Gary Naylor Jul 26, 2023Took this from the PDGA website and got rid of the rating requirements. Has he played at Bellevue? What kind of scores is he putting up during recreational rounds?
Brittany Szafran Jul 26, 2023After reading your message, I’d put him in the Mixed AM4. He’s only played three times, but has fallen in love with the sport.
Gary Naylor Jul 27, 2023If he clicks the registered players tab, he can change his registration from MA1 to MA4. You can also ask the tourney director to help you if that doesn't work fpr you.
Shawn Riley Jul 27, 2023Thanks for the insight Gary! MA4 is the division I would pick for new players.
