Northern Waters Series

Hey Mike. If you look at the post directly below yours, you'll see the Ace Pool rules for the event. This was posted on both registration pages here on DGS and also on our website. The only shady business that is going on here is the Car dealership stiffing us the day of. Next year we'll be sure to get the vehicle before advertising for it...so for that, all of the NWS staff is sorry for the fallout.

Hey Mike. If you look at the post directly below yours, you'll see the Ace Pool rules for the event. This was posted on both registration pages here on DGS and also on our website. The only shady business that is going on here is the Car dealership stiffing us the day of. Next year we'll be sure to get the vehicle before advertising for it...so for that, all of the NWS staff is sorry for the fallout.

There isn't anything written in stone about how an ace pool is conducted. It is a side game and up to the person registering whether or not they want to get in. In fact, our ace pool even without the car was a higher value than the money put in. There was still time to get into the skins finals after HHO. If you played HHO, you could play the Sleeping Bear Summit and Bear River Rumble to get into Finals. 3 events and you are qualified.

If you run some numbers, I think you'd be pretty happy with what the HHO offered in terms of value to the players. $1000 added to the pro purses, CTP's for all divisions, the Ams made out like bandits with 150%+ payouts, trophies, 10m circles, and a manicured playing surface. Again, we're sorry for the car mishap, but I'm thinking we'll figure out a way to make it up to the players at next year's event.

Hit an ace at Hickory Hills Open, and you could win a Car, or a Chainstar basket! Cost = $5.00 50% of the money goes into the ace pool payout, 50% of the money goes into the skins fund for the end of the year winners. The value of the car is estimated at $1,500 (THANK YOU Traverse Motors!). The value of the Chainstar is estimated at $400 (THANK YOU Tom Dillon). If nobody hits an ace at HHO, the car will then go to our next event “Sleeping Bear Summit” in Maple City on July 24th. ... more

Hit an ace at Hickory Hills Open, and you could win a Car, or a Chainstar basket!

Cost = $5.00

50% of the money goes into the ace pool payout, 50% of the money goes into the skins fund for the end of the year winners. The value of the car is estimated at $1,500 (THANK YOU Traverse Motors!). The value of the Chainstar is estimated at $400 (THANK YOU Tom Dillon).

If nobody hits an ace at HHO, the car will then go to our next event “Sleeping Bear Summit” in Maple City on July 24th.

If we have more than 1 ace, we will have a playoff on Sunday to determine the winner of the car. You must be present on Sunday to have a shot at winning the car. If you can’t attend the playoff, you will still get your share of the cash, but will lose out on the chance at a car. No “substitute shooters” allowed at the playoff. We will have a shorter tee for women & juniors to shoot from at the playoff. The ace pool payout will be as follows:


For easy explanation purposes, let’s say 80 players enter, for a total of $400. NWS automatically sets aside $200 for end-of-year skins match, leaving $200 left in the ace pool.

1 Ace: Winner gets car & $200
2 Aces: Winner gets car & $100, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $100
3 Aces: Winner gets car & $66.66, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $66.66, 3rd place gets $66.66
4 Aces: Winner gets car & $50, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $50, 3rd-4th places get $50 each
5 Aces: Winner gets car & $40, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $40, 3rd-5th places get $40 each
100 Aces: Winner gets car & $2, Runner-up gets Chainstar & $2, 3rd-100th places get $2 each

So-on and so-forth

Shaky jake    March 11, 2010 at 8:09am

Yeah I herd about the little 9 hole loop but will you post when the full course is up. I'm really wanting to play hickory

Marc Hamlin - Team Tilley's    March 11, 2010 at 1:34am

Jake, the full course should be up soon (April-ish).

If you didn't know, we still have a short 9-hole loop set up out there in the woods between 1-3. Short little pitch & putt alternate holes, but there are some baskets out there.

Shaky jake    March 6, 2010 at 7:22pm

Marc Hamlin - Team Tilley's    March 2, 2010 at 1:17pm

Women & Juniors! If this is your first year playing with us, you get to play for half-price all year. Give us a try!

Marc Hamlin - Team Tilley's    February 6, 2010 at 12:16am

Josh, right now the days should be split up as follows:

Saturday - Pro Master/Grand Master, Am Grand Masters, Am2/3/4 Men & ALL Am Women, Juniors
Sunday - Pro Men & Women, Am Master, Am1 Men

This is the same format we've used in previous years. As always, be sure to check our website just in case something changes.

Josh Taylor    January 11, 2010 at 7:20pm

Anyone know which divisions will be on which days for the split-day tourneys?
