History
No Gimmies. No Mulligans. No Bullshit.
Long ago the age old question was continually being asked: "Who holds the title?" This question has been applied to more than just golf, but the golf title has, for a long time, been the most coveted. As that question got old it was decided that the only way to truly know who the titleholder is was to purchase a traveling trophy and compete for it.
From there, the No-Nomars TitleQuest Tour began and has been evolving ever since then. Membership has been steadily climbing, and 2012 has seen advances in saber-metrics, rankings, major tournaments, and even a Ryder Cup. Future philanthropic quests are in the works as well as the possibility of the Tour developing into a non-profit organization.

Summer Solstice Sunset Showdown III
The 3rd Annual Summer Solstice Sunset Showdown was held on June 21st, 2014 and featured 9 of NoNomars finest golfers. This year all 72 holes were held at Winagamie Golf Course and Adam Weeman was the runaway winner with a 9 stroke victory over the field. It looked like he had given it away after squandering a 15 stroke lead on the field down to 4 strokes in the middle of the 6th 9, but he composed himself and stepped back on the gas to clinch his second MAJOR of the year.
Joe Putzstock was the low Amateur and Brett Hartfiel brought home the coveted dogballs keychain for having the most dogballs in the tournament.

Champaign Invitational II
The Champaign Invitational II was a weekend to remember during the 2013 calendar season. This Mid-Fall classic took place at 3 semi-local courses in Central Illinois, and the elements challenged all Nomars throughout the 4 day stay and play. From 30 mph winds, to temperatures below freezing, the Nomars TitleQuest Tour faced every challenge head on. Weekend highlights include:
- Nick Freeman’s* record setting trip** from the Fox Valley to Bubbly in under 5 hours
- The Four Horsemen Tailgate (4th Annual)
- Lightning & 3pt shooting challenges in the State Farm Center
- 20 access passes to the UW vs. Illinois football game
