I agree with that sentiment, I'm not better than my rating but I should be. I stil can't shake my mistake prone rounds where I play well except for two holes which I completely blow up on or how I miss 3 putts from inside 15'.
Still not sure if it's a lack of focus or a deficiency in mechanics. One problem is that I'm constantly worried about small teepads, instead of taking my normal x-step that I would in lieu of a teepad i'm taking some awkward thing that resembles my normal form.
Rant over, resume discussion.
