Just wondering where I should start division wise???

A good round for me at the course is -3 but have shot it -7
I'm a decent player but don't really know how well I play under pressure just unfamiliar with the tournament stuff

I would start with intermediate or ask the TD where they think you should be given your average score.

Try looking for previous events at that course on PDGA.com. See where you stand compared to the previous winners.

This except add 3 strokes to your typical score.

Considering they do not have a Rec Division you may want to consider Advanced.

I am guessing that you play this course rather frequently and will fair better than most because of that. Local guys usually look like sand baggers simply because they know the course better than anyone else. I would expect at least one round with all the toughest pin locations and that means you are really better off than most probably becuase you have seen all of them.

Normally I would say that since it's your first tournament, I would start low and see how you fare against that level of competition and use this weekend to gauge where your game is at and to see how the tournament experience fits you.

But, you have playing for 9+ years. So, check the scores of previous tournaments or use what you know of your skills compared to that of your local DG club and the others you play with. You know what you are capable of and where your game is at. In the end, error on the side of non-sandbagging since you have played the course so often if you still can't decide.

well even though you have been playing for a while maybe it's best to start at the bottom then work your way up, and if your putting could use work make sure you practice a lot since that is sometimes the deciding factor to do good in a tournament.
