History of the Course: The Fundamentals of PhysXXX tournament first appeared as a three strike Tuesday in January 2023. Jim Mueller was the star pupil winning 19 of the 26 Tuesdays. In the fall of 2024, the course was changed to a series but kept the name. Join us to practice the fundamentals on an amazing collection. Check the Space City Calendar for dates.

Congratulations to the following league members who won a 3X tournament (TGP, NASA, Wormhole, PhysXXX) without receiving a strike.
