I'm going to do the US Amateur, US Mid-Amateur and possibly enter US Open qualifying at the last minute if my game looks good this spring

Open, Am and the PubLinks. Really wish I could go for the MidAm because it's at Kiawah, but I'm a year away...

haha when you teach 1400 lessons a year it can happen. I'm working on it but it looks like I may have to hold of this year and just play some mini tour events when it gets slow.

That's what I tell dispatch when they ask me if I'd mind picking up another trip. "As long as it doesn't interfere with a round of golf..."
Or as I once said when checking in for duty:
D: "Dispatch, this is ___"
Me: "Hi, this is ___. I'm a golfer but I'm flyin' a plane today..."

They are only allowing 78 players at Shoal, I would sign up soon. It will probably fill up. I used to live in Bham and was going to play there, but I decided to stay close to home. I love Shoal Creek!

For an amateur where should my game be to reasonably make an attempt at State level Ammy events, not to mention National level? Base it on a handicap rating, 2, Scratch +2...?

Usually there is a cap on handicap eligibility (whether it be the USGA or State association)....such as a competitor has to at least be a 2, 4, etc - depending on the event.
Having said that, every dog has his/her day. A 4 handicap can just as likely go out there and shoot even, or 1 under and qualify. A little tougher when it comes to the US AM, as you have to do that for 2 rounds, unlike the 1 round qualifier for the Mid-Am.
I cannot wait for the mid-am, and hope my game is at its peak. My father is a member at the 2 private Kiawah Courses, and let me tell you that "spectacular" is an understatement when it comes to describing them. Two tough tracks!!!

Yeah I knew that there wasn't a qualifying handicap, more I was wondering where I need to take my game before attempting to qualify for such events.

-U.S. Open local qualifier at TPC Boston [ dont have any huge goals, but i figure its worth the $150 to play 2 rounds [ practice round + a tournament round ] at TPC Boston,,,but getting to sectionals would be my relaistic goal
-U.S. Publinks qualifier at Neshanic Valley GC in NJ... [course is sick]
- U.S. Amateur Qualifier at Wampanoug CC or Race Brook CC in CT
